Brennenstuhl CO Detector BCN 1221 - Manual (Page 24)

The density of carbon monoxide is close to that of
air (0.96716) at a room temperature of 20ºC.
It disperses in the air easily, like perfume, evenly in
all directions. However, carbon dioxide is heavier
than air at 0ºC (density of 1.250).
This characteristic makes it possible to install
the detector anywhere in a room or hallway.
Important: The CO-detector should be located
so that you can hear it when sleeping.
WARNING! The detector does not work
without a power supply. The CO-detector is an
early warning detector!! Please do not paint over
the detector.
