Installation
Do not install this alarm to a switch- or dimmer-controlled outlet if pos-
sible.
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 4.4°C
(40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F). These areas include uncondi-
tioned crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages. Extreme tempera-
tures will affect the sensitivity of the alarm.
Do not install this unit near deep cell large batteries. Large batteries
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than opti-
mum performance.
Avoid the following:
• Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances
caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:
1) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind.
Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods
between cycles).
2) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust
fans.
3) Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances com-
peting for limited internal air.
4) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from a clothes drier, fur-
nace or water heater.
5) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can
amplify the above situations.
• Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven,
fireplace, etc.).
• Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust gasses near the
ground.
• Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
