temporarily solved, it is crucial that the source
of the CO be determined and appropriate
repairs made.
CO alarm have limitation. Like any other
electronic device, CO alarms are not fool-
proof. CO alarms have a limited operational
life. You must test your CO alarm weekly,
because it could fail to operate at any time.
If your CO alarm fails to test properly, or if its
self-diagnostic test reveals a malfunction,
replace the unit immediately. Your SMCCO02-Z
will not monitor CO levels while in an trouble
condition.
CO alarm can only sense CO that reaches the
unit’s sensor. It is possible that CO may be
present in other areas without reaching the
alarm. The rate and ability with which CO
reaches the alarm may be affected by:
¾ Doors or other obstructions.
¾ Fresh air from a vent, an open window,
or other source.
¾ CO being present on one level of the
home and not reaching a CO alarm
installed on a different level. (For
example, CO in the basement may not
reach an alarm on the second level, near
the bedrooms).
For these reasons, we recommend you provide
complete coverage by placing a CO alarm on
every level of the home.
CO alarms should not be used to detect the
presence of natural gas (methane), propane,
butane, or other combustible fuels.
Instruct children never to touch or otherwise
interfere with the alarm. Warn children of the
dangers of CO poisoning.
