Abstract
A carbon monoxide detector safety system comprising: a carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device; at least one door-opener receiver; and an onboard receiver connected to a wiring assembly of a vehicle; wherein said carbon monoxide detector safety system is useful to help prevent poisoning caused by carbon-monoxide accumulating within an enclosed space such as a garage. The carbon monoxide detector safety system acting in the capacity of an active carbon monoxide alarm system.
Claims1
A carbon monoxide detector safety system comprising:
- a carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device;
- at least one door-opener receiver;
- and
- an onboard receiver connected to a wiring assembly of a vehicle;
- wherein said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device is connected to an AC power source and a DC backup battery;
- wherein said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device senses an amount of carbon-monoxide present in an enclosed area and measures said amount of carbon-monoxide present in PPM;
- wherein said door-opener receiver, said onboard receiver and said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device are in communication forming an active carbon monoxide alarm system;
- wherein said door-opener receiver, said onboard receiver and said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device are in remote wireless said communication with each other forming said active carbon monoxide alarm system;
- wherein said active carbon monoxide alarm system uses radio frequency to provide said communication;
- wherein said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device transmits a signal to said door-opener receiver and said onboard receiver when said amount of carbon-monoxide present in PPM within said enclosed area reaches a pre-determined threshold;
- wherein said signal activates said door-opener receiver to open at least one garage door and deactivates said vehicle such that said vehicle is no longer producing said carbon-monoxide and open said garage door(s) allows said carbon-monoxide to be diluted and dispersed;
- wherein said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device uses electrochemical cell technology providing a highly accurate and linear output related to a measured concentration of said carbon monoxide;
- wherein said electrochemical cell technology is designed to produce a current that is precisely related to said PPA of said carbon monoxide as sensed;
- wherein said active carbon monoxide alarm system comprises an audible alarm;
- wherein said audible alarm comprises an intermittent beeping sound;
- wherein said intermittent beeping sound comprises a higher frequency as measured said PPM of said carbon monoxide increases;
- wherein said active carbon monoxide alarm system comprises a visual alert;
- wherein said visual alert comprises a light;
- wherein said visual alert comprises a digital readout recording a present level and a peak level of said carbon-monoxide recorded over a set time period;
- wherein said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device further comprises a test button;
- wherein said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device is to be tested at pre-set intervals using an external source of calibrated test gas to verify said carbon-monoxide sensing and transmitting device is in a working condition;
- wherein said onboard receiver is able to activate power windows to open said power windows on said vehicle;
- and
- wherein said onboard receiver is able to control an ignition control circuit on said vehicle.
