IMPORTANT: WHAT YOUR CO ALARM CAN AND CANNOT
DO
4.1
This unit is designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO) and shutoff an
appliance for safety only.
4.2
This CO alarm is designed for use within a single residential living
unit. It is designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO) entering its
sensing chamber. It does not sense combustible gas (such as natural
gas, propane or (butane), heat, smoke or flames
4.3
This CO alarm may not provide early warning for occupants if it is
placed outside of the house, such as on outside porches.
4.4 When properly located, installed, and maintained, this CO alarm is
designed to provide early warning of developing poisonous CO
conditions at a reasonable cost. This alarm monitors the air, and when it
senses CO, it activates its built-in alarm. It can provide precious time for
you and your family to escape from your residence before CO can
seriously injure or kill. However, such an early warning is possible only if
the alarm is located, installed, and maintained as specified in the Owner's
Manual and the Instruction for the Safety Shutoff Connection.

9RV-SSO
5.1 One of the most important considerations in any CO alarm system is the
location of the alarms. Statistics of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) show that most of the fatal CO occurrences happen at
night while people are sleeping and/or while they are in the garage. Early
warning of CO is best achieved by the correct installation of CO alarms.
5.2 This CO alarm may be mounted on the wall.
WALL LOCATION

Mount the alarm at
least 3 feet (usually 5 –
6 feet) from the floor.
