• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, When the CO Alarm detects abnormal levels of CO (above 50ppm CO) the red light starts to flash immediately and the horn will sound within 90 minutes. At higher levels of CO the alarm will turn on sooner (see table B - page 8). The CO Alarm will automatically reset once the CO has cleared. Pressing the test/hush button resets the CO Alarm immediately (below 300ppm CO). If CO is still present the red light and horn will turn on again after about 4 minutes. The CO Alarm is no substitute for keeping chimneys and flues clear and in good condition, and all of y

• (3) The CO Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away. Interconnecting CO Alarms greatly improves the probability that they will be heard. The Alarm may not wake up somebody who has taken alcohol or drugs. The alarm sound may be masked by other sounds such as T.V., stereo, traffic noise etc. Fitting CO Alarms on eith

GETTING THE CO ALARM SERVICED If your CO Alarm fails to work after you have carefully read all the instructions, checked the unit has been installed correctly, and ensured that it has good batteries connected (‘pull’ tag should be removed), return it for repair or replacement. This should be where it was purchased, or alternatively return it in a padded box to “Customer Assistance and Information” at the nearest address given on the CO Alarm or in this leaflet. (If the unit is beeping then remove the bat

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, (The batteries in the Ei204EN, 205EN, 205ENA & 205CEN will usually last over 4 years in standby under normal conditions and an undepleted battery can power a unit in alarm for over 100 hours. The batteries in the Ei203EN will usually last over 1 year in standby under normal conditions and an undepleted battery can power a unit in alarm for over 20 hours. The life will be reduced if the unit regularly goes into alarm or if it is exposed to excessive temperatures for long periods). Amber Fault I

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, produce the same level of signal as 100 ppm CO and so the unit will alarm with 500 ppm H2 after between 10 and 40 minutes exposure. Note: Concrete setting in a confined space can produce hydrogen which may trigger the alarm. WARNING: This CO Alarm is designed to protect individuals from the acute effects of Carbon Monoxide exposure. It will not fully safeguard individuals with specific medical conditions. If in doubt consult a medial practitioner. 9. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY Follow these guidelines t

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, 1. READ THIS FIRST Power up the unit by smoothly withdrawing the red “pull” tab at the top left hand corner of the unit. If the batteries are supplied separately install the three AA batteries by sliding the upper cover off as shown in figure 5a page 15. The green, red & amber lights will immediately flash in sequence to show they are working - this is normal.Then wait 15 seconds after connecting the power before button testing. Install the Carbon Monoxide Alarm (CO Alarm) in every room that contains a fuel burning appliance, particularly rooms where people spend a lot of time e.g. bedrooms, kitchens and s

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, (3) These appliances must “breathe in” air to burn the fuel properly. Know where the air comes from and ensure vents/air bricks etc. remain unobstructed (particularly after building work). (4) The appliances must also “breathe out” the waste gases (including the CO) – usually through a flue or chimney. Ensure chimneys and flues are not blocked or leaking, and get them checked every year. Check for excessive rust or cracks on appliances and pipe work. (5) Never leave your car, motor bike or lawnmower engine running in the garage with the garage door closed. Never leave the door from the

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, Many cases of reported Carbon Monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disorientated that they are unable to save themselves by either leaving the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected. Table A: Effects of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning 35 The maximum allowable concentration for continuous exposure in any 8 hour period according to OSHA *. 150 Slight headache after 1.5 hours. 200 Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea after 2-3 hours. 400 Frontal headaches within 1-2 hours, life threatening after 3 hours, also maximum parts per million

• 4.31 If locating the CO alarm in a room with a fuel burning appliance (see figure 2) • If it is mounted on a wall, it should be located at a height greater than the height of any door or window but still be at least 150mm from the ceiling. • If it is mounted on the ceiling it should be at least 300mm from any wall or light fitting. • The CO alarm should be a horizontal

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, If there is still problems: (1) Ensure there are no fuel burning appliances in the vicinity which could be leaking CO gas (e.g. even from next door). (2) Ensure there are no fumes in the area (e.g. paint, thinners, hair spray, chemical cleaners aerosol sprays etc). (3) Ensure there is no outdoor source of CO in the vicinity (e.g. a car with engine running, heavy traffic, heavy air pollution, barbecue fumes etc). (4) Ensure there is no source of hydrogen such as batteries being charged (e.g. on boats or in UPS’s, Uninterruptible Power Supplies). (5) Ensure there is not excessive s

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, 6. TESTING & MONITORING YOUR CO ALARM Button Test It is recommended that you test your CO Alarm after installation (wait 15 seconds after connecting the power) and then once a week to make sure the unit is working. It will also help you and your family to become familiar with the sound of the alarm. Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds (it may take up to 5 seconds) and the green or red light flashes. The alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released. If there is a problem follow the checklist below. Power On Indicator

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, 4.2 Unsuitable Locations Do not place the CO Alarm in any of the following areas. (1) In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance (keep it at least 1 metre horizontally from it). (2) Outside the building. (3) In an enclosed space (e.g. in or below a cupboard). (4) In a damp or humid area. (5) Directly above a sink or cooker. (6) Next to a door, window, air vent or anywhere that it would be affected by draughts. (7) Next to an extractor fan. (8) Where it would be obstructed, e.g. by curtains

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, High levels of CO in a house can be caused by: • Incorrectly or poorly installed fuel-burning appliances. • Blocked or cracked chimneys/flues. • Blocked vents or draught-proofing which makes areas with fuel burning appliances or fireplaces airtight. • Engines of cars, lawnmowers etc. left running in confined spaces. • Portable paraffin or gas heaters in badly ventilated rooms. 3.2 Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Most people know that high levels of CO are harmful, however the period of exposure is also important. The following symptoms are related to Carbon Monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with all mem

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, How to distinguish between CO Alarm and Smoke Alarm warnings The CO Alarm has a distinctive on-off sound of 3 pulses, followed by a pause as compared with a typical Smoke Alarm which has a rapid pulsing sound. In addition, when your CO Alarm detects CO the red light will be flashing. Testing both your CO Alarm and Smoke Alarms weekly will help you and your family to clearly distinguish between them in an emergency. 7. MAINTENANCE Clean the outside case by occasionally wiping with a clean damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, bleaches, detergents or polishes, including tho

• NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM. Pre-Alarm: When the alarm detects over 50ppm CO the red light flashes every 2 seconds. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit gives an indication straight away. (Without this feature the CO level would need to be at 50ppm CO for 90 minutes for an indication to be given). Note the Pre-Alarm signal may be triggered by CO coming for example, from cooking with gas, from

• Ei Electronics Ei 203EN, End of Life When the unit has completed up to 6 years of operation the amber light will flash every 40 seconds. The entire unit must then be replaced. It must also be replaced when the date on the “Replace Unit by” label on the side wall is exceeded. When the battery is depleted the unit will beep every 45 seconds and the green light will flashe at same time. The beeps on an Ei205EN or Ei205CEN CO Alarm only may be silenced by cutting the wire situated under the cover. See figures 5a & 5b to see how to remove the cover and locate the wire. On other units first remove the battery cells. 8. LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS (1) The CO Alarm will not work wi
