Locate your device
Potential sources of carbon monoxide are: wood-burning stoves, gas boilers and
fires, gas hobs, oil and coal burning appliances, portable gas heaters,
barbecues etc.
Where to install an apparatus?
-
Ideally: in every room containing a fuel-burning appliance and additional apparatuses:
- In every bedroom
- In every room where much time is spent and the alarm sound from other apparatuses may not be heard
-
If the number of available apparatuses is limited, then choose for the room where:
- A flueless or open-flued appliance is located
- Where you spend the most time
-
In case of bedsit (single room serving as both sitting room and bedroom): locate the apparatus as far as possible from the cooking appliances and near the sleeping area.
-
In rooms with a fuel-burning appliance:
-
Between 1-3 m distance away from the potential source
-
If there is a partion in the room: at the same side of the partion as the potential source
On the wall: -
Close to the ceiling, but at least 150 mm from the ceiling
-
Higher than the height of any door/window
-
-
In rooms without a fuel-burning appliance (such as sleeping rooms/hall ways:
- Relatively close to the breathing zones of occupants
Where not to install an apparatus
In an enclosed space (in a cupboard/behind a curtain). Where it can obstructed
(by for example furniture). Directly above a sink. Next to door/window. Next
to an extractor fan. Next to an air vent / similar ventilation openings. In
areas where temperature get <-10 / >40 degrees. In areas where dirt/dust may
block the sensor. In a damp/ humid location. In the immediate vicinity of
cooking appliance. On a location where light indicator may not be visible
anymore
Mount the alarm
- Drill two holes in the wall of 5 mm and insert the plastic plugs.
- Insert the screws until they are about 5 mm from the wall
- Place the unit over the screws

of doubt, take the necessary action! To mute the alarm, press the test button.
The alarm will pause for 5 minutes while the alarm indicator keeps flashing.
All connected devices will be muted too. The alarm will return to alarm mode
if the concentration CO is still >45 ppm.
What to do if carbon monoxide is detected?
If the carbon monoxide detector gives alarm, please take the following
actions:
- Keep calm and open all doors and windows. Stop using fuel-burning appliances and turn them off;
- If the alarm continues, evacuate the building. Leave all doors and windows open, and do not enter before the alarm has stopped;

LR6
The effects of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, non-irritating gas which is classified as a chemical asphyxiant, whose toxic action is a direct result of the hypoxia produced by a given exposure. Health effects on healthy adults:
- 100-200 PPM: Slight headache, weakness, potential burden on foetus
- 200-300 PPM: Severe headache, nausea, impairment in limb movements
- 300-400 PPM Severe headache, irritability, confusion, impairment in visual acuity, nausea, muscular weakness, dizziness, weakness
- 400-500 PPM Convulsions and unconsciousness
- 600-700 PPM Coma, collapse, death
