Occupants have probably ventilated the structure prior to your arrival. The structure might have a C O leak that is not detected by initial monitoring. A small leak not detected initially, may take several days to build up to harmful levels again.
The C O-Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor provides 24 hour carbon monoxide (C O) monitoring with audible/visual alarms.
If C O does build up, the CO-Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor will alert occupants to evacuate.
The C O-Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor is equipped with visual, and/or audible and visual Warnings at 10, 25, 35,50 and 70 PPM.
The C O-Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor is accurate to 1 PPM.
The C O-Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor has important data storage information that can be used to help evaluate when, how much, duration of exposure, and the resulting COHb in the blood stream as a result of said exposure to the C O that is (was) being produced.
When to Install the C O–Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor:
When
residents will continue to occupy structure
When
there is any possibility the residents could be exposed to C O
At the technician's discretion. Safety First, ..... ALWAYS ! ! !

The C O–Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor’s normal Operation:
C O–Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor Maintenance:
Replace battery EVERY YEAR, or anytime the Display shows “bAT” and is Beeping once a minute.
Once
a week perform a test by pressing the “Test/ Hush” button and
checking to see if the light buzzer, and "Recall /

Hush Button Cycles:
10 PPM … No Audible Alarm, Visual Warning only
25 PPM… up to 60 Minutes
35 PPM... up to 60 Minutes
50 PPM… up to 60 Minutes
70
PPM… up to 4 Minutes
If
at any point, C O Levels continue to rise to the next level, the
monitor will OVER-RIDE the
“Hush” and Re-Alarm at the higher level warning.
Digital Display Data Recall Features:
Prior to Recall, Display will show the Current C O Reading from 10 PPM & Up.
After pushing “Recall / Test” Button, Display will show “Cur” followed by the Current CO Present if 10 PPM or Higher.
Display
then Shows “HI”, followed by the Highest CO in PPM recorded
since the last time the Data Storage was Cleared.
Display then Shows “OCCUr”, followed by the Elapsed Time in Hours & Minutes since Peak Reading Exposure Occurred.
Display then Shows “dur”, followed by the Duration of Time in Days, Hours & Minutes that the CO Exposure stayed within 10% of the “High” Reading.
Display
then Shows “COHb” followed by the % of Carboxyhemoglobin
that would have accumulated in the Blood Stream of the
Average Person.
Display then returns to Display the level of CO Present in the Monitor if 10 PPM or more. If C O Present is under 10 PPM, the Display will be Blank.
TO
CLEAR the STORED DATA, simply HOLD the TEST BUTTON
DOWN until you hear the Second Series of “Beeps”, 6
seconds or more [until you see "Occur" on the Display Screen], when the
Recall Sequence
is Completed, the Monitor will sound a Long single

Exposure
Symptoms:
Mild:
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (flu like symptoms)
Medium:
Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, disorientation, confusion,
rapid heart rate
Extreme:
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death
The unborn, young children, elderly, and household pets may be the first affected. Occupants may be so disoriented they are unable to self rescue themselves by exiting the building or calling for help.
A fetus is Effected 4 Times as much by Low Level C O as the Mother.
Repeated recent studies have indicated that during the Third Trimester, the Fetus can be Adversely Affected by as little as 10 to 15 parts per million of Carbon Monoxide.
Further instruction can
be obtained by referring to the owner’s manual or by contacting

C
O is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and highly toxic gas. In
extremely high concentrations it can kill very quickly. Since it is
impossible for human senses to detect CO, installing an Accurate,
Reliable Low Level C O "Health" Monitor in your
home is the most reliable way to ensure that you and ALL of YOUR FAMILY
are not inadvertently exposed to this deadly gas.
Therefore, for your Safety this “C O - Experts Low Level Carbon Monoxide "Health" Monitor Model 2004” is being loaned to you and / or family by __________________ for a period to be determined by __________________. The detector remains the property of _______________________. The Monitor will be installed by our technician and will be retrieved in the appropriate time frame. This Monitor is not designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gases, only carbon monoxide. We STRONGLY encourage you to purchase your own C O Monitors if you have any sources that may generate Carbon Monoxide. [Please refer to our list of Carbon Monoxide producing items found in, or around, your Home or Building.] If you would like to purchase your own C O - Experts Low Level C O "Health" Monitor to Protect ALL of your Family, we would be Happy to Install one or more of them for you.
WHAT
TO DO IF THE MONITOR ALARMS
The
Monitor alarm is indicated by a flashing RED L.E.D. light and loud
repetitive beeps.
1) Immediately check the PPM Reading on the Digital Display. If it is indicating 25 PPM or more, open your doors & windows and see if the C O Level reduces after 10 minutes. If it does NOT, call your HVAC Contractor, leave windows open, and observe Monitor Readings CLOSELY. If the C O PPM Displayed continues to Rise to 50 PPM, EXIT Immediately, and DO NOT RETURN until you are assured by Professionals that it is SAFE for you to return.
2)
Do a head count to determine that you have accounted for all
persons and pets.
3)
Call 911 for Medical help if anyone is feeling Ill, or are
displaying any C O Symptoms.
4) Do not re-enter Home / Building until you are advised that it is SAFE to do so by Professionals.
