normal mode.
Determine the CO source and take remediate action
immediately (depending on the cause, for instance, by
having the device repaired or the chimney cleaned by a
specialist).

Selection of an appropriate Installation Site

For achieving an optimum safety, install respectively
one CO detector in each bedroom, in all rooms
equipped with gas heating, stove/oven or fireplace as
well as in the hallway on every floor. If you decide to
only install one device, choose an appropriate installa-
tion position such that a possible alarm can be heard in
all bedrooms!
CO has nearly the same density as air. It does not con-
centrate on the floor but mixes evenly with the air in the
room. Therefore install the CO detector as central as
possible on a free, unobstructed area (e.g. in the middle
of the ceiling). In rooms with a potential source of haz-
ard, install the CO detector in their proximity (at a dis-
tance of approx. 2 – 3 m).
The device can also be wall-mounted (approx. at eye
level). This type of mounting facilitates the maintenance
(cleaning/battery exchange) and enables an easy read-
ing of the control units (LEDs, display). However, make
sure that the distance to the ceiling and the corners of
the room is sufficient (20 cm at least). In any case, the
openings of the housing must always remain free and
