1. READ THIS FIRST W ARNING: The Ei225EN Alar m should be permanently wired to the mains by a qualified electrician in accordance with IEE wir ing regulations (BS7671). The Ei220EN is just plugged in to the mains. Install the Carbon Mono xide Alar m (CO Alar m) in e v er y room that contains a fuel burning appliance, par ticularly rooms where peopl[...]

When the CO Alar m detects abnormal lev els of CO (abov e 50ppm CO) the red light star ts to flash and the horn will sound within 90 minutes. At higher le vels of CO the alar m will turn on sooner (see table B - page 9). The CO Alar m will automatically reset once the CO has cleared. Pressing the test/hush button resets the CO Alarm immediately (be[...]

(5) Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency n umber . K eep the number in a prominent place . (6) Do not re-enter the proper ty until the alarm has stopped. (If the alar m has been silenced by pressing the test/hush b utton, wait at least 5 minutes so the alarm can check that the CO has cleared). (7) Do not use the fuel appliances a[...]

(CO) poisoning. CO is an invisible , odour less , tasteless and extremely to xic gas. It is produced by appliances and v ehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, w ood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. CO is absorbed by red b lood cells in the lungs in pref erence to oxygen - this results in rapid damage to the heart an[...]

7 Mild Exposure : Slight headache, nausea, v omiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms). Medium Exposure : Se vere throbbing headache , drowsiness, confusion, f ast hear t rate . Extreme Exposure : Unconsciousness, con vulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death. A high le vel of CO f or a shor t period (e.g. 350 ppm CO f or 30 mi[...]

T able B shows ho w the CO Alar m reacts to diff erent lev els of CO gas and exposure time . At higher le vels of CO the alarm tur ns on sooner . The rate of flashing of the red light indicates the le vel of CO .

(Without this f eature the CO lev el would need to be at 50ppm CO f or 90 minutes for an indication to be giv en). Note the Pre-Alar m signal ma y be tr iggered b y CO coming f or example , from cooking with gas, from car engines or from nearby barbecues . This is usually not a concer n unless the Pre-Alarm signal persists until the alar m sounds a[...]

4. WHERE T O PLA CE CO ALARMS 3.1 Ideally a Carbon Mono xide Alar m should be installed in: - Ev er y room containing a fuel burning appliance, and - Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerab le amount of time - Ev er y bedroom. How ev er if the number of Carbon Mono xide Alar ms is limited the f ollowing points should be considered when deci[...]

(2) Outside the building. (3) In an enclosed space (e.g. in or below a cupboard). (4) In a damp or humid area. (5) Directly abov e a sink or cooker .

(9) In an[...]

13 • The CO alarm should be a hor izontal distance of betw een 1m and 3m from the potential CO source. • If there is a par tition in the room, the CO alarm should be located on the same side of the par tition as the potential source. • In rooms with sloped ceilings, the CO alarm should be located at the high side of the room (see fig 3). 300m[...]

3.31 If locating the CO alarm in a bedroom or in r ooms remote from a fuel burning appliance (see figure 4) • Mount the CO alar m relativ ely close to the breathing zone of the occupants .
