INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends installing a CO alarm in or near bedrooms and living areas. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

• On every floor level, including finished attics and basements.
• In every sleeping area and in every bedroom.
• If your bedroom,hallway or large room is more than 40 feet (12m) long,install a CO alarm at each end.
• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway and on the basement ceiling near the entry of the stairs.
• Installing on the ceiling is recommended,but you should locate it at a minimum of 4 inches (10cm) away from the side wall.(See Figure 1)
• When installing the CO alarm on the wall,a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30cm) should be kept below the ceiling.(See Figure 1)
• If you have a sloped,peaked or cathedral ceiling,the CO alarm should be installed within 3feet (90cm) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally.(See Figure 2)

LOCATIONS TO AVOID

For best performance, please avoid installing a CO alarm in these areas:

• In dusty or dirty areas.Dirt and dust can build up and impair performance.
• In areas where the normal ambient temperature is below 40℉(4.4℃) or exceeds 100℉ (37.8℃), such as garages and unfinished attics.
• Near fresh air vents, ceiling fans, or in very drafty areas. Drafts can blow CO away from the unit, preventing it from reaching the sensors.
• Do not install in garages,furnace rooms or bathrooms.Do not locate the alarm within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance.
• Less than 4inches (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.The “Dead air” space may prevent CO from reaching the CO alarm.
• Near fluorescent lights,amateur radios,or other devices that may transmit an RF signal,as electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor.

CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY INFORMATION

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless,odourless,and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled.CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen.

POSSIBLE SOURCES
The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by:
   • i) Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
   • ii) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
   • iii) Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for limited internal air.
   • iV) Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.
   • V) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify the above situations.
2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
3. Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.
4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING
The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and are to be discussed with all members of the household:

1. Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “Flu like” symptoms).
2. Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
3. Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death.
4. Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets are typically the first affected.
