PSA LIFCO9 - Manual (Page 10)

Recommended Installation Locations
CO alarms should be mounted in or
near bedrooms and living areas. It is
recommended that you install a PSA
CO alarm on each level of your home.
When choosing your installation
locations, make sure you can hear the
alarm from all sleeping areas. If you
install only one CO alarm in your
home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.
• When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no
circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.
• Locate the alarm at least 1 metre from the floor..
Locations To Avoid
IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic
components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide
optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:
• Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose
the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F (4.4°C)
or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces, attics, porches and
garages.
• Do not install within 2 metres of heating or cooking appliances.
(PSA recommends 5 metres to prevent nuisance alarms).
• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air
ventilation openings.
• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly
exposed to the weather.
• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or
gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide
early warning.
• Do not install this unit near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than
optimum performance.
• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the alarm
where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air to the
vents.
