Carbon monoxide alarm are mainly based on the principle of electrochemical reaction. When the alarm detects carbon monoxide in the air, the measuring electrode will react quickly and convert this reaction into an electrical sianal. The electrical signal will be transmitted to the microprocessor of the device and compared with the preset safety value lf the measured value exceeds the safety value, the device will emit an alarm.
Since we are most vulnerable to the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning while we sleep, it is important to place alarms near your family's bedrooms. If you only have one CO alarm, place it as close to everyone's sleeping area as possible.
CO alarms can also have a screen that shows the CO level and needs to be at a height where it's easy to read. Also keep in mind not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel-burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up.
To test your carbon monoxide detectors, press and hold the test button on the alarm. The detector will sound 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps for 5-6 seconds. Refer to the user manual for your specific model.
