System Sensor CO Dectectors

Frequently Asked Questions and CO1224TR Monoxide Detectors with RealTest is carbon monoxide monoxide CO is an odorless colorless tasteless and highly toxic gas is produced when ame fueled devices such as heating systems power tools grills ovens malfunction or are not properly vented happens if CO is inhaled CO is absorbed into the bloodstream replacing the oxygen traveling to vital organs the body Depending on the concentration of CO in the air and the length exposure effects can include a mild headache drowsiness nausea dizziness and suffocation CO poisoning can occur with small amounts in the bloodstream over time or large amounts being inhaled quickly do CO detectors protect residents from poisoning detectors protect residents by monitoring the air and measuring the amount CO present over a time interval When dangerous levels are calculated detectors ash and sound a temp 4 alarm are the bene ts of a monitored CO detector detectors can be connected to a control panel that communicattes alarm and supervisory to a central monitoring station Supervised detectors provide peace of mind adding an extra level of protection for situations in which residents cannot respond an unsupervised alarm such as when residents are sleeping when the home is empty when residents are already suffering from the effects of CO If the CO concentration hits dangerous level the homeowner will not only be noti ed by the detector but also by the monitoring station If the resident is unreachable the central monitoring station will the proper emergency response Central monitoring station procedures may vary should a CO detector be installed a CO detector should be installed Within 10 feet of all sleeping areas Inside the bedroom if it contains a fuel burning appliance On every oor of the residence or building In any room that contains a fuel burning appliance y s t e m s e n s o r c o m c o 10 16 should the CO1224T CO1224TR unit be wired a re or security control panel NFPA 720 CO detectors must be wired on a non re No other re or intrusion device shall be installed on the zone to prevent the CO alarm from being reset while it is low level CO accumulation This could cause a level of CO to be present for an unsafe amount of time the CO1224T CO1224TR be tested in fact the CO1224T CO1224TR is the rst system CO that can quickly and easily be tested using Solo C6 canned carbon monoxide canned carbon monoxide safe to use Carbon monoxide is dangerous based on two factors in the environment and length of exposure lower the concentrations the longer people need to exposed in order for harmful symptoms to occur The of gas found in canned CO products will not symptoms of harm when dispensed for short amounts time When using canned CO please read and follow all instructions the RealTest feature take a lot of time The RealTest feature on the CO1224T CO1224TR allows the to easily test the detector in less than one minute is the warranty for the CO1224T CO1224TR Sensor warrants the CO1224T CO1224TR to be free defects in materials and workmanship under normal and service for a period of three years from date of Please see the installation manual for complete information should a CO detector not be installed a CO detector should not be installed Within 10 feet of any cooking appliance Directly above a sink cooker stove or oven Next to a door or window that could be affected air currents i e extractor fan or air vent Outside or in a garage or attic In any environment that does not comply with the detector speci cations In or below a cupboard Where air ow would be obstructed by curtains furniture Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor Where it could be damaged or inadvertently removed CO detectors required by law states and localities require CO detectors Check the local Authority Having Jurisdiction AHJ for detector requirements in your area You can also details on state CO laws by reviewing the map at are the System Sensor CO1224T and round CO detectors CO1224T and CO1224TR detectors are 6 wire carbon monoxide detectors that work with both and 24 volt re and security panels and have central station capabilities These are the rst CO detectors to a test feature that veri es CO cell functionality do electrochemical detectors compare with detectors detectors are the newest most re ned CO available They take the most accurate readings of CO from low levels of CO that may be hazardous long periods of time to high concentrations that present an danger is the life span of the CO1224T CO1224TR detector electrochemical sensor operates for approximately ten years built in timer will signal the control panel when the detector to be replaced 10 16
