CO DETECTOR PLACEMENT
The carbon monoxide detector was developed to detect toxic CO gasses which
are emitted from incomplete combustion in e.g. appliances, heaters, fireplaces
and exhaust fumes. A single storey house should at a minimum be protected by
one detector inside each bedroom or in the hallway to the bedrooms.
Install the detectors as close as possible to the sleeping area and verify the alarm
is audible. A multi-storey house should at a minimum be protected by one detector
per storey.

NOTE: For the best possible protection, install one detector inside or near each
room with any type of combustion device, e.g. gas fireplace, central heating
boiler, space heater or water heater, cookers, grills, etc.
ATTENTION: This detector only indicates carbon monoxide present at the sensor.
Carbon monoxide gas may also be present in other areas.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR
SMOKE OR GAS DETECTORS.

Carbon monoxide has a density similar to warm air. For best results, install the
detector at least 1.5 m above the floor and 1.85 m from the respective appliance

- Areas where the temperature may be below -10 °C or above 40 °C.
DC 4.5 V∼ 3 x AA 1.5 V DC, LR6, alkaline
