Where in the room should I place the detector?
Apparatus located in the same room as a fuel-burning appliance
If the apparatus is located on a wall:
a) it should be located close to the ceiling;
b) it should be located at a height greater than the height of any door or window.
And it should be at least 150mm from the ceiling.
The apparatus should be at a horizontal distance of between 1m and 3m from the potential
source.
If there is a partition in a room, the apparatus 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.
Apparatus located in sleeping rooms and in rooms remote from a fuel burning appliance
Apparatus 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.
