Location and positioning

 

The installation of this CO alarm should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, 

use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and 

exhaust systems. 

Ideally a CO alarm should be installed in every bedroom, in every room containing a fuel 

burning appliance and in remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of 

time. However, if the number of CO alarms to be fitted is limited, the following points should 

be considered when deciding where best to fit the alarm(s):

  If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, place a CO alarm in this room.

  Locate a CO alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-flued appliance.

  Locate a CO alarm in a room where the occupant(s) spend most of their time.

  In a bedsit, the CO alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking appliance as possi-

ble, but near to where the person sleeps.

  If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler room, the CO alarm should 

be placed just outside the room so that the alarm will be heard more easily.

Unsuitable Locations

Do not place the CO alarm in any of the following areas:

 

Outside the building.

 

In the immediate vicinity of a cooking 

appliance (keep it at least 1 m horizon-

tally from it).

 

In an enclosed space (e.g. in or below a 

cupboard).

 

In a damp or humid area.

 

Next to a door, window, air vent or 

anywhere that it would be affected by 

draughts.

 

Where it would be obstructed, e.g. by 

curtains or furniture.

 

Directly above a sink or cooker.

 

Over heat sources such as radiators or 

hot air vents.

 

In an area where the temperature could 

drop below -10°C or rise above 40°C.

 

In a bathroom or other areas where 

the CO alarm may be exposed to water 

splashes, dripping or condensation (e.g. 

above an electric kettle).

 

Next to an extractor fan.

 

Where dirt or dust could block the 

sensor.

 

Near paint, thinners, solvent fumes or air 

fresheners.

 

Where it could be easily knocked or 

damaged, or where it could be acciden-

tally turned off or removed.

A room with a fuel burning appliance, see Figure 1

  If it is mounted on a wall, it should be located at a height greater than the height of any door 

or window but still be at least 150 mm from the ceiling.

  If it is mounted on the ceiling it should be at least 300 mm from any wall or light fitting.

  The CO alarm should be a horizontal distance of between 1 m and 3 m from the potential CO 

source.

  If there is a partition in the room, the CO alarm should be located on the same side of  

the partition as the potential source.

  In rooms with sloped ceilings, the CO alarm should be located at the high side of the room, 

see 

Figure 2

.

A bedroom or a room remote from a fuel burning appliance, see Figure 3

Mount the CO alarm relatively close to the breathing zone of the occupants. Whatever position you 

choose, make sure it is possible to view the three LED indicators, when in the vicinity of the alarm.

 

Do not use the CO alarm on an intermittent basis, or as a portable detector for the leak-

age of combustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys.
