4. What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas which can barely be
perceived by the human senses. It is generated during the incomplete oxidation
of substances containing carbon, such as wood, charcoal, fuel oil, petrol or gas.
Carbon monoxide kills or harms hundreds of people every year. It binds the
haemoglobin in the blood and reduces the amount of oxygen in the body. In high
concentrations, carbon monoxide can poison a person within minutes.
5. Trigger sensitivity
If the device records increased CO values, an alarm signal sounds and the red LED
starts blinking. At the same time the current CO value is displayed on the display
of the device.
