MOUNTING THE DETECTOR:

First, determine the best location for the detector, one that provides

proper carbon monoxide detection (see Figure 4 for suggested detec-

tion locations) and a strong wireless transmission path.

Proper Carbon Monoxide Detection Location:

On a wall location, the detector should be at least as high as a light

switch, and at least six inches from the ceiling. In a ceiling location, the

detector should be at least 12 inches from any wall.

Where to install, ideally:

• Within 10 feet of all sleeping areas

• Inside the bedroom if it contains a fuel burning appliance

• On every ﬂ oor of the building

• Ideally, install in any room that contains a fuel burning appliance

• If the appliance in the room is not normally used, such as the boiler

room, the detector should be placed just outside the room so the

alarm can be heard more easily

Where NOT to install, ideally:

• Detectors operate best if not installed within 5 feet of any cooking

appliance Outside

• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven Next to a door or win-

dow that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan or air vent

• Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the

detector’s environmental speciﬁ cations

• In or below a cupboard

• Where air ﬂ ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
