damage. Make sure to reinstall the detector once done so
as to assure continuous protection.
IF SMOKE ALARM ACTIVATES: Never ignore the sound
of the alarm. Check for signs of fire or smoke throughout
the residence. If a fire is discovered, follow the steps listed
below. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with these items
and review them with all of your family members.
- Alert small children in the home. Children sleep very
soundly and may not be awakened by the sound of smoke
or CO alarms.
- Leave immediately using one of your predetermined
escape routes. Every second counts. Do not get dressed
or pick up valuables.
- Before opening inside doors, look for smoke seeping in
around edges. Feel the door with the back of your hand.
If the door is hot, try to use another exit. If you feel it is
safe, open the door very slowly but be prepared to close it
should smoke rush in.
- If your escape route requires you to go through smoke,
crawl low and under the smoke where the air is clearer.
- Go to your predetermined meeting place. When two
people have arrived, one should leave to call 911 from a
neighbor’s home. The other should stay to perform a head
count.
- Do not reenter the premises under any circumstances
until the fire department gives you permission.
FIRE SAFETY INFORMATION: While a smoke detector
can provide an early warning of possible fires, there are
situations where it may not be effective. Never smoke
in bed, leave cooking food unattended, leave children
unsupervised, or clean with flammable liquids such as
gasoline. NFPA Code 72 states that life safety from fire
in residential occupancies is based primarily on early
notification to occupants of the need to escape, followed
by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants.
Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable
of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially
fatal fires. Train everyone in the home to recognize the
different alarm patterns and to leave the home using a
predetermined escape plan when heard. Train everyone
how to “stop, drop and roll” if clothes catch on fire and
how to crawl under smoke. Install and maintain fire
extinguishers on every level of the home and in the
kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire
extinguisher prior to an emergency. Occupied rooms
with windows on the second level and higher should have
escape ladders. It is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide
assistance to those who may not be awakened by the
alarm sound or who may be incapable of safely evacuating
the area unassisted.
IF CO ALARM ACTIVATES: Never ignore the sound of
the alarm.
WARNING!! Actuation of your CO alarm indicates
the presence of carbon monoxide which can kill
you. If CO is detected, follow these steps. Thoroughly
familiarize yourself with these items and review them with
all of your family members.
- Call your emergency services, fire department or 911.
- Alert small children in the home. Children sleep very
soundly and may not be awakened by the sound of smoke
or CO alarms.
- Immediately move to fresh air or outdoors by opening
doors or windows. Do a head count to confirm everyone
is accounted for.
- Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the
open door or window until the emergency services
responders have arrived, the premises have been aired
out, and your alarm returns to normal.
- If you know the source or cause of the CO problem,
never restart or reuse it until it has been repaired. Call
a qualified technician to investigate for sources of CO
gas from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and
inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems
are identified during this inspection, have the equipment
serviced immediately.
- If your alarm reactivates within 24 hours, call your
emergency services, fire department or 911 and repeat
the steps listed above.
CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY INFORMATION: Carbon
Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless
poisonous gas that can be fatal when inhaled. Actuation of
your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide
in your home which can kill you.
The Smoke/CO detector will only indicate the presence of
CO gas at the sensor. CO gas may be present in other
areas.
WARNING!! This product is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to
measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
OSHA has established that continuous exposure levels
of 50 ppm should not be exceeded in an 8 hour period.
Individuals with a medical problem may consider using
warning devices which provide audible and visual signals
for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30ppm.
CO can be produced by any fuel-burning (gasoline,
propane, natural gas, oil, wood, etcetera) appliance that is
malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not correctly
ventilated. Possible sources of CO include
furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, wood-burning stoves, gas
clothes dryers, water heaters, portable fuel-burning space
heaters, fireplaces, and certain swimming pool heaters.
Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in
air pressure, corroded or disconnected vent pipes, and
loose or cracked furnace exchangers may also result in
CO. Vehicles and other combustion engines running in
an attached garage and using a charcoal or gas grill in
an enclosed area are additional possible sources of CO.
Always install appliances according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and adhere to local building codes. Most
appliances should be installed by professionals and
inspected after installation. Verify that the color of flame
on pilot lights and burners is blue. A yellow or orange flame
is a sign that the fuel is not burning completely. Regularly
examine vents and chimneys for improper connections,
visible rust, or stains, and check for cracks in furnace heat
exchangers. Have your heating system, vents, chimney
and flue inspected and cleaned by a qualified technician
every year.
SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING:
Many cases of reported
CO poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they
are not well, they become so disoriented that they are
unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or
calling for assistance. Initial CO poisoning symptoms are
similar to the flu with no fever and can include dizziness,
severe headaches, nausea, vomiting and disorientation.
Everyone is susceptible but experts agree that unborn
babies, young children, pregnant women, senior citizens
and people with heart or respiratory problems are
especially vulnerable. If symptoms of CO poisoning
are experienced, call 911 and seek medical attention
immediately.
The following symptoms are related to CO
poisoning and should be discussed with ALL
members
of
the
household.
Familiarizing
yourself with the effects of each level is important.
- MILD EXPOSURE: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue (often described as “Flu-like” symptoms).
- MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache,
drowsiness, rapid heart rate.
- EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, convulsions,
cardio respiratory failure, death.
The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults.
Levels will differ for those at higher risk. Exposure to
high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause
permanent damage and disabilities.
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
(NFPA): For your information, the NFPA’s Standard 72,
reads as follows: Smoke Detection. Where required by
applicable laws, codes, or standards for the specified
occupancy, approved single-and multiple-station smoke
alarms shall be installed as follows: (1) In all sleeping
rooms (Exception: Smoke alarms shall not be required
in sleeping rooms in existing one and two family dwelling
units); (2) Outside of each separate sleeping area, in
immediate vicinity of the sleeping rooms; (3) On each
level of the dwelling unit, including basements (Exception:
In existing one and two family dwelling units, approved
smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted).
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?
The required number of smoke alarms might not provide
reliable early warning protection for those areas separated
by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke
alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the
householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms
for those areas for increased protection. The additional
areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room,
furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected
by the required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke
alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or
garages is not normally recommended, as these locations
occasionally experience conditions that can result in
improper operation.
CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHALL: Early warning
fire detection is best achieved by the installation of
fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the
household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each
separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside
the bedrooms), heat or smoke detectors in the living
rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways,
attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms,
basements and attached garages.
CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION:
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
recommends the use of at least one CO Alarm per
household, located near the sleeping area.
