1. READ THIS FIRST W ARNING: The Ei225EN Alar m should be per manently wired to the mains b y 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 b ur ning appliance, par ticularly rooms where p[...]

When the CO Alar m detects abnormal lev els of CO (abov e 50ppm CO) the red light star ts to flash and the hor n 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 b utton resets the CO Alar m immediately[...]

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

(CO) poisoning. CO is an invisib le, odourless, tasteless and e xtremely to xic gas. It is produced b y appliances and v ehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, par affin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. CO is absorbed b y red blood cells in the lungs in pref erence to o xygen - this results in rapid damage to the hear t [...]

7 Mild Exposure : Slight headache, nausea, v omiting, f atigue (often descr ibed as “flu-lik e” symptoms). Medium Exposure : Se vere throb bing headache, dro wsiness, confusion, f ast hear t rate . Extreme Exposure : Unconsciousness, con vulsions, cardiorespir ator y f ailure, death. A high le vel of CO f or a shor t period (e.g. 350 ppm CO f o[...]

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

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.
