Co mounting sensor height in car park
Installation location selection: Choose the location closest to potential carbon monoxide sources for installation, such as combustion equipment, vehicle parking areas, etc. Make sure the alarm can accurately detect carbon monoxide levels and sound the alarm early.
Installation height: Generally speaking, the alarm should be installed at a height of about 1.5 meters above the ground to ensure that it can detect carbon monoxide concentrations in the breathing area of people.
Avoid Obstructions: Make sure the alarm is installed in a location that is not blocked by objects, pillars, or other obstructions so that carbon monoxide can flow freely to reach the alarm.
Quantity to install: Determine the number of alarms to install based on the size and layout of the garage. At least one alarm should be installed on each floor or area to ensure complete monitoring.
Installation method: The alarm can be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. The specific choice depends on the structure and design of the garage. Follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for proper installation.
Maintenance and testing: Perform regular maintenance and testing on the alarm to ensure proper operation. This includes replacing the batteries (if applicable), cleaning the alarm housing and sensors, and testing the alarm's alarm sound and functionality.
Safety Signs: Place appropriate safety signs and signage near alarms to remind personnel about carbon monoxide monitoring and safety precautions.
Precautions for installing carbon monoxide concentration detectors
Select an appropriate location: When choosing an installation location, consider areas where carbon monoxide concentrations are likely to be highest, such as vehicle parking areas, near entrances and exits, or around ventilation equipment. Make sure the installation location accurately reflects the carbon monoxide levels inside the garage.
Avoid Obstructions: Make sure the detector is installed in a location that is not blocked by obstructions such as poles, vehicles or other equipment. Blockage may affect the detector's accurate perception of carbon monoxide concentrations.
Installation height: Generally speaking, carbon monoxide detectors should be installed at a height of 1.5 meters to 1.8 meters above the ground so that the detector can accurately sense carbon monoxide concentration in people's breathing areas.
Distance from heat sources: Avoid installing the detector near heat sources, such as combustion equipment, exhaust pipes, etc. Heat sources may interfere with the proper operation of the detector and affect accurate measurements.
Scheduled Maintenance: Perform scheduled maintenance on installed carbon monoxide detectors, including cleaning sensors, replacing batteries (if applicable), and regularly calibrating detectors. This ensures detector accuracy and reliability.
Alarm and response: Link carbon monoxide detectors to your garage’s alarm system and ventilation system. When detectors detect high concentrations of carbon monoxide, they should be able to trigger alarms and initiate appropriate safety measures, such as the operation of ventilation systems.
