RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could prevent the smoke, carbon monoxide or gas from reaching the alarm.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum protection, and to prevent unnecessary alarms. Do NOT locate this alarm:

•In garages, kitchens, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Installation in these areas could lead to nuisance alarms, may expose the sensor to substances which could damage or contaminate it, or the alarm may not be heard by people in other areas of the home, especially if they are sleeping.

•In the garage, vehicle exhaust can contain some carbon monoxide. These levels are higher when the engine is first started. Within hours of starting a vehicle and backing it out of the garage, the levels present over time can activate the alarm and become a nuisance.

•In the kitchen, some gas appliances can emit a short burst of CO or gas upon startup. This is normal. If your CO and Gas Alarm is installed too close to these appliances, it may alarm often and become a nuisance.

•Keep alarms at least 20 feet (6m) from the sources or combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater), if possible. In areas where a 20 foot (6m) distance is not possible (in modular, mobile or smaller homes for example), it is recommended the alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source and reduce "unwanted" alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if an alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible. If you must install the alarm near a cooking or heating appliance, install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from appliance.

•Curtains or heavy furniture may prevent CO or gas from reaching the sensor.

•Less than 12 inches (306mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical noise can interfere with the sensor.

•In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3m) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity.

•In very cold or very hot environments or in unheated buildings or outdoor rooms where the temperature can go below or above the operating range of the alarm. Temperature limits for proper operation are 40o to 100oF (4.4o to 37.8oC).

•In turbulent air, such as near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the sensors.

MICN109, MICN109L, MICN102, MICN102L specifications

Universal Security Instruments offers a versatile lineup of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that provide essential safety features for any home or office environment. Among their popular models are the MICN102, MICN109L, MICN109, and MICN102L, each designed with advanced technology to ensure effective monitoring and protection against fire and carbon monoxide threats.

The MICN102 is a dual-sensor alarm, combining both smoke and carbon monoxide detection in a single unit. This compact device features an electrochemical sensor for precise CO detection, as well as an ionization smoke sensor that responds quickly to fast-flaming fires. With a loud alarm of 85 decibels, homeowners can rely on timely notifications in the event of emergencies. The MICN102 is also equipped with a test and silence button, allowing for easy routine checks and the ability to silence false alarms.

The MICN109L is an enhanced model that includes a voice alert feature. This model not only emits a loud alarm but also provides clear spoken alerts, indicating whether smoke or carbon monoxide has been detected, significantly improving user awareness and response times. With its user-friendly design, the MICN109L also has an easy-to-read display that shows the current CO levels, allowing users to stay informed about their indoor air quality.

The MICN109 shares many of the same core features found in the MICN109L, including the dual-sensor technology and 85-decibel alarm, but does not include the voice alert function. This model still offers reliable and efficient monitoring, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking for solid protection without additional features.

Lastly, the MICN102L combines the effective detection capabilities of the MICN102 with voice alerts similar to those in the MICN109L. This model is particularly beneficial for larger households or spaces where quick identification of the type of threat may be crucial. Features such as battery backup ensure continuous protection even during power outages, while the easy-to-install design allows for swift setup.

Across all models, Universal Security Instruments emphasizes user-friendly operation, reliability, and effective detection, providing peace of mind for families and individuals alike. With their modern design and advanced safety features, these units stand out as trusted guardians against fire and carbon monoxide hazards, reflecting Universal Security Instruments’ commitment to quality and safety.
