If there is a fuel-burning appliance in more than one room and

the number of alarms is limited, the following points should be

considered when deciding where best to position the alarm:

•

Locate the alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-

flued appliance, and

•

Locate alarm in a room where the occupant(s) spend most

time.

If the domestic premises are a bedsit (a single room serving as

both sitting and bedroom), then the alarm should be positioned

as far from the cooking appliances as possible but near to

where the person sleeps.

If the appliance is in a room not normally frequented (for

example a boiler room), the alarm should be positioned so that

the alarm may be heard more easily. Alternatively, an

interlinked alarm or a remote alarm siren may be connected to

a type A alarm located in a room(s) containing a fuel-burning

appliance.

Where a fuel-burning appliance has an extended and/or

concealed flue, an alarm should be installed in each room

through which the flue passes.

Room- fuel-burning appliance:

has a similar density to that of ambient air, it will normally be

emitted as part of a warm gas mixture and will therefore tend to

rise until it cools. If the alarm is located on a wall, it should be

located close to the ceiling and at a height greater than the

height of any door or window.

Where an alarm is ceiling mounted, it should be at least 300

mm from any wall, and where an alarm is wall-mounted, it

should be at least 150 mm from the ceiling. The alarm should

be at a horizontal distance of between 1 m and 3 m from the

nearest edge of the potential source.

If there is a partition in a room, the alarm should be located on

the same side of the partition as the potential source. Carbon

monoxide alarms in rooms with sloped ceilings should be

located at the high side of the room.

Sleeping rooms and in rooms remote from a fuel burning

appliance:

Alarms located in sleeping rooms and in rooms

/areas, e.g. hallways, landings, remote from the fuel-burning

appliance should be located relatively close to the breathing

zone of the occupants.

Locations to avoid

Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic

components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the

unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent

unnecessary nuisance alarms:

•

Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that

may expose the sensor to substances that could damage

or contaminate it.

•

Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder

than 0°C or hotter than +40°C such as crawl spaces,

attics, porches, and garages.

•

Do not install within 1.5 m of heating or cooking

appliances. We recommend 4.5 m to prevent nuisance

alarms.

•

Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any

forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

•

Do not install on metal surfaces.

•

Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or

electrical wires.

•

Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas

directly exposed to the weather.

•

Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted

ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the

sensor in time to provide early warning.

•

Do not install near deep-cell large batteries. Large

batteries have emissions that can cause the alarm to

perform at less than optimum performance.

•

Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not

place the alarm where drapes, furniture, or other objects

block the flow of air to the vents.

•

Do not install directly above sink. Do not install in a damp

or humid location or in the immediate vicinity of a cooking

appliance.
