LOW
LEVEL CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS FOR SALE
LOW
LEVEL CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS let
you know if there is a CO problem before reaching dangerous,
even deadly CO levels. This is long before your other detectors
even begin to work.
• Why do
I need a low-level monitor?
The Ambassador Carbon
Monoxide low-level detector senses CO levels as low as 5 ppm
(parts per million). Infants, children, and elderly persons
with respiratory or heart ailments are provided little or
no protection from deadly CO with the older model standard
alarms. Did you know that low-level CO above 10 ppm causes
illness? (The low-level detector is actually the NCI detector
that is only sold by NCI to distributors. Ambassador is a
distributor of these gauges.)
• What about
the other "detectors" sold at retailers?
Store-bought detectors
do not go off until the home reaches unsafe levels of 70 ppm
or higher. At that high level, it may be too late. Many of
the plug-in detectors do not always allow for proper placement
and may not work during power outages. Our detector is battery
operated.
• Why are
these units more expensive?
Low-level CO detection
requires more high tech parts. The Ambassador low level carbon
monoxide detector uses the same technology and sensors as
the $500 to $2,500 combustion analyzers use.
• How many
detectors should I have in my home?
You should have one
monitor installed on every level of your home. Single story
homes should have one detector on each end of the home
• Children
at Risk
Babies and little
children are especially vulnerable because they have a lower
body mass and so are prone to absorb proportionately more
of any poisonous substance. The symptoms of low-level carbon
monoxide poisoning include headache, nausea, dizziness and
lethargy but will get more dangerous as the CO levels builds
up in the person’s body. Many of these can be confused
with a cold by any health professional or attentive adult.
In addition, as every parent or doctor will know, even getting
this much information about how a baby or toddler is feeling
can be very difficult because they cannot speak to you. These
problems in diagnosing carbon monoxide poisoning as soon as
possible make a low-level carbon monoxide detector particularly
valuable in identifying the presence of this gas, especially
in a child’s sleeping area.
• Where should
I place the Ambassador carbon monoxide detector?
CO is lighter than
the air we breathe. In other words, CO will rise. Monitors
should be mounted at breathing level and no lower. They should
be placed in an area with good air circulation. If you have
only one monitor, it should be placed near the master bedroom.
We also recommended one in the basement, one in the mechanical
room and one in any room that has a combustion appliance.
1. What should I
do if my carbon monoxide detector goes off?
FOR LOCAL CLEVELAND
PEOPLE:
Call your Ambassador CO Certified combustion analysis at any
levels below 70 ppm, unless you have symptoms. Carbon Monoxide
exposure can cause nausea, severe headaches, shortness of
breath, chest pain, blurred vision, and dizziness. If you
experience these symptoms, call 911 and leave the house immediately.
The home should be evacuated if carbon monoxide levels reach
70ppm. DO NOT CALL 911 FROM
YOUR HOME. GO TO THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR’S HOME. Call
your utility provider to turn off the appliance until you
can have it evaluated or serviced.
FOR THE REST
OF THE WORLD:
Get out of you home. Call the fire department, 911, police
station, or other local certified authority.
