SYSTEM OPERATIONS-13
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) is colorless, odorless,
and tasteless. It is highly poisonous, endanger-
ing lives even at very low levels of concentration.
Mild exposure causes headaches and fatigue,
often resembling “fl u-like” symptoms. Medium
exposure causes severe headaches, drowsiness,
nausea, and rapid heart rate. Extreme expo-
sure results in unconsciousness, convulsions,
cardiorespiratory failure, and death. If Carbon
Monoxide Gas (CO) is detected in your yacht,
immediately contact a qualifi ed technician to
locate and repair the source of the poisonous
gas. DO NOT enter your yacht until repairs have
been made and the Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO)
is lowered to an acceptable level. Refer to the
Carbon Monoxide Safety pages in the Boating
Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
Your 33C is equipped with three (3) SAFE-T-ALERT
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) Detector Monitors, which
are located within the interior as follows:
Forward Stateroom
Salon
•
•
Mid Stateroom
Each CO Monitor is operated by DC Electrical Power
and they are connected directly to the batteries. It
is not necessary for the battery switch to be turned
ON for them to operate. The fuses for the monitors
are located behind the AC/DC Panel.
Operation of the CO Monitors requires a ten (10)
minute warm-up period; during which time, the sensor
element is cleaned and the unit is stabilized. During
this ten minute warm-up period, the GREEN indicator
light will fl ash ON and OFF. The GREEN indicator
light will remain ON after the completion of the warm-
up period until the presence of Carbon Monoxide Gas
is detected. If the GREEN indicator light does not
illuminate, check all wiring connections; clean and
tighten, if necessary. If the GREEN indicator light
still fails to illuminate, contact your Silverton Dealer
for inspection and replacement. DO NOT attempt to
make any repairs to the unit(s) yourself.
