Operating Instructions
The density of carbon monoxide is close to that of
air (0.96716) at a room temperature of 20ºC.
It disperses in the air easily, like perfume, evenly in
all directions. However, carbon dioxide is heavier
than air at 0ºC (density of 1.250).
It is therefore possible to mount the detector onto
the wall at a height of 1 m – 1.5 m in any room or
hallway.
Important: The CO-detector should be located
so that you can hear it when sleeping.
WARNING! The detector does not work
without a power supply. The CO-detector is an
early warning detector!! Please do not paint over
the detector.
4.2 Environments that are not suitable for installa-
tion include areas
• Within 1.5m of any combustion plant or fire
place that runs on gas.
• Locations with high concentrations of dust,
dirt or oils/grease.
• In moisture prone rooms or rooms with high
humidity. Install the detector at least 3m from
bathrooms.
• In very cold or hot locations, where the temper-
ature can drop below -10ºC or rise above 40ºC.
