4. What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas which is extremely
difficult to be perceived through the human senses. It is generated during an
incomplete oxidation of substances containing carbon, such as wood, charcoal,
fuel oil, petrol or gas.
Carbon monoxide kills or harms hundreds of people every year. It binds the
haemoglobin in the blood and reduces the quantity of oxygen in the body. In high
concentrations, carbon monoxide can poison a person in just a few minutes.
5. Triggering sensitivity
If the device records increased CO values, an alarm signal sounds and the red LED
starts blinking. At the same time the current CO value is displayed on the display
of the device.
CO concentration
30 ppm-49 ppm
50 ppm-99 ppm
100 ppm-299 ppm
300 ppm or higher
6. Positioning the carbon monoxide detector
If you stay in a single-storey apartment, you should install a CO detector in the
bedroom, in the corridor or near the sleeping area as the minimum protection
required. In any case, ensure that the alarm is clearly audible in the sleeping area.
If your home has multiple storeys, ensure that at least one CO detector is located
on each floor. For an optimal protection, an alarm should be installed in or near
every room, where a fuel-burning appliance such as a fireplace or a stove is
available.
