Alarm located in the same room as a combustion device
When CO escapes from a combustion point, the heat initially rises. This is why
you should install alarms as high as possible on a free wall in rooms with
combustion devices, while considering the following points:
·
The alarm should be assembled on a free wall, at least 200 mm below
the ceiling.
·
Install the alarm at a height at which you can reach it without tools and at
which you can see all alarm displays. (Between chest and head)
·
The alarm should be at a horizontal distance of 1 to 3 m from the
possible source of carbon monoxide.
·
If the room is divided, the alarm should be on the same side of the
division as the possible source of carbon monoxide.
·
In rooms with slanted ceilings, the carbon monoxide alarms should be
installed at the higher side of the room.
