MOUNTING THE 5800COA
First, determine the best location, one that provides proper carbon
monoxide detection (see Figure 4 for suggested detection locations)
and a strong wireless transmission path.
Proper Carbon Monoxide Detection Location
In a wall location, the 5800COA should be at least as high as a light
switch, and at least six inches from the ceiling. In a ceiling location,
it should be at least 30cm from any wall.
Where to install, ideally:
• Within 2 meters of all sleeping areas
• Inside the bedroom if it contains a fuel burning appliance
• On every floor of the building
• Ideally, install in any room that contains a fuel burning appliance
• If the appliance in the room is not normally used, such as the
boiler room, the 5800COA should be placed just outside the room
so the alarm can be heard more easily
Where NOT to install, ideally:
• 5800COA operates best if not installed within 2 meters of any
cooking appliance
• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e.
extractor fan or air vent
• Outdoors
• Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the
environmental specifications on the last page
• In or below a cupboard
• Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
• Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
Good Transmission Path
A GOOD TRANSMISSION PATH MUST BE ESTABLISHED FROM
THE PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION BEFORE
PERMANENTLY INSTALLING THE 5800COA. To check, perform
the test described in the TESTING SIGNAL STRENGTH section.
Prior to mounting the unit to the mounting base, you must “enroll”
its serial number into the system (see the PROGRAMMING section).
Mounting Procedure
Once a suitable location is found, mount the 5800COA as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the
ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw
locations “A” or “B” as required. Use the two screws and anchors
provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow of the
screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the unit inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown
(unit’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting
base tamper release tab), then turn the unit in a clockwise
direction until it clicks into place.
3. Test the 5800COA after completing the installation (as described
in the TESTING THE 5800COA section of this manual) and
refer to the control system’s instructions for additional
information concerning the use of wireless devices.
