When istalling the CO alarm detector please note the following:
Mount the device at least 2 to 5 meters in the horizontal distance from all the fuel combustion
equipment.
Do not install in rooms where no air exchange is, e.g. in tops of vaulted ceilings or gable roofs!
The distance to the ceiling should be at least 20 cm, because in corners none or too low air
circulation takes palce and the carbon monoxide can not get there.
Positioning at the top of the eye ensures an optimum monitoring of the control light.
In bedrooms the installation is to be preferred in respiratory height.
Do not install in turbulent air (e.g., ceiling ventilators).
Do not install near ventilation systems, chimneys or exhaust pipes as well as doors and
windows, as this may have a lower carbon monoxide concentration.
Keep the CO alarm detector away from steam and dampt areas such as the the bathroom or
kitchen.
Avoid spraying aerosols near the CO alarm detector. This can block the air slots of the CO
alarm detector.
Do not mount the CO alarm detector in areas where temperatures below -10
℃
or above 40
℃
prevail.
Do not mount the CO alarm detector behind curtains, furniture or other objects. The carbon
monoxide must be able to reach the CO alarm detector unimpeded in order to be able do
detect it reliably.
Make sure that all ventilation openings of the appliance are free.
Note:
If you are unsure about the installation of the CO alarm detector in your rooms, please
consult a specialist!
