What should I do if the carbon monoxide detection sensor is triggered?
Dear residents of Talgar district! Local executive bodies of the region carried out work on the installation of carbon monoxide detection sensors in private residential buildings of socially vulnerable segments of the population. In the houses where these sensors were installed, cases of sensor activation due to battery discharge have become more frequent. in such cases, it is necessary to remove the installed sensor and replace the battery with a new one. Replacement of the battery must be carried out without fail, as this is necessary to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning of residents of these houses.
How to distinguish the sensor from the battery discharge, when the battery is discharged, the sensor emits a signal intermittently, that is, there is a sound, then a pause, a sound, a pause. And when the sensor is triggered from the determination of carbon monoxide, there is a continuous signal. in such cases, residents of houses where sensors were installed, in case of sensor failure, it is necessary to inform the fire service and call 101/112, immediately open all windows to ventilate the room, put warm clothes on all family members, leave the room and wait for the fire service staff.
