INSTALLATION
Planning
Area of coverage
Consider the coverage required and function of the area. Emphasis should be placed on airflow patterns
and correct placement, not perceived detecting ranges. The target gas will only be identified when
contact is made with the sensing element itself.
Your monitor should be installed in populated areas that risk high concentrations of CO
2
gas or varied
temperatures e.g. educational and government buildings including laboratories and commercial kitchens.
Areas to avoid
Avoid conditions of any other environmental factors that could potentially impede the accuracy and
operation of the detectors such as; condensation; vibration; extreme temperatures, pressure, presence of
other gases, electromagnetic interference and draft zones.
Take in to account the design of the air flow within the zone area. Avoid conditions such as; condensation;
vibration; extreme temperatures and draft zones.
Multiple monitors may be required to adequately protect property and/or persons!
Typical Positioning
Avoid positioning near draft areas (windows and door entrances).
Where possible, monitors must be fixed in such a position as to allow natural air circulation.
Laboratories/educational buildings: Seated head height
Commercial kitchens: 1700mm (5.6ft) from ground level
These recommended heights may vary based on air flow and temperature conditions in addition to the
proposed application and location.
