PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The design and layout of domestic premises and the number, type and position of carbon
monoxide sources vary widely. However, general guidance is given below on where and where
not to locate the alarm in order to minimise the risk of misleading indications.
Which room?
Ideally, an alarm should be installed in every room containing a fuel burning appliance.
Additional alarms may be installed to ensure that adequate warning is given for occupants in
other rooms, by locating alarms.
Where in the room?
It should be possible to view all the light indicators on the alarm when in the vicinity of the
chosen location for the alarm. It is not possible to give specific guidance on the exact location
of an alarm which suits all types of room and their usage. The following points should be taken
into consideration when determining an optimum location for any appropriate situation:
Where not to install the alarm
The alarm
SHOULD NOT
be installed:
• in an enclosed space (i.e. in a cupboard or behind a curtain)
• where it can be obstructed (for example by furniture, books or ornaments)
• directly above a sink
• next to a door or window
• next to an extractor fan
• next to an air vent or other similar ventilation openings
• in an area where the temperature may drop below -10°C or exceed 40°C,
• where dirt and dust may block the sensor
• in a damp or humid location
• in the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance
An alarm located in the same room as a fuel-burning appliance:
• If the alarm is located on a wall, it should be located close to the ceiling and at a height
greater than the height of any door or window.
• A ceiling mounted alarm should be at least 300mm from any wall, and for a wall mounted
alarm it should be at least 150mm from the ceiling.
• The alarm should be at a horizontal distance of between 1m and 3m from the potential
source. If there is a partition in a room, the alarm should be located on the same side of the
partition as the potential source.
• Carbon Monoxide alarms in rooms with sloped ceilings should be located at the high side of
the room.
An alarm located in sleeping rooms and in rooms remote from a fuel burning
appliance:
An alarm that is located in sleeping rooms and in rooms remote from the fuel-burning appliance
should be located relatively close to the breathing zone of the occupants. (The breathing zone
should be regarded as the horizontal level in the room where a person’s head spends most of
the time, i.e. while sitting in a chair or lying on a pillow.
Pay particular attention to the normal location of the elderly and disabled when reaching a decision.
Particular attention should be given to sleeping accommodation. Carbon Monoxide is particularly
hazardous to a person while asleep as it will not wake them. If they wake and have been
subjected to carbon monoxide, they may be too disorientated to know what is wrong with
them and what to do next. A Carbon Monoxide alarm at the bed head will help to avoid this
situation.
WARNING:
Do not operate this alarm in areas with temperatures less than -10°C or greater
than +40°C; or in humidity less than 30% RH or more than 90% RH.
The ecoey battery operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm is ideal for the home and
travelling on holiday. It’s compact size takes up little room in the baggage but gives
you invaluable protection from faulty heating and cooking appliances wherever
you are.
Three LEDs on the front of the alarm indicate Alarm (red) when the alarm has
detected harmful levels of CO; Power (green) flashes once every 30 seconds when
the alarm is operating; and Fault (yellow) indicates a fault in the alarm. All three
LEDs operate with different sound patterns as shown in Table 1.
If the alarm sounds a repeating series of 4 beeps, (see Table 1) evacuate the
property immediately. If it is not possible for all occupants to exit the property for
any reason, call for help, open all doors and windows to ventilate it and move to
fresh air.
If it is safe to do so, turn off all appliances, shut off the gas supply tap.
If possible, get the affected person(s) outside. Do not silence the alarm or re-enter
the property until the source of Carbon Monoxide (CO) has been found and dealt
with by registered service personnel.
The alarm will reset itself if the CO dissipates naturally.
WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS
IN THE CASE OF SUSPECTED CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
POISONING, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
