Installation
Do not install this alarm to a switch- or
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F). These areas include uncondi- tioned crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages. Extreme tempera- tures will affect the sensitivity of the alarm.
Do not install this unit near deep cell large batteries. Large batteries have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than opti- mum performance.
Avoid the following:
•Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:
1)Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
2)Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
3)Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances com- peting for limited internal air.
4)Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from a clothes drier, fur- nace or water heater.
5)Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.
•Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
•Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.
•Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
