INTRODUCTION

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

ollow safety rules and pre

vent hazard

ous situations: 1) Use smoking

materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away

rom children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep

lectrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fir

eplaces and chimneys grease- and debris-

ree; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep

ortable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable

materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if

hey are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert

ou to a fire

. Keep at least one working fire

extinguisher on every floor,

and

an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable

eans of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMA

HAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

O is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not

burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances

ypically do not produce CO.

hese fuels include:

ood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline,

kerosene, and propane.

ommon appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly main-

tained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.

CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight”

omes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing

can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed

ith ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

edium Exposure:

hrobbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are

xtremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain mini-

um over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm

before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important?

ecause you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still

eact in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware

that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer

react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and

ets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any

symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or

respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly

eople can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience

even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

arbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult

to locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that

can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

•

House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

•

Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be diffi-

cult to locate the source of CO.

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to

pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or ser

ice call.

OTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like:

ortable heater, gas or wood burning

ireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop,

gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting:

corroded or disconnected water heater

vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue,

or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or

logged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device:

perating a barbecue grill or vehicle

n an enclosed area (like a garage or

scr

eened porch).

ransient CO Problems:

“

transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can

e caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

he following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor

onditions such as:

•

Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in

he vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

•

Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

•

Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited

fresh air.

•

nt pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or

water heaters.

•

Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify

he above situations.

. E

xtended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fir

eplace).

. T

mperature

inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

. C

ar idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

hese conditions are

dangero

us because they can trap exhaust in your home.

Since these conditions can come and go, they ar

e also hard to recreate during

CO investigation.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds

loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average,

healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

o help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and

ests for pro

per air flow.

Also, have a pro

fessional check for rust and

corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can prevent proper

air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney

n any way that would block air flow.

•

Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas

r oil companies and HVA

C companies off

er appliance inspections for

a nominal fee.

•

Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check

appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the

urn

er and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame

eans fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be present.

Keep the blower door on the fur

nace closed. Use vents or fans when

hey are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances

re vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in

garages or on scr

een por

ches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on

an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat

xchangers.

•

Check the house or garage on the other side of shar

ed wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is

escaping into your home, open a window or a door

. Opening windows

nd doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

n addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this

anual in its entire

ty,

and make sure

you understand what to do if your

CO Alarm sounds.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

SMOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standar

d UL2034 r

equires residential CO

Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposur

e times as

described below

. They ar

e measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over

time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

•

If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN

60 and 240 MINUTES.

* Appr

oximately 10% COHb exposur

e at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level

of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average,

healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy

adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

Standar

ds:

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon

monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon

monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the

presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust

from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances,

and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels

below those that could cause a loss of ability to r

eact to the dangers of Carbon

Monoxide exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is

designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you

ecious time to leave the house and corr

ect the pr

oblem. This is only possible

if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm

is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false

alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm),

Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopr

opyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000

ppm). V

alues measur

e gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in

ndustrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

equirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion

of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose

moke Alarms should be installed for hearing impair

d r

esidents (CO Alarms ar

ot yet available for the hearing impaired).

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape plan

t least twice a year

making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grand-

arents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding

a fir

drill at night when they ar

sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken

o the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with

obility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill

and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while

amily members ar

sleeping in or

der to determine their r

esponse to the sound of

he Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need

assistance in the event of an emergency.

between them.

his Smoke/CO Alar

may not sense smoke or CO on another level of the

home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor

, may not sense

smoke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one alarm device may not give

adequate early warning. Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in

very sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts

ecommend battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with

interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About Smoke Alarms”

or details.

moke/CO Alarms may not be heard.

he alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds

urr

ent UL standar

ds of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the Smoke/CO

Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one

ho has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE/CO ALARMS

USER’S MANUAL

or additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a Smoke Alarm in

all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where tempera-

ures normally remain between 40˚ F (4˚ C) and 100˚ F (38˚ C). Make sure no

oor or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

ore specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or

ompletely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping

reas, install a unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet long (12 meters),

nstall a unit at each end.

•

At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom

of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state

nd from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current

requirements in your area.

It is recommended AC or AC/DC units be

interconnected for added protection.

INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS IN MOBILE HOMES

or minimum security install one Smoke Alarm as close to each sleeping area as

possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes

(especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation. If your mobile

ome is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is

important to install units on inside walls only. Smoke Alarms should be installed

where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4˚ C) and 100˚ F (38˚ C).

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection

quipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A Smoke Alarm

nstalled in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside bedrooms),

and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms,

itchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage

ooms, basements, and attached garages.

ECOMMENDED PLACEMENT

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be

laced between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the

all/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the

enter as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and

ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

OTE:

or any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep

carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

nstalling Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping

rea as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older

mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation.

If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount

f insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

HERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid

xtremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form

hen something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens,

garages, and fur

ace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from

the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space

eater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not

possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is

recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning

sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to

keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source,

and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a

Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate

these areas as much as possible.

•

Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near

itchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor

nd cause unwanted alarms.

•

In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters)

rom a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room,

tility room, or other source of high humidity.

•

In direct sunlight.

•

In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may

vent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

•

In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚F

(

38˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished

ttics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

•

n insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing

chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical

“

INST

ALLA

TION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in

every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information For

Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends

that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping

area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install

additional CO Alarms in each separate bedr

oom, and on every level of your

home.

NOTE: For added pr

otection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least

15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where

possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance

cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace

or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters)

will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

•

Inside every bedr

oom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or

completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping

eas, install a unit in each. If a hall is mor

e than 40 feet (12 meters) long,

install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage

areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F

(4˚ C and 38˚ C).

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

This combination Smoke/CO Alarm was designed to be mounted on the

ceiling or wall. It is not a tabletop device.

You must install this device on the

eiling or wall as outlined below. Read “Where To Install This Alarm” before

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

•

If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you

of a potentially danger

ous situation that r

equir

es your immediate

ttention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in

njury

or death.

•

Never r

emove the batteries fr

om a batter

y operated Smoke/CO

larm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alar

m so it cannot sense smoke,

and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the

moke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

•

Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

•

Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get

essed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors

and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

•

Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home,

and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

•

Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

•

Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.
