11. Limitations of CO Alarms
(1) The CO Alarm will not work without good batteries. If the batteries have been
drained the Alarm will not give protection. Button test the Alarm weekly and on
return from holidays and other long absences.
(2) Carbon Monoxide must enter the CO Alarm for it to be detected. There may be
Carbon Monoxide in other areas of the house (e.g. downstairs, in a closed room
etc) but not in the vicinity of the CO Alarm. Doors, air draughts and obstructions can
prevent the CO reaching the Alarm. For these reasons we recommend CO Alarms
are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at
night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of
their time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas.
(3) The CO Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be
heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away. RF interconnecting CO Alarms
greatly improves the probability that they will be heard. The Alarm may not wake
up somebody who has taken alcohol or drugs. The Alarm sound may be masked
by other sounds such as T.V., stereo, traffic noise etc. Fitting CO Alarms on either
side of closed doors will improve their chance of being heard. This CO Alarm is not
designed for people with impaired hearing.
(4) CO Alarms don’t last indefinitely. CO Alarms are sophisticated electronic
devices with many parts. Although the Alarm and its component parts have
undergone stringent tests, and are designed to be very reliable, it is possible that
parts can fail. Therefore, you should test your CO Alarm weekly. The CO Alarm
must be replaced when the “REPLACE UNIT BY” date has been reached. Check
the label on the side of the Alarm.
