Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very

toxic. Carbon monoxide gas moves freely in the air. Sug-

gested locations are in or as near as possible to sleeping ar-

eas of the home. The human body is most vulnerable to the

effects of CO gas during sleeping hours. For maximum pro-

tection, a CO alarm should be located outside primary

sleeping areas or on each level of your home. Figure 5 indi-

cates the suggested locations in the home. The electronic

sensor detects carbon monoxide, measures the concentra-

tion 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 EMERGENCY INFORMATION.
