CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
DETECTOR
SYSTEM
________________
Carbon Monoxide Gas
(CO) is colorless, odorless and tasteless.
It is highly poisonous, endangering lives
even at very low levels of concentration.
Mild exposure causes headaches and fa-
tigue, often resembling “fl u-like” symp-
toms. Medium exposure causes severe
headaches, drowsiness, nausea and
rapid heart rate. Extreme exposure re-
sults in unconsciousness, convulsions,
cardiorespiratory failure and death. If
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) is detected in
your yacht, immediately contact a quali-
fi 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.
Your 352 MY is equipped with three (3)
SAFE-T-ALERT Carbon Monoxide Gas
(CO) detector monitors, which are located
within the interior as follows (See photo-
graphs below, which illustrate the location
of the CO monitors):
• Forward Stateroom
• Salon
• Aft Stateroom
Each CO monitor is operated by DC electri-
cal 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.
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 indica-
tor 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 and clean and
tighten, if necessary. If the GREEN indica-
tor light still fails to illuminate, contact your
Silverton dealer for inspection and replace-
ment. DO NOT attempt to make any repairs
to the unit(s) yourself.
