IMPORTANT NOTICE A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable, but they may not work under all conditions, and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance.

Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors and CO Detectors The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke and CO alarms. Smoke Detectors Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic. It also moves freely in the air. CO detectors can measure the concentration and sound a loud alarm before a potentially harmful BEDROOM level is reached. The human body is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during sleeping hours; therefore, CO detectors should be BEDROOM BEDROOM located in or as near as possible to sleeping areas of the home.
