Step-by-Step Guide

If you are adding new equipment to your alarm system, make sure you have already added the Smoke + CO to your alarm system before you install the piece of equipment.

Common Installation Locations

• Bedroom
• Hallway
• Main Living Spaces

Avoid

Do not install Smoke + CO Detectors in the following areas:

• Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance
• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts
• In or below a cupboard
• Outside the home
• Where airflow would be obstructed by curtain, partition, or furniture
• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the detector
• Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed

Best Practices

• Within 10 feet of sleeping areas and in bedrooms that contain fuel-burning appliances
• If the appliance or room is not normally used, such as a boiler room, the detector should be placed just outside the room so the alarm can be heard.
• Ceiling Mount-place the detector at least 12 inches from any wall (measured from the closest outside edge of the detector). The green area below indicates proper placement.
• Wall Mount- place the detector at least as high as a light switch and at least 6 inches from the ceiling (measured from the closest outside edge of the detector). The green area below indicates proper placement.
