If the appliance is in a room not normally
used (for example a boiler room), the
apparatus should be put just outside the
room so that the alarm may be heard
more easily. Alternatively, a remote alarm
siren may be connected to a type A
apparatus located in a room(s) containing
a fuel-burning appliance.
Where in the room should I place the
detector?
Apparatus located in the same room as a
fuel-burning appliance:
For both wall and ceiling mounted apparatus
the following applies:
a The apparatus should be at a horizontal
distance of between 1m and 3m from the
potential source.
b If there is a partition in a room, the
apparatus should be located on the same
side of the partition as the potential
source.
c Carbon Monoxide detectors in rooms with
sloped ceilings should be located at the
high side of the room.
In addition to the above the following must
be observed:
If the apparatus is located on a wall:
a it should be located close to the ceiling;
b it should be located at a height greater
than the height of any door or window;
c it should be at least 150mm from the
ceiling.
If the apparatus is located on the ceiling:
a it should be at least 300mm from any
wall and any ceiling obstruction e.g. light
fittings.
Apparatus located in sleeping rooms and in
rooms remote from a fuel burning appliance:
Apparatus located in sleeping rooms or
located in rooms remote from the fuel-
burning appliance should be located
relatively close to the breathing zone of the
occupants.
Where not to put the detector
The apparatus should not be installed:
•
In an enclosed space (for example in a
cupboard or behind a curtain).
•
Where it can be obstructed (for example
by furniture).
•
Directly above a sink
•
Next to a door or window
•
Next to an extractor fan
•
Next to an air vent or other similar
ventilation openings
•
In an area where the temperature may
drop below -10°C or exceed 40°C
•
Where dirt and dust may block the sensor
•
In a damp or humid location (for example
in a bathroom)
•
In the immediate vicinity of the cooking
appliance
•
In direct sunlight, as this could affect
the accuracy of the temperature display
considerably
•
Within 1m (3 feet) of mobile phones
