What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide is a lethal gas produced in normal amounts whenever you use
an appliance which burns a combustible fuel. Combustible fuels include gas,
oil, kerosene, charcoal and wood. When proper ventilation of appliances becomes
blocked, carbon monoxide concentrations build up inside your home and become
deadly. Because carbon monoxide is invisible, tasteless and odorless, its victims
may never know there is something wrong until it’s too late. It often
takes the lives of whole families. Children and the elderly are the first to
be overcome along with pets. Over 2,500 people in the United States will die
each year of carbon monoxide poisoning and over 10,000 will be hospitalized.
Most victims who lose consciousness may be left with permanent brain damage,
mental and speech disorders, vision and hearing impairments, seizures, coma
or death.
Why Should I Worry?
Carbon Monoxide quickly replaces vital oxygen in the blood which results in
suffocation from the inside out. It could take as little as 3 minutes, depending
on the level of concentration. Since you cannot see, hear, taste or smell carbon
monoxide, the only way to protect your family is to recognize the symptoms and
install a carbon monoxide detector.
Instructions
Recommended test areas are: homes, kitchens, furnace areas, garages, cars,
RVs, campers, boats, airplanes, wood stoves, fireplaces, space heaters and water
heaters.
- When ready to use, remove the tan sensor button from the foil package and
snap it firmly into the hole on the front of the plastic badge.
- Write the date you started testing on the lower right-hand corner of the
front of the plastic badge.
- Peel the protective coating off of the adhesive on the back of the plastic
badge and mount to any hard, flat surface in the area of concern.
If carbon monoxide is present, the sensor button will turn grey to black within
fifteen (15) minutes.
The sensor button will return to its original color and be ready for reuse
when exposed to fresh air (unless the sensor has been overexposed). Even a slight
darkening of the sensor button indicates a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide.
Note: Replace sensor button every three (3) months.
Caution: The sensor button will be damaged by halogens, ammoniac and nitrous
gases. Keep away from cleaners, solvents and other contaminants. Harsh direct
sunlight will bleach out sensor button and shorten useful life.
