Installation

This section describes procedures to mount the CO detector in the monitoring
environment and wire the detector to a controller.

Mounting the CO Detector

Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider
the following when you select the mounting site.

•

Select a site where the detector is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make sure
there is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration
procedures.

•

Select a site where the target gas is likely to be found first.

NOTE:

If your application does not require a specific mounting site, mount the detector
at approximately breathing level.

At the monitoring site, install the detector in the bottom conduit hub of a junction box:

CAUTION:

Mount the CO detector with the detector facing down (see Figure 2).
