3. ALARM POSITIONING
3.1 IDEALLY A CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALARM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN:
- Every room containing a fuel burning appliance
- Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time
- Every bedroom
However if the number of CO Alarms is limited, the following points should be considered when deciding
where best to fit the alarm(s)
- If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, place a CO Alarm in this room
- Locate a CO Alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-flued appliance
- Locate a CO Alarm in a room where the occupant(s) spend most of their time (e.g. living room)
- In a bedsit, the CO Alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking appliance as possible, but
near to where the occupant sleeps
- If the appliance is in a room not normally used (such as a boiler room) the CO Alarm should be placed
just outside the room so that the alarm will be heard more easily
3.2 UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS
Do not place the CO Alarm in any of the following areas
- In a position, where access to the screwdriver slot to release the CO alarm from its mounting plate,
is blocked by an object such as a wall, a fixed item of furniture or skirting board, as this would make
removal or replacement of the CO alarm impossible without damaging it. See Figure 4 for screwdriver
slot location on the CO alarm.
