1.3 Recommended installaon locaons:
placement and installaon of your CO alarm.
■Place out of the reach of children. Under no circumstance
should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.
■ Install in a bedroom or hallway located close to the
sleeping area. Take special care to verify the alarm can be
heard in sleeping areas.
■ It is recommended that a CO alarm be installed on each
level of a multilevel home.
■ Locate 1~3 meter (3.3~10feet) away from all fuel burning
appliances.
■ Placing at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the
red and green indicator lights.
■ Insure that all vents of the unit are unobstructed.
■ Do not install in dead air spaces such as peaks of vaulted
ceilings, or gabled roofs.
■ Do not install in turbulent air from ceiling fans.
■ Do not place near fresh air vents or close to doors and
windows that open to the outside.
■Keep the CO alarm away from excessively dusty, dirty, or
greasy areas such as kitchens, garages and furnace rooms.
Dust, grease and household chemicals can affect the sensor.
■ Keep out of damp and humid areas such as the bath room.
Avoid spraying aerosols near the CO alarm.
■ Do not install in areas where the temperature is below-10
℃ or hotter than 40℃.
■ Do not place behind curtains or furniture. CO must be able to
reach the sensor for the unit to accurately detect CO.
Caravans & Boats
Caravans & boats have additional risks due to the presence of
other vehicles, engines, generators or barbecues, however this
does not change the basic guidance on locating the alarm.
Caravans & boats should have an alarm in the same room as any
fuel-burning appliance, located in accordance with advice above.
If the caravan has a single living space, one alarm is sufficient.
However, any sleeping accommodation which is in a separate
room from the fuel-burning appliance should also contain an
alarm.
The two most important considerations when positioning your
alarm are:
■ Not to place the alarm directly above a source of heat or
steam.
■ Positioning the alarm at a distance of 1-3 m from the
nearest edge of the potential source.
