Such systems shall operate automatically upon detection of a concentration of carbon monoxide of 25 parts per million (ppm) or nitrogen dioxide of 500 parts per billion (ppb).


404.2 Minimum Ventilation


Automatic operation of the system shall not reduce the ventilation airflow rate below 0.05 cfm per square foot of the floor area and the system shall be capable of producing a ventilation airflow rate of 0.75 cfm per square foot of floor area.
