Instruction Manual: COSTAR® 9SIR, Residential CO Alarm

5.5CEILING LOCATION: Alarm should be mounted as close as possible to the center of a hallway or room. If this is not possible, the edge of the alarm should be at least 4 inches from any wall.

5.6LOCATIONS TO AVOID

Placing units where they will not operate properly causes nuisance alarms. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not place

units:

–Within 5 feet (1.5m) of any cooking appliance or furnace.

–Near an open window or door, because the fresh air entering the opening may delay CO from reaching the alarm.

–In damp or very humid areas or next to bathrooms with showers. Install detectors at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from bathrooms.

–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 4.4° C to 37.8° C (40° F to 100° C).

–Good ventilation is recommended when household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used.

5.7CONDITIONS WHICH CAN RESULT IN TEMPORARY CO SITUATIONS:

5.7.1Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:

i)Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

ii)Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

iii)Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for limited internal air.

iv)Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

v)Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

5.7.2Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.)

5.7.3Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.

5.7.4Car idling in an open or closed area garage, or near a home.
