(5) CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. House-holders are responsible
for their own insurance. The CO Alarm warns of increasing CO levels, but we do
not guarantee that this will protect everyone from CO poisoning.
(6) CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce
Carbon Monoxide, but the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such
that they would not give sufficient warning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to
give early warning of fire.
(7) The CO Alarm does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas
(propane, butane) or other combustible gases. Fit combustion Gas Alarms to detect
these. Note: Carbon Monoxide Alarms, with electrochemical sensors have a cross
sensitivity to hydrogen. This means that they can alarm due to sensing hydrogen
being produced by batteries being incorrectly charged such as on boats or with
battery back-up systems such as those used with alternative energy systems. The
CO Alarm will alarm with 500 ppm H2 after between 10 and 40 minutes exposure.
WARNING: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM
THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT
FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF
IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
