Do not open the device as this could cause
malfunctioning.
7. Carbon monoxide and its effects
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic gas released when
fuels are burned. It is colourless and odourless and is,
therefore, very difficult for human senses to perceive. The first
warning symptoms of the presence of CO in the air are usually
headaches and nausea.
Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, dizziness, nausea, general
pains in the chest or stomach area
Effects of carbon monoxide poisoning
carbon monoxide binds the haemoglobin in the blood which
reduces the oxygen transported in the body. Highly
concentrated CO leads to death within minutes.
35 ppm The highest permissible CO value over a period
of 8 hours
200 ppm Light headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea
400 ppm
800 ppm
1600 ppm
6400 ppm
Although feeling unwell, victims of carbon monoxide
poisoning become so disorientated that they can no longer
decide what to do next, including being unable to exit the
+A1:2012 building or to call for assistance. Very young children often
show symptoms earlier than adults. Being affected while
asleep is the most dangerous situation as the victim will not
wake as a result.
8. Potential sources of Carbon
A hazardous carbon monoxide concentration can be caused
by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels for example solid
fuels (like wood, coal, coke), liquid fuels (like oil or petrol) or
gaseous fuels (like natural, town or liquid (LPG) gas). There
can be several causes of this:

Other sources of carbon monoxide are:

All heating appliances must be regularly serviced by a
qualified specialist.
9. Rooms in which a carbon
Ideally, a carbon monoxide alarm should be installed in every
room with a combustion device or where a flue/chimney
passes through.
!
after 2 to 3 hours
Headache in the area of the forehead within 1
to 2 hours, risk of death after 3 hours
Dizziness, nausea and convulsions within 45
minutes, loss of consciousness within 2 hours,
death within 2 to 3 hours
Headaches, dizziness and nausea within 20
minutes, death within 1 hour
Headaches, dizziness and nausea within 1 to
2 minutes, death within 10 to 15 minutes
Monoxide
A faulty or poorly maintained heating appliance
Poor ventilation in a room
A chimney or flue is blocked, partly blocked or is leaking
Barbeques or Stoves
Petrol or diesel motors in motorcycles, lawnmowers or
other garden equipment, especially when there are
stored in a garage or shed
Cigarette, cigar or pipe smoke
Incorrectly installed heating appliances
monoxide alarm must be
installed
Additional detectors may be installed to ensure that
adequate warning is given for occupants in other rooms
by locating detectors in remote rooms in which the
occupants spend considerable time whilst awake and
from which they may not be able to hear an alarm signal
from a device in another part of the premises
