Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors
NOTICE: Installing functioning CO alarms indoors is the only
way to recognize CO gas. Common smoke alarms do not
detect CO gas and will not alert occupants of its presence.
A CO detector is an electronic device that detects hazardous
levels of CO. When a buildup of CO occurs, the detector will
alert the occupants by sounding an alarm and by flashing a
visual indicator light.
By law many states require a home to have a functioning
carbon monoxide (CO) detector.The installer must speak
with the owner aboutcarbon monoxide (CO) detectors.
Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed and
maintained indoors according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and recommendations. Smoke alarms cannot
detect carbon monoxide gas.
Contact the local building inspection division for any relevant
requirements regarding the use of CO detectors. See
National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA) 72 Code and
Section R315 in the International Residential Code (ICC) for
additional details.
Potential Carbon Monoxide Entry Points
Operation Guidelines:
NOTICE: Operate this product only outdoors and in an area
that will not allow this deadly exhaust gas to collect.
Never operate this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, sheds, under a deck, or other
partially enclosed areas and understand that using fans and
opening doors in these areas may not provide adequate
ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly accumulate in these
forbidden spaces and can remain in the air for several hours
after this product has shut off.
Installation Guidelines:
Follow all instructions and illustrations in this manual when
placing an enclosure.
Always point the generator’s engine exhaust away from
occupied areas. Never expose your neighbors’ homes to the
engine exhaust flowing from your standby generator during
the installation process.
Never place the standby generator in any area where leaves
or debris can accumulate.
Generator exhaust can enter through windows, doors, and
other openings of a structure. Understand that exhaust and
CO can seep into a structure through the smallest openings.
