To protect yourself, family and guests, you should:
INSTALL THE ALARM PROPERLY. Carefully read and follow
ALL the instructions in this manual. Test your unit every week. Alarms
that do not work will not alert you to hazardous levels of CO and need to
be replaced.. See the section, Test Procedure, in this manual for further
information.
MAKE REGULAR VISUAL INSPECTIONS. Check all fuel burning
equipment including gas water-heaters, kitchen gas stoves, space heaters,
gas dryers and all pilot lights. Check the color of the pilot flame. The
color should be blue.
MAKE REGULAR VISUAL INSPECTIONS OF THE ENGINE
AND GENERATOR EXHAUST SYSTEMS. Cracked exhaust systems
can allow CO to enter the living area.
PROFESSIONALLY
MAINTAIN
GENERATOR. Although gas engines and generators produce CO, a
poorly tuned engine and generator will produce greater amounts CO.
WHERE TO INSTALL
MTI recommends installing a gas alarm in each sleeping area.
The
NFPA
and
Consumer
recommends installing a CO alarm outside the sleeping area. The
65 Series CO alarm complies with that recommendation.
INSTALL ALARM at least 4 inches off the floor.
WHERE NOT TO INSTALL 65 SERIES ALARMS
DO NOT INSTALL behind furniture, drapes, in closets or areas that
will block air flow to the alarm.

exterior doors, heating or return vents, or other drafty areas..
DO NOT INSTALL on an outside wall.
DO NOT INSTALL on a wall switch controlled by a power line,
ground fault circuit or to a circuit breaker.
NOTE: Older RVs may have little or no insulation and therefore are
draftier. Carefully consider mounting locations. The following diagrams
