NOTE: Even though CO alarms may meet the U.L. 2034 listing standard
they are not all equal in sensor quality or performance. Acid based
electrochemical sensors have the highest degree of performance and
accuracy. U.L. 2034 standards do not require alarming to levels less than 30 parts
per million of carbon monoxide; PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
INFORMATION ON EACH PACKAGE WHEN PURCHASING.
THE INSTRUCTIONS INFORM YOU THAT NO ALARM WILL SOUND IF UNDER 70 PPM OF CO.
IF THE CONCENTRATION IN THE AIR IS OVER 70 PPM AND UNDER 150 PPM OF CO THE DEVICE
IS SUPPOSED TO ALARM BETWEEN 50 AND 240 MINUTES.
If the concentration drops below 70 PPM within that period, the time starts over again.
