INSTALLATION
WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm
s
hould be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the
i
mmediate vicinity of the bedrooms. 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 (12 meters), install a CO Alarm
a
t 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.
I
n 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.
In a Mobile Home:
• Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY. Uninsulated outside walls and
roofs of mobile homes often transfer heat and cold from outdoors.
WHERE CO ALARMS SHOULD NOT BE
INSTALLED
DO NOT locate this CO Alarm:
• In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty or
greasy areas.
• Closer than 20 feet (6 meters) from a furnace or other fuel burning heat
source, or fuel burning appliances like a water heater.
• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.
• In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters)
from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry
room, utility room or other source of high humidity.
• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚ F
(38˚ C). These ar
eas include unconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished
attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.
•
In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fr
esh air
returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the
sensors.
• In direct sunlight.
• This CO Alarm is designed for use inside a single-family home or
apartment. It is not meant to be used in common lobbies, hallways,
or basements of multi-family buildings unless working CO Alar
ms
are also installed in each family living unit. CO Alarms in common
ar
eas may not be hear
d from inside individual family living units.
•
This CO Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete
detection systems in places which house many people, like hotels
or dormitories, unless a CO Alarm is also placed in each unit.
• DO NOT use this CO Alarm in warehouses, industrial or commercial
buildings, special-purpose non-r
esidential buildings, R
Vs, boats,
or airplanes. This CO Alarm is specifically designed for residential
use, and may not pr
ovide adequate protection in non-residential
applications.
