What is Carbon Monoxide? How does it occur?

All burnable material has carbon in it. If it burns, the combustion process often results in incomplete burning or burning in a manner that the Carbon base produces the gas known as “CARBON MONOXIDE”.

In a household, what are the common sources of Carbon Monoxide?     

Smoke from a cigarette, burning of gas in your furnace, burning of wood in your fireplace, an electrical fire or exhaust seeping into your home from your car. When enough Carbon Monoxide (CO) accumulates and you breathe it, after a period of time you will suffer CO effects.

What are the effects of CO poisoning?

At first a headache, dizziness, feeling faint, vomiting and finally death. How is this caused? Through breathing CO into your lungs, the CO is absorbed into your blood. The CO gradually replaces more and more of the oxygen in your blood. Your red blood cells absorb CO 200 times faster than it absorbs oxygen. There is no medicine to help you. You must get fresh air into your lungs at once so oxygen can replace the CO in your blood. If not, death usually follows, as our body system cannot tolerate much CO. And through feeling faint, weak, and resulting semi-consciousness one does not have the strength to help themselves nor their family members.

How to prevent the danger of breathing in too much CO?

Through early detection of the presence of CO by using a dependable CO detector.

Reasons why our CO detectors are better than our competitors：

Quality, reliability and sensitivity. Our detectors will detect and warn you through a loud 85db Alarm. When CO is present and measures a mere 100-PPM (parts per million), and unit CO-110 & CO-220 detects CO, it will turn on the warning signal. It is designed for use in single-family homes, apartments, factories and garages. Our Model CO-110 & Model CO-220 are CE (EMC & LVD) approved, and are within UL2034 Standards；also within ROHS Standards.

Model CO-110 & CO-220 Exhaust Fan Function and Warning sound

When CO reaches 100 PPM the warning sound will turn on in 7.5 minutes, then the exhaust fan sound will turn on in 17.5 minutes and both will continue functioning until the CO reduces to 50 PPM then the alarm circuitry will turn off the exhaust fan and warning sound in 5 minutes.

When CO reaches 400 PPM the alarm circuitry will turn on both the exhaust fan and the warning sound in 5 minutes and both will continue functioning until the CO reduces to 50 PPM then the alarm circuitry will turn off the exhaust fan and warning sound in 5 minutes.

How to install?

 Silent Killer Alert --- CO Detector ：Size： 17.5 cm L x 9.3 cm W x 5 cm H

Hang the Silent Killer Alert CO Detector 5ft (or 160cm) above the floor or at the height when your hand can still reach the green test/reset button. Then plug the electric cord into the electric outlet. The Exhaust Fan is not included.

Self-Testing:

Our Silent Killer Alert CO Detector is designed for internal self-testing. If your CO unit starts emitting an audible sound every 30 seconds or the green light does not turn on or the green light is blinking then the unit is defective. In this event, contact your supplier.

 

Manual Testing:

Press Test/Reset button. The red light should turn on, the green light will flash, and the alarm will sound. This indicates normal function and the CO unit is working properly. Press Test/Rest button once a month.

 If alarm sounds, press the Test/Reset button and the alarm will turn off. If Silent Killer Alert CO Detector is higher than 100 PPM; the Alarm will again turn on after 2.5 minutes. Now you know it’s not a false Alarm. When Silent Killer Alert CO Detector is lower than 50 PPM, the Alarm will turn off by itself.

Warning: Unit will not operate during household electrical power failure.

1 year warranty against manufacturer’s defects.

The internal sensor device has a shelf life of about 4 years.
