Alarm located in the same room as a combustion device
When CO escapes from a combustion point, the heat initially rises. This is why
you should install alarms as high as possible on a free wall in rooms with
combustion devices, while considering the following points:
The alarm should be assembled on a free wall, at least 200 mm below
the ceiling.
Install the alarm at a height at which you can reach it without tools and at
which you can see all alarm displays. (Between chest and head)
The alarm should be at a horizontal distance of 1 to 3 m from the
possible source of carbon monoxide.
If the room is divided, the alarm should be on the same side of the
division as the possible source of carbon monoxide.
In rooms with slanted ceilings, the carbon monoxide alarms should be
installed at the higher side of the room.
