INSTRUCTIONS
Model 3400 Carbon Monoxide Gas Alarm
These instructions include information on the installation,
maintenance, and operation of the carbon monoxide (CO)
alarm that is installed in your boat. It is important to keep these
instructions in a handy location so you can refer to them as
necessary. A properly installed and maintained CO alarm is an
important part of your boat safety plan. Therefore, you and your
family should read this manual thoroughly before operating
your boat.
In the event you have questions regarding the use of this CO
alarm, call (800) 521-5228, Monday through Friday, 8a.m. to
5p.m. Pacific Standard Time. View our other innovative
products on the web at www.ccicontrols.com.
When the alarm sounds on this device and the RED alarm
indicator light flashes, they indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide (CO) which can be FATAL. The alarm will continue
to sound until the carbon monoxide has dissipated or until the
mute button is activated.
4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reacti-
vates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps
1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician.
CAUTION:
This alarm will only indicate the pres-
ence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas at the sensor. CO
gas may be present in other areas of the boat.
What are the symptoms of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning?
CO is an odorless, colorless, invisible, tasteless and non-
irritating gas; in a sense, almost undetectable to your five
senses. In many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, people
report feeling sick and too disoriented to exit the boat or to call
for assistance. Therefore, it is important to know the symp-
toms of exposure to CO that could result in poisoning.
Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, and/or
fatigue (often described as flu-like symptoms).
Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness,
disorientation, confusion and/or a fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure: Unconciousness, convulsions, cardio-
respiratory failure, and death.
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they
become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by
either exiting the boat or calling for assistance. Also, young
children and household pets may be the first affected.
If alarm sounds:
(telephone number)
1) Press the MUTE button.
2) Call your emergency services .
[fire department or 911]
(telephone number)
Have the technician investigate for sources of CO
from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and
inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If
problems are identified during this inspection have
the equipment and appliances serviced immedi-
ately. Note any combustion equipment or appliance
not inspected by the technician and consult the
manufacturer's instructions, or contact the manu-
facturers directly, for more information about CO
safety of this equipment.
The following are symptoms related to CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING and should be discussed with ALL who will
operate, use, or be a passenger on the boat :
MODEL 3400 CARBON MONOXIDE GAS ALARM
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARINE USE
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of
carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.
WARNING!
GETTING STARTED.
Your CO gas detector is operating at all times when it is
connected to its power source. This detector will only
operate when supplied with the stated operating voltage.
This detector is a safety device. It must not be connected in
such a way as to allow it to be switched off by the use of a
switch or similar device, or to become disconnected from its
power supply. When the boat is equipped with an optional
master cutoff switch for storage only, the detector will be
turned off when this switch is turned OFF. This is accept-
able as the boat is not to be used with the optional master
cutoff switch in the off position.
3) Immediately move to fresh air outside or by
an open door or window. Do a head count to
check that all persons are accounted for. Do
not re-enter the premises or move away from the
open door or window until the emergency service
personnel have arrived, the premises have been
aired out, and your alarm returns to its normal
condition.

Where does carbon monoxide come from?
Carbon Monoxide gas is a by-product of the incomplete
burning process of any fuel, including, but not limited to,
gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil, charcoal or wood. All
appliances that burn fuel including cooking stoves, lamps,
space heaters, furnaces, hot water heaters, and engines from
boat, boat generators, cars and trucks produce CO.
When appliances are in good working condition with proper
combustion and ventilation, lethal carbon monoxide gas is
vented outdoors where it quickly disperses. However, a safety
hazard can occur when an appliance malfunctions and
produces CO that is not fully vented. CO polluted air inside a
boat can quickly build to lethal levels.
As a safety precaution, keep fuel-burning appliances and
vents in good working condition with annual inspections and
regular maintenance. Learn the early symptoms of CO
exposure and regularly test and maintain your CO alarm to
ensure it is in good working order. If you suspect CO
poisoning, move outside to fresh air and seek emergency help.
Testing your CO alarm.
It is important to test your CO alarm regularly.
TEST ALARM OPERATION AFTER BOAT HAS
BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH OUTING,
AND AT LEAST ONCE PER WEEK DURING
USE.
To test the electronics of the CO alarm, press and release the
test button. The alarm should sound a beep four times and the
RED alarm indicator light will flash four times. In addition, the
indicator lights are also tested. The GREEN power indicator
light will turn off and the ORANGE fault / low voltage indicator
light will illuminate temporarily. If the CO alarm does not
respond in this manner, then refer to the troubleshooting
section.
Operating Instructions.
The CO alarm will only detect CO gas if the proper power is
supplied. Once power is supplied (or re-supplied) to the alarm,
it will perform a brief warm-up and self-check process before
beginning to monitor for carbon monoxide gas.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sen-
sor.

Carbon monoxide gas may be present in
other areas.
CO Alarm Indicator Lights and Conditions.
Power. Once 12 volts DC power is supplied, the GREEN
power indicator will turn on indicating the alarm is ready to
detect CO gas.
Alarm Condition. When CO gas is present in alarm
concentrations, an alarm will sound and the RED alarm
indicator light will flash. The detector will continue to alarm
until the CO gas has dissipated or until the MUTE button is
momentarily pressed. If the MUTE button is pressed during
an alarm condition, the alarm will stop sounding and the RED
alarm indicator light will also stop flashing. If CO gas is still
present in alarm concentrations, the alarm will resume within
a few minutes depending on the concentration.
Fault / Low Voltage. In addition to sounding an alarm when
CO gas reaches a specific concentration at the gas sensor,
the CO alarm also performs two other valuable functions:
1) An automatic self diagnostic system check (called
supervision) on the alarm's electronics to ensure reliable,
trouble-free operation.
2) Acts as a low voltage indicator for the battery that supplies
voltage to the alarm.
Fault Condition. In the event the CO alarm senses a fault in
its electronics, the ORANGE fault indicator light will illumi-
nate continuously (not flashing) and then sound a beep once
every five seconds. The GREEN power indicator will then turn
off, indicating that the alarm is no longer monitoring for CO
gas. If such action should occur, call CCI Controls for
assistance during normal business hours.(8AM to 5PM PST)
Low Voltage Condition. This CO alarm has been designed
to operate from a 12 volt DC power source. Without the
correct voltage, the CO alarm may not detect carbon mon-
oxide at the gas sensor. In the event that the CO alarm senses
that a
