mounts onto a wiring base.
This Carbon Monoxide alarm can be interlinked with the smoke and
heat alarms, 1163 and 1165 respectively.
All products must be installed by a competent person in accordance BS
7671, the latest edition of the IET Wiring Regulations.
The instructions contain important information on operation and
maintenance of the Carbon Monoxide alarm. Keep this document in a
safe place for future reference.
Where to Locate
Ideally, Carbon Monoxide alarms should be installed in every room
containing a fuel burning appliance and as per BS 5839-6, Code of Practice
for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire
detection and fire alarm systems in domestic premises.
Additionally, alarms may be installed to ensure that adequate warning is
given for occupants in other rooms, by locating alarms:
•
In remote room in which occupants spend considerable time whilst
awake.
•
Near every sleeping room or area.
•
In each room containing a flueless or open-fueled appliance.
•
In a garage as vehicles produce carbon monoxide, any time they are
running.
It is recommended that a CO alarm be installed on each level of a
multilevel home.
Diagram 1
Positioning of Alarms
•
CO gas from fueled appliances immediately mixes with the air
around it. Mounting the CO on the ceiling in the centre of the room
places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is
preferred in ordinary residential dwellings.
•
When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of
500mm (20”) from the side wall (See Diagram 2).
500mm
Minimum
Diagram 2
•
In rooms with an A shaped peaked ceiling, a sloped or cathedral
ceiling, install a CO alarm between 500mm and 1500mm from
the highest point of the ceiling. (See Diagram 3).

•
CO alarms should not be installed within 900mm (3’) of the
following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a
tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling,
ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.
•
CO alarms should be mounted at least 1.8m from the fuel burning
appliance.
Do Not Install CO Alarms in the Following Places
•
In the immediate vicinity of a fuel burning appliance.
•
In an enclosed space, such as cupboard or behind a curtain.
•
In an area where the temperature may fall below -10
o
C or rise
above 40
o
C, such as garages and unfinished attics.
•
In excessively humid areas such as bathroom.
•
Next to a door, a window or an extractor fan.
•
In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to
alarm.
•
Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance
alarms.
Important:
These alarms are primarily intended for use in single
family occupancy private dwellings. In multifamily
buildings, each individual living unit should have its
own alarms. Do not install in non-residential
buildings.
