HOW TO INSTALL
YOUR CO ALARM

This unit is designed to be mounted on any standard
wiring junction box up to a 4-inch diagonal size, on either
the ceiling or wall. Read “Where to Install CO Alarms”
and “Where Not To Install CO Alarms” before you begin
installation. If a junction box is not already in place, install
one using standard #12 or #14 gauge copper wire.

This Alarm must have AC or battery power to
operate. If the AC power fails, the battery back-up
will power the Alarm for a short time if the 9V bat-
tery is fresh and correctly installed. If AC power
fails, and the battery is dead or missing, the Alarm
cannot operate.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION

Find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this
CO Alarm.

• On each label write in the phone number of your

emergency responder (like 911) and a qualified
appliance technician.

• Place one label near the CO Alarm, and the

other label in the “fresh air” location you plan to
go if the alarm sounds.

NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as
“a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in
person or through a representative, is engaged in and
responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or
replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning
(HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and
equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative
combustion equipment.”
