¾ In dead-air spaces, such as peaks of
vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs,
where CO might not reach the
sensor in time to provide early
warning.
¾ Near deep-cell large batteries.
Large batteries have emissions that
can cause the alarm to perform at
less than optimum performance.
¾ Where drapes, furniture, or other
objects block the flow of air to the
vents.
¾ Near ceiling fans, doors, windows,
or areas directly exposed to the
weather.
¾ In areas with a large quantity of
metal or electrical wires.
¾ In areas that obstruct the vents
located on the alarm.
Selecting an improper location can affect
the sensitive electronic components in
your SMCCO02-Z. To avoid damaging the
unit, to provide optimum performance,
and to prevent unnecessary nuisance
alarms, do not install the SMCCO02-Z:
¾ In kitchens, garages, or furnace
rooms that can expose the sensor to
substances that can damage or
contaminate it.
¾ Near vents, flues, chimneys, or any
forced/unforced air ventilation
openings.
¾ Within 5 feet of heating or cooking
appliances. We recommend 15 feet
to prevent nuisance alarms.
¾ In areas where the temperature is
colder than 40°F (4.4°C) or hotter
than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl
spaces, attics, porches, and
garages.
¾ On metal surfaces.
When choosing installation locations, be
sure you can hear the alarm from all
sleeping areas. If you install only one
alarm in your home, install it near bed-
rooms, not in the basement or furnace
room. Place the alarm out of reach of
children. Under no circumstances should
children be allowed to handle the alarm.
Mount the SMCCO02-Z alarms in or near
bedrooms and living areas. We recom-
mend you install an alarm on each level
of your home.
