Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic. Carbon monoxide gas moves
freely in the air. Suggested locations are in or as near as possible to sleeping areas of the home.
The human body is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during sleeping hours. For maxi-
mum protection, a CO alarm should be located outside primary sleeping areas or on each level
of your home. Figure 5 indicates the suggested locations in the home. The electronic sensor
detects carbon monoxide, measures the concentration and sounds a loud alarm before a
potentially harmful level is reached.
Do NOT place the CO alarm in the following areas:
• Where the temperature may drop below -10°C or
exceed 40°C
• Near paint thinner fumes
• Within 5 feet (1.5 meter) of open flame appliances
such as furnaces, stoves and fireplaces
• In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or
chimneys
• In close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this
will damage the detector
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE CO DETECTOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATING IN-
STRUCTION SHEET FOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION.
