Where to Install

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.
NOTE:
For added protection, install an additional Snoke/CO Alarm at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source . Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.
In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.
  Where to Install
  

  • Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.
  • In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each . If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.
  •  At the top of first-to-second floor stairs.
  • At the bottom of the basement stairs.
  •  For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and  storage areas, where temperatures normally remain between 40° F and 100° F (4.4° C and 37.8″ C).

Placement on the ceiling or wall
Installing on the ceiling is recommended. Mark where the screws will go using the base as a guide. Make sure it’s at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall. When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.
Placement on a sloped ceiling
If you have a sloped, peaked or cathedral ceiling, Smoke and CO Alarms should be 4 inches to 3 feet (10 cm – 1m} from the highest point.

Where Not to Install

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

•  Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20 feet (6 meters) distance is not possible — in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example — it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible.
  The placement recommendations are intended to keep these alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In direct sunlight.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• n turbulent air, near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO/smoke from reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40° F (4.4°C) or hotter than 100° F (378°C). These areas include non air conditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages .

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to sensing chamber.

•  Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In ‘dead air’ spaces. See below for additional information

What You Need to Know About CO
What is CO?
CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire) . Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.
Symptoms of CO Poisoning
The following symptoms may be related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:
Mild exposure: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often described as “flu”-like symptoms;
Medium Exposure: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting;
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, brain damage, death.
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.
What You Need to Know About CO
MPORTANT
This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO  levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds . However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!
Potential Sources of CO in the Home
Fuel-Burning Appliances: Like portable heater, gas or wood buming fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.
Damaged or Insufficient Venting: Corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.
What You Need to Know About CO
Improper Use of Appliance/Device: Operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch). Transient CO Problems: “Transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances . The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:
   • Wind direction and,‘or velocity, including high, gusty winds . Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold,’ humid air with extended periods between cycles).
   • Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans .
   • Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh oir.
   • Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters .
   • Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations .

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel buming devices {range, oven, fireplace) .

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground .

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home .
   These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home . Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

General Limitations for Smoke/CO Alarms

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use.
It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available for the hearing impaired).
Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals.
Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved — from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If  children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is fecommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.
Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power.
Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries ore missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach the sensors. It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO or smoke reaches the sensors . If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, we recommend you install an alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom  and in the hallway between them.
This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on
another level of the home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not sense smoke or CO in the basement . For this reason, one alarm device may not give adequate early warning.
Recommended minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every bedroom, and on every level of your home. Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters).
However, if the Smoke/CO Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awoke may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired .
The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include  persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance. Though this Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of smoke, Treat life brand. does not warrant or imply in any woy that they will protect lives. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.
This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life. Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts  could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, this Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations . It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches the sensors . It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.
