Introduction

All:Sense combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms conform with regulatory requirements,including EN 14604 and EN 50291 Standards and are designed to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide.
“This unit adopts photoelectric technology to detect smoke which is generally more sensitive than ionization technology. It is effective at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires. These types of fires may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless,tasteless and invisible—it’s a slent killer. Using electrochemical sensing technology, this unit can detect increased levels of carbon monoxide early, protecting your family from the dangers of carbon monoxide.

• The installation of the apparatus should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel-burning appiiances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems,
• This apparatus i 1o be installed by a competent person.
• Itis not tested for use i a caravan or boa.

NOTE: For maximum protection, use smoke and CO alarms on each level an bedroom of your home.

2. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything
3. Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them
4. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them,
5. Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).
6. Take short, shallow breaths.
7. Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.
8. Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.
9. Never go backinside a burning building for any reason
10. Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your horme safer.

If the CO Alarm Sounds

1. Keep calm and immediately move to fresh air. Open all doors and windows to increase the rate of ventilation Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are turned off: eg. for gas appliances, isolate the emergency control valve.
2. If the alarm continues to be activated, then evacuate the premises. Leave the doors and windows open, and only re-enter the building when the alarm has stopped. In multi-occupancy and multi-storey premises, ensure that all the occupants are alerted to the risk.
3. Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, and advise that carbon monoxide inhalation is suspected
4. Telephone the appropriate appliance servicing and/or maintenance agency o, when necessary, the relevant fuel supplier on their emergency number o the national Gas Emergency Service Provider, if appropriate, so that the source of carbon monoxide emissions can be identified and corrected. Unless the reason for the alarm is obviously spurious, do not use the fuel-burning appliances again, until they have been checked and cleared for use by a competent person according to national regulations.

What You Need to Know About CO
CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal, The build-up of CO in the blood s called the carboxyhermoglobin (COHb) level and interferes with the body’s ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the concentration, CO can killin minutes. The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning gas appliances used for heating and cooking, vehicles running in an attached garage, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grillin an enclosed space.
Indications of carbon monoxide poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger of CO, but experts agree that unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are at the highest risk for serious injury or death. Every year 2 qualified technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney, and flues.
The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the household
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nauses, vomiting, fatigue (often described as flu-like” symptoms) Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, cardiorespiratory failure, death.
The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building, or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familiarization with the effects of each level is important.
Fire Safety Information
Poisoning indicates that while victims are aware, they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familarization with the effects of each level is important.
Escape Plan
Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year, including dills at night. Know two ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a meeting place outside the home where everyone will gather once they have exited the residence. When two people have reached the meeting place, one should leave to call emergency service while the second person stays to account for additional family members. Establish a rule that once youre out, you never reenter under any circumstance!
Fire Prevention
Never smoke in bed, or leave cooking food unattended Teach children never to play with matches or lighters! Trein everyone in the home to recognize the alarm pattern, voice message warning and to leave the home using their escape plan when it heard. Know how to do *Stop, Drop and Roll”if clothes catch on fire, and how to crawl low under smoe.
Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the ktchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency. Second level and higher occupied rooms with windows should have an escape ladder.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that i is the responsibility of
individuals n the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
Following Conditions Can Result in Transient CO Situations:

• Excessive spillage of reverse venting of fuel-buring appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as wind direction and/or velocity,including high gusts of wind, heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
• Negative pressure resulting from the use of exhaust fans,
• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for fimited internal air
• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, fumaces, or water heaters.
• Obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.
• Extended operation of unvented fuekburning devices (range, oven, freplace, etc).
• Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
• A caridiingin an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
