2.1.d Interfering Substances
CO Alarms have a cross sensitivity to other substances that can trigger an alarm.
A CO Alarm should not be exposed to excessive amounts of fumes from petrol, diesel,
solvents, greases, alcohols and organic cleaning fluids.
The Alarm may respond to brief exhaust gas emissions e.g. during initial start-up of an
appliance or engine.
Hydrogen acts as an interferent and may give rise to alarms. Hydrogen can arise from some
battery charging activities and also the curing of concrete under certain circumstances.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the CO Alarm on an intermittent basis, or as a portable detector
for the leakage of combustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys.
