General
Guidance
POSITIONING
USEFUL INFORMATION
REMEMBER - The overriding instruction is to ALWAYS
follow the manufacturers guidance.
Place the alarm in the room of potential origin of CO
Place it high in the room
(Above the tops of windows and doors)
but no closer than 150mm from the ceiling.
If the alarm is in another room and NOT the room of origin it should
be placed within the breathing zone of occupants in the room.
Be particularly aware of the elderly, disabled and children; and their limitations.
TEST THE ALARM BEFORE LEAVING THE PREMISES
CARBON MONOXIDE IS HOT WHEN IT IS RELEASED SO IT WILL BE CARRIED
UPWARDS TO THE TOP OF THE ROOM OF ORIGIN FROM WHERE IT WILL
COOL AND FALL TO ALL PARTS OF THE PREMISES.
The position of the alarm should be where it can detect CO
as soon as possible to alert and protect the occupants of the premises.
(Do not place closer than 1m from the source appliance)
Make sure it can be heard by the occupants when in all
parts of the premises including behind closed doors.
PLEASE NOTE: IF EITHER OR BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS CANNOT BE MET,
ADDITIONAL ALARMS SHOULD BE FITTED THROUGHOUT THE PREMISES
