Home Safety Tips

Many CO poisonings are caused by equipment failures due to poor main-
tenance, product defects, and damaged parts. The following is a list of
safety tips to help prevent CO poisoning within your home:
1. Have all fuel-burning appliances inspected and cleaned yearly by a
qualified service technician. The furnace, water heater, and stove are
some of the leading sources of CO in homes.
2. Clean fireplace vents and chimney regularly. A blocked chimney could
cause a backdraft of CO into the home. Do not cap chimney. This will
cause a backdraft of CO into the home.
3. Do not cap or cover a draft hood or exhaust vent to any appliance. This
will trap dangerous CO inside the house.
4. Do not close off or confine your fuel-burning appliances in a closed
area. They need plenty of ventilation to operate properly.
5. Do not use liquid propane (LP) or charcoal grills indoors.
6. Do not operate any gasoline-powered equipment indoors.
7. Allow for plenty of ventilation when using a kerosene heater. Do not use
in small areas.
Preventive maintenance, common sense, and a CO detection device are
some of the best methods of preventing CO poisoning. However, a danger-
ous situation can happen to anyone at any time. The following list illustrates
some danger signs of CO presence.
1. Soot and dirt build-up seeping out of chimney or other exhaust vents.
2. A mostly yellow (rather than clear blue) burner flame or pilot flame in gas
appliances.
3. A draft of air coming from an appliance, chimney, or vents.
If you have flu-like symptoms or suspect CO poisoning, seek
medical assistance immediately!

de la alarma de CO con el alambre blanco de la corriente de la casa.
7. Conecte el alambre negro de la alarma de CO con el alambre negro de
la corriente de la casa.
8. Para interconectar las alarmas:
• Use un alambre trenzado o
sólido que tenga un grosor
mínimo No. 18 AWG. Cuando
haga la interconexión, la
distancia máxima entre dos
alarmas es 457,20 m (1500
pies) si usa alambres No. 18
AWG o 1219,20 m (4000
pies) si usa alambre No. 14 AWG (resistencia de 20
ohmios en el tramo de conexión). Vea la Figura 2.
• Esta alarma de monóxido de carbono puede ser interconectada
hasta con 11 alarmas más de monóxido de carbono Firex, o hasta
con 12 alarmas de humo Firex, y con 5 alarmas de monóxido de
carbono o calor, para un total de 8 unidades.
• Esta alarma de monóxido de carbono puede ser interconectada con
los modelos de alarmas de humo y calor de Firex FADC, ADC, PAD y
ADH. NO la conecte a ningún otro modelo de alarma de monóxido
de carbono, humo o calor.
• Tome nota de que esta alarma de
monóxido de carbono no hará que
las alarmas de humo y calor inter-
conectadas suenen sus bocinas. Esta
alarma de monóxido de carbono per-
manecerá en silencio si las alarmas
de humo y calor interconectadas
están sonando, aún si hay una acu-
mulación de monóxido de carbono.
• Conecte las alarmas de monóxido de
carbono y de humo en un solo circuito derivado de CA.
Si los códigos locales no permiten la conexión en un solo circuito deriva-
do de CA, asegúrese de que el cable neutro sea común para todos los
circuitos utilizados.
