6. Alarm Characteristics
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator
When the alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a loud
alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is a series of ON/OFF beeps as long as
dangerous CO conditions exist. The red Alarm LED will flash the same
pattern and the digital display (where equipped) will indicate CO
concentrations in parts per million (PPM).
