Areas Not Appropriate for CO alarms
Kitchens. Do not install within 5 feet
(1.5m) of kitchen appliances. The by-
products of cooking food can effect the
performance of the CO alarm.
Garages. Do not install in garages.
Exhaust gases from idling vehicles in an
open or closed garage can trigger the CO
alarm.
Attics. Do not install in attics. A CO
alarm can be affected by dust, small
insects or high and low temperatures.
Do not install the alarm in areas where
the normal ambient temperature can go
below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 100°F (38°C)
Utility and Furnace Rooms. Do not
install close to equipment that can create
steam and gas. Steam and exhaust gases
can affect performance of CO alarms. CO

Each alarm will also act as a repeating
station, so any signal received by an alarm
will be rebroadcast.
After final installation, test all alarms
for proper wireless inter-connection.
Simply press and release the test
button of an alarm while having a

be achieved by installing a combination of smoke, CO and heat alarms in
their appropriate locations in every room of the house.
The Exigent proprietary wireless network
