Model 2010

This C O Monitor, Model 2010 is designed to provide the consumer with very, very early warnings of the presence of Carbon Monoxide, thereby eliminating the PANIC and the need for an immediate call to 911 for a trip to the hospital, and far too often the need for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment. This C O – Experts Low Level C O “Health” Monitor is designed to put you IN CONTROL OF, ….. NOT AT THE MERCY OF Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.                                                                                              

C O – Experts Low Level C O “Health” Monitor provides features ….. not  offered by any other C O alarm in the World.  Designed to give you both audible & visual warnings even earlier then the “Safety Levels”  established by ACGIH [25ppm], NIOSH [35ppm], and OHSA [50ppm]. [All 8 hr. TWA]. C O – Experts lets you know IMMEDIATELY at 7 PPM, 25 PPM, 35 PPM, 50PPM, and the EXIT IMMEDIATELY WARNING at 70 to 100 PPM.                                                                                       

This Low-Level Carbon Monoxide Monitor IS NOT a “Standard”, UL 2034, ULC, or CSA Listed C O Alarm, and is not intended to replace  the installation of such products, if such a CO Alarm is REQUIRED by State or Local “By-Laws” that DO NOT contain a “OR SUPERIOR Technology” Clause.  If you live in such a location you may need to install a cheap UL-Listed “Retail Grade” C O alarm also. Then install one or more C O – Experts Low Level C O Monitors to provide the vital protection that you need from Chronic Low Level C O Poisoning.                                                                                               

You may notice that the Instructions in this Manual are quite different from those on the retail grade C O alarms. Because C O – Experts provide very early warning, it warns you long BEFORE you need to call 911 for a trip to the hospital.                                                                               

WARNING: C O Monitors / Alarms ARE NOT UL-Listed Smoke, Fire, or other GAS Detectors, and you do need to obtain additional products designed for your Protection from these Hazards. Your New Model 2010 Low Level C O “Health” Monitor WILL provide a very good, fast responding additional detector in the case of a slow smoldering type fire in your home or building.                                                     

This Low-Level C O Monitor is designed to detect Very Low Levels of Carbon Monoxide from ANY SOURCE but can do so ONLY after the C O enters the sensor; therefore, it may NOT detect low-levels of Carbon Monoxide found in other areas of the property. You may want to purchase additional Low-Level Monitors for other areas of your home where you spend a lot of TIME. This Monitor is NOT designed to meet any present marine, aircraft, or other established C O Standard except those of G. E. Kerr Companies, Inc. and C O – Experts Model 2010.                                                               

1. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:                                                                                            

The power supply for the CO – Experts Low-Level Monitor is either a 9 volt Lithium battery, [5 year warranty], or a 9 volt DURACELL MN1604, [ one year warranty].

Battery Installation and Replacement:                                                                         

Open the battery compartment, [door], located at the bottom of the front side of your Monitor, and properly install the new battery, firmly pressing the connector the proper terminals of the battery connectors. Replace the connected battery inside the battery compartment with the connectors facing left, as you look at the Monitor directly from the front.                                                    

Snap the battery cover, [ door], closed. If you are concerned about a child or other person removing the battery for some other purpose, be sure to install the small screw provided to help deter such battery removal.                                                                                               

WARNING !!! ….. NEVER use a rechargeable battery.                                                                     

Mounting Instructions:                                                                             

After selecting the “Proper Mounting Location” as recommended in Sections 6 & 7, to “Wall Mount” your Monitor, you should put the mounting screw through the eyelet at the top-center of the Monitor and screw it into the wall at about “eye-level”, or slightly higher. If you like to have the “Option” of easily removing your Monitor from its normal location on your wall to enable you to carry it easily from room to room to AID YOU in locating the actual SOURCE of your LOW levels of C O, you can use a small finishing nail, installed at a wall stud location, at a slight angle to assure the Monitor will remain securely hanging on the wall when not being removed for portable use.                                                                   

Next, push, [depress], the “TEST / HUSH / RESET” button to test your Monitor is functioning properly.      

You will hear three cycles of four beeps each and the Display will automatically go through the “Data Recall” sequence.                                                                                   

If your Monitor does not display  “Err” and the Green LED flashes once a minute, … you are now being protected by your Low-Level C O Monitor.                                                                                      

2. Where to install your C O Monitor:                                                      

The C O – Experts Low-Level Monitor can be installed in any indoor, “Lived In” area, where it can be both heard and seen visually on a regular basis. The Monitor should never be installed where either the display or the audible alarm will be obstructed in any manner.                                                                      

The First Priority in every home is to protect you as you sleep; therefore, if you can truly afford to purchase only one C O Monitor, you MUST install it in your bedroom area. If more than one bedroom is being used to sleep in, and they are located off of the same hallway, you should install your Monitor located so that it is within 15 feet of each bedroom doorway. It can be Installed on any INSIDE WALL, mounted “Head High’, or slightly higher; however, be sure all adult and older children can easily reach the “Test / Hush / Reset” button, and can easily and clearly see the Monitor’s display window.                

Additional Low-Level Monitors should be installed in other areas of your home where you spend a lot of time, or in other areas where there are possible sources of C O being produced or expelled into the living areas; however, when doing so, follow the Instructions in Sections #6 and #7 very closely.            

3. Where NOT to install your C O MONITOR:                                                                 

Outdoors, or in ANY unheated area where temperatures may drop below 32°F, or above 180°F, for more than a 24 hours period.                                                                                   

NEVER install behind drapes or curtains.                                                                     

NEVER install within 5 feet of vents, flues, or chimneys.                                                     

NEVER install within 5 feet of any combustion appliance, such as ovens, ranges, stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, water heaters, etc.  [ Exception: I personally DO install one, if possible, on a wall near all unvented gas heaters or fireplaces; as well as “Pellet Burning Stoves.]                                                   

NEVER install  Within 3 feet of corners or solid barriers, or any other areas where the free circulation of air may be impeded or prevented.                                                                                                      

NEVER install in any place where the Monitor may be physically damaged or exposed to water, rain or other liquids.                                                                                                                          

4. MAINTENANCE: Clean Your Alarm frequently.                                                        

At least once a month you should clean your Monitor by using a vacuum cleaner hose, [soft bristle brush], by vacuuming around the openings on the Monitor.                                                                       

The outside of the Monitor can be wiped with a damp cloth twice a year immediately following the monthly use of your vacuum. [Do not use Strong Cleaners or excessive amounts of water, use a damp cloth only.]. After Cleaning, repeat the “Test” procedure described in section on initial Monitor installation / mounting.

CARBON MONOXIDE SYMPTOMS                                                                          

Any mix of the following symptoms may be due to C O exposure, especially if chronic, or if it is noticed by more than one person in the home or workplace at the same time:                                                       

Headache, Fatigue, Nausea, Vomiting, Confusion, Memory Loss, Heart/Chest Pain, Rapid Heart Beat, Rapid Breathing, Shortness of Breath, Changes in Vision, Hearing, Touch, Taste, or Smell.              

LOW-LEVEL C O MONITORS ARE VITALLY / ESPECIALLY NEEDED IN THE HOMES OF ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:                                                                                                   

Pregnant Women, Infants, Young Children, the Elderly, and people with Chronic Medical Conditions such as Asthma, Bronchitis, Emphysema, Heart Disease or Anemia.                                                                  

This Low - Level C O Monitor will Display Levels of C O well below 30 PPM, [Standard C O Alarms DO NOT], this will help Prevent Exposure to Potentially Dangerous Levels of Carbon Monoxide.          

DIGITAL DISPLAY DATA RECALL FEATURES:                                                                

Prior to activating the Monitor’s Data Recall function, the display will be constantly displaying the Current level of C O present if it is 7 PPM or more.                                             

After pushing the "Test / Hush / Reset" button, the display window will display “Acc”, to acknowledge your request for the stored data,  the Display will then show "HI", followed by the Highest CO in PPM recorded since the last time the Data Storage was “Cleared” or the battery was disconnected.                   

Display then displays "OCCUr", followed by the elapsed time in days, hours & minutes since the  peak reading exposure occurred. Display then displays "dur", followed again by the Duration of the period of time that the elevated levels of C O existed in the sensor, in days, hours & minutes. Monitor then displays "COHb" followed by the % of Carboxyhemoglobin that would have accumulated in the blood stream of the average person had they been exposed to the same level of C O for the same period of time. Display then returns to display the level of CO present in the sensor if it is 7 PPM or more. If C O Present is under 7 PPM, the Display will show "000" PPM.                                                                       

C O is almost ALWAYS picked up by Monitors while being transported, from both the UPS Trucks and especially from the Propane Forklifts being used in the terminals. Therefore, there may be C O accumulated inside the housing and in the sensor when it is initially removed from its individual box that will cause an alarm within a minute or so of initially installing the battery. Before installing any Monitor, the “Stored Data” should be electronically cleared.                            

To CLEAR / ERASE all stored data, you simply depress the Test / Hush / Clear button, and continue to hold it depressed until the Green L.E.D. illuminates with a continuous, [not blinking],  green light. Release the button, and the Monitor will immediately sound a long single beep, and the LCD will display “Clr”, indicating that all previously stored data has now been erased.

When the "Hush" is employed, the audible alarm is silenced for the designated period of time: however, the visual display continues to show the current level of C O present. IF, after any "Hush", the C O levels present continue to rise to the next higher level, the Monitor will automatically OVER-Ride the "Hush" and reactivate the audible alarm at the higher, faster, level                                                 

To activate / employ the “Hush” feature, as soon as the Monitor’s audible alarm warning cycle competes the third of its 3 beeping cycles, simply touch / push the test / hush / reset button and the  Display window will show “Acc”, to acknowledge your request the “Hush” to be employed. The Monitor will then show “SIL”, to indicate that AFTER the regular three cycle beeping, [which follows every push of the “Test” button], is completed, your Monitor will be SILENT for the specified period of time, unless the C O present rises to the next higher level of warning. Removal of the battery will immediately cancel the “Hush” feature.
