Known as the silent killer, Carbon Monoxide is an invisible, odourless and tasteless gas, which all homes should be protected against. Each year, over 50 people die in the UK as a direct result of exposure to Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO). Many more people die through strokes and respiratory illness made worse by inhaling low levels of CO over prolonged periods. Still, more are left with permanent damage and invalidity.

Those most at risk from CO poisoning are the very young, elderly, pregnant mothers or anyone that suffers from respiratory illness. These groups of individuals have a greater dependence on Oxygen. CO prevents the oxygen carrying cells in your blood (Haemoglobin) from taking up oxygen. In effect, this causes suffocation from within. Many people are unaware that Carbon Monoxide (CO) can be present in any home that uses fossil fuel. Any fossil fuel that burns will produce Carbon Monoxide, The main sources of CO in your home are:-

• Natural Gas burning appliances
• Solid fuel heating systems
• Wood burning stoves
• Butane or Propane appliances
• Car exhaust from an attached garage

What are the symptoms of CO poisoning?

Many people experience flu like symptoms such as: Headaches (frontal lobe), dizziness, disorientation, confusion, nausea, vomiting, fever (without a temperature) and excessive sleepiness.

What happens when we are poisoned?

High levels of CO exposure can, and will, kill in minutes. Lower levels are also very dangerous over prolonged periods. People who experience long-term chronic exposure will see their health deteriorate gradually. Loss of memory, aching limbs, general lack of energy and motivation are all common, chronic, symptoms. An unborn child will be more vulnerable than their mother because of their higher demand for oxygen as they grow in the womb. Low levels are very dangerous to a foetus for this reason, although the mother may not be experiencing any symptoms at all!

Now you can 'see' Carbon Monoxide gas in your home with the CO-828 No.1 rated electrochemical technology

At present, electrochemical technology is widely accepted as the most effective means of monitoring CO levels. The advanced patented electrochemical sensor within the CO-828 is the most stable technology currently available.

Digital display constantly monitors CO levels

Unlike many other alarms, the CO-828's digital display gives a constant accurate readout of between 10-999 parts per million (ppm), so you know exactly how much CO is present, at any time.

3 danger levels - low, high & crisis

It is suspected that many thousands of people suffer from low-level CO poisoning without ever knowing the cause. The low-level alarm feature on the CO-828 will highlight for the first time the cause of their ill health, so action can be taken before further damage is done.

Total Recall with Peak level memory

Should the alarm activate whilst your property is empty, the alarm will show it has activated by showing the appropriate alarm level icon on screen until the reset button is pressed. At the press of a button, the CO-828 can also show the highest reading measured over the previous 4 week period.

Certified to BS 7860:1996

Purchase with complete confidence, the CO-828 has been rigorously tested, and the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) has certified its performance is in accordance with the relevant standards.
