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).
This characteristic makes it possible to install
the etector anywhere in a room or hallway.
Important: The CO-detector should be located
so that you can hear it when sleepin .
WARNING! The detector does not work
without a power supply. The CO-detector is an
early warnin detector!! Please do not paint over
the detector.
4.2 Locations to avoid
• Within 1.5m of any combustion plant or fire
place that runs on as.
• Locations with hi h concentrations of dust,
dirt or oils/ rease.
• In moisture prone rooms or rooms with hi h
humidity. Install the detector at least 3 m from
bathrooms.
• In very cold or hot locations, where the temper-
ature can drop below -10ºC or rise above 40ºC.
• Humidity of under 30% or over 90% relative
humidity
