INSTALLATION AND OPERTAION
Pleasure Boat and Yacht Installation
Because of the high risk of carbon monoxide injuries due to the nature of boats, we
recommend a carbon monoxide alarm be installed in the “main cabin area” and in “each
sleeping area.” Small craft with an open design may only require one CO Sentinel for
adequate protection. If any two sleeping areas are partitioned, then one CO Sentinel
should be installed in each sleeping area. Larger craft often have aft and forward cabins
with convertible sofas in the salon. These boats will require three CO Sentinel monitors.
Installation should be at eye level height for convenient monitoring and service.
Ordinary thermostat height is adequate.
Ceiling installation is also allowed but care must be taken to avoid the areas listed under
“Where NOT to install your CO Sentinel”.
Where NOT to install your CO Sentinel
DO NOT install a CO Sentinel near a hatch or porthole through which seawater could be
spilled on the device.
DO NOT install in locations where the normal ambient temperature is below 4.4°C (40°F)
or exceeds 37.8°C (100°F).
DO NOT install in locations where temperature, moisture, and/or ultraviolet light affect
the operation.
DO NOT mount within one foot of corners or other ‘dead’ air spaces.
DO NOT locate CO Sentinel within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance or in direct
airflow from air conditioning or heat vents.
DO NOT locate CO Sentinel in close vicinity of curtains, pillows, or other obstructions.
!WARNING!: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, TEST
ALARM OPERATION WHEN NOT IN USE FOR 10 DAYS OR MORE.
