Carbon Monoxide Detector False Alarms
Table of Contents
It is important to IMMEDIATELY address any sensor trouble conditions when they occur. A low battery, loss of supervision, or abnormal sensor behavior can cause false alarms.
Troubleshooting False Alarms
Make sure the Carbon Monoxide Detector was purchased through Cove and is not a pre-existing Carbon Monoxide Detector.
Make sure the CO Detector was not installed in any of the following places:
- Directly above a sink
- Directly above a stove or within 5 feet of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts, like an extractor fan or air vent
- Where airflow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where the sensor could be knocked, damaged, or accidentally removed
- Replace the batteries (2 Alkaline AAA).
