NOTE: This alarm must be installed by a competent
person, able to install according to the instructions.
Where in the room should I place the alarm?
Alarms located in the same room as a fuel-burning
appliance should be:
• at a horizontal distance of between 1m & 3m from the
potential source.
• located on the same side of a partition as the potential
source.
• located at the high side of the room, if sloped ceilings
are present.
If on a wall the alarm should be:
• close to the ceiling;
• at a height greater than any door or window;
• at least 150mm from the ceiling.
If the alarm is on the ceiling it should be at least 300mm
from any wall & any ceiling obstruction e.g. light fittings
Additional alarms may be installed to ensure that adequate
warning is given for occupants in other rooms, by locating
alarms in:
• Remote rooms in which the occupant(s) spend
considerable time whilst awake and from which they
may not be able to hear an alarm from apparatus in
another part of the premises, and;
• Every sleeping room.
Alarms located in sleeping rooms and in rooms remote
from a fuel-burning appliance should be located relatively
close to the breathing zone of the occupants.
This CO alarm is suitable to
use in domestic premises
(caravan holiday homes),
Caravans & Boats
Caravans & boats have additional risks due to the
presence of other vehicles, engines, generators or
barbecues, however this does not change the basic
guidance on locating the alarm. Caravans & boats should
have an alarm in the same room as any fuel-burning
appliance, located in accordance with advice above. If the
caravan has a single living space, one alarm is sufficient.
However, any sleeping accommodation which is in a
separate room from the fuel-burning appliance should
also contain an alarm.
The two most important considerations when positioning
your alarm are:
• Not to place the alarm directly above a source of heat
or steam;
• Positioning the alarm at a distance of 1 – 3 m from the
nearest edge of the potential source.
Deactivating your alarm
If you are travelling or storing your alarm, the unit can be
deactivated by refitting the disabling tag into the small
holes on the underside of the alarm. You can check the
product is disabled by pressing the test button.
Store the disabling tag on page 71 of this
manual.
