GB The COA-26 is a CO detector, developed especially to detect carbon monoxide in your
living area.
GENERAL:
What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide, designated CO, is also called carbon monoxide. It is a colorless, tasteless,
odorless and poisonous gas. ATTENTION this is CO (carbon monoxide) and not CO2 (carbon
dioxide).
YOU CANNOT SEE, SMELL OR TASTE CARBON MONOXIDE
AND IT CAN BE FATAL.
CO is emitted as part of a hot gas mix and therefore it tends to rise until it cools down. This is in
contrast to CO2, which is heavier than air and drops.
All fuel types can produce carbon monoxide.
Most common CO sources:
The most common carbon monoxide sources are (faulty) gas devices used for:
Heating (Central heating boiler, Geyser, gas heater, portable fuel stoves)
• Cooking
Vehicles running in an adjacent garage
Clogged chimneys, smoke ducts or fireplaces
Fuel-powered tools
The use of open fire in an enclosed space
The COA-26 does not detect any gases other than CO gas.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headaches, nausea,
vomiting, sleepiness and confusion.
Everybody is sensitive to the dangers of carbon monoxide, experts agree however that small
children, pregnant women and their unborn babies, elderly people and persons with heart or
breathing problems have the highest risk of serious or even fatal injuries. Every year an authorized
installer must inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney and smoke ducts.
Important:
This CO detector is not a replacement for smoke, fire or other detectors.
The detector must be installed by a competent person.
This detector cannot protect people with special medical conditions
This detector might not prevent any chronic health effects of carbon monoxide on the body.
This CO detector is not a replacement for the correct installation, use and periodic
maintenance of combustion equipment, nor adequate ventilation of spaces in which these
devices are being used.
We recommend you to weekly test the CO detector using the “TEST/MENU” button on the
CO detector.
This CO detector only sounds the alarm when carbon monoxide is present at its sensor.
Therefore, it’s possible for carbon monoxide to be present elsewhere and the alarm doesn’t
sound.
When the alarm sounds, possible harmful carbon monoxide levels are present!
Carbon monoxide can be deadly!

concentration
Period of inhaling and symptoms
50PPM The maximum concentration a healthy adult can withstand in 8 hours.
200PPM After 2-3 hours, mild headache, sensations of weakness, dizziness, nausea.
400PPM Within 1-2 hours, ache in forehead; after 3 hours, life-threatening.
800PPM Within 45 mins, dizziness, nausea, convulsions; Loss of consciousness within 2 hours;
Fatal within 2-3 hours.
1600PPM Within 20 mins, headache, dizziness, nausea; Fatal within 1 hour.
3200PPM Within 5-10 mins, headache, dizziness, nausea; Fatal within 25-30 mins.
6400PPM Within 1-2 min, headache, dizziness, nausea; Fatal within 10-15 mins.
12800PPM Fatal within 1-3 min.
Alarm
When the CO detector sounds the alarm, carbon monoxide (CO) might be present
which can be fatal. Therefore, never ignore this alarm.

LED will illuminate, 4 beep tones are emitted
continuously and the display will illuminate. When the carbon monoxide concentration drops below
40PPM, the alarm will stop.
What to do when the alarm sounds:
1. Open doors and windows and immediately do outside into the fresh air. Check whether
everybody has left the building.
2. Call an official installer to inspect the correct functioning and state of maintenance of the
combustion source (gas or oil powered equipment) that could be the cause for the CO
alarm.
3. Only enter the building again after the cause has been resolved and the building has been
well ventilated.
The alarm sound can be switched off by pressing the TEST/MENU button (<150PPM).
If the CO concentration drops, the alarm will eventually stop automatically.
