All fossil fuel burning equipment, such as standby generators, contains carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the engine exhaust. CO gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless and is unlikely to be noticed until a person is overcome. CO gas can kill you so it is required that the following is included as part of the installation:

A CO monitor is an electric device that detects hazardous levels of CO. When there is a buildup of CO, the monitor will alert the occupants by flashing visual indicator light and alarm. Smoke alarms cannot detect CO gas.
