the bodyās ability to supply oxygen to itself.
Because CO is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and highly
poisonous gas that prevents the blood from carrying oxygen to vital
organs, CO is 200 times more likely to replace oxygen in the blood.
It can endanger lives even at low levels of concentration.
DUAL SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
The SAFE-T-ALERT series combination CO/Propane Gas Alarm is
an alarm that combines into a single, compact system a powerful
alarm that detects both Carbon Monoxide (CO) and explosive gases
propane (LPG) and Methane (Natural Gas).
The 35 series uses the latest microprocessor technology combined
with two electronic self-cleaning sensors that operate independently
of each other. The combined unit can detect CO and explosive
gases simultaneously.
Operation
When the unit is first powered up, the CO sensor requires a ten (10)
minute initial warm-up period to clean the sensor element and
achieve stabilization. The GREEN LED indicator will flash on and off
during the 10 minute warm-up period. The unit cannot go into a CO
alarm during the warm-up period. To test your unit during the warm-
up period, press the test button. See Test Procedure in this manual.
After the warm-up period, the GREEN power ON indicator should
glow continuously if the ON indicator light does not light, see the
section, Trouble-Shooting Guide, in this manual for further
information. Do not attempt to fix it yourself.
Gas Alarm: When you power the alarm, it has a warm-up period of
approximately 1 minute. This unit cannot go into a gas alarm during
the warm-up period. After 1 minute the alarm can detect explosive
