CHAPTER 2:
Installation
WHERE TO INSTALL
CO ALARMS
The Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) recommends the use of at least one CO
alarm per household, located near the sleeping
area. For added protection, install additional CO
alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every
level of your home.
If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet,
install a CO alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.
In a Single-level Home:
• Install at least one CO alarm near or within
each separate sleeping area.
• For added protection, install an additional
CO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away
from the furnace or fuel burning heat
source.
In a Multi-level Home:
• Install at least one CO alarm near or within
each separate sleeping area.
• For added protection, install at least one
CO alarm on each level of the home. If you
have a basement, install that CO alarm at
the top of the basement stairs.
• For added protection, install an additional
CO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away
from the furnace or fuel burning heat
source.
WARNING!
This alarm must have AC or battery power
to operate. If the AC power fails, the battery
back-up will power the alarm if the 9V battery
is fresh and correctly installed. If AC power
fails, and the battery is dead or missing, the
alarm cannot operate.
