Macurco™ Carbon Monoxide Detector
CM-E1
For use with alarm control panels
Carbon Monoxide Detection
The CM-E1 is a low voltage detector of Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CM–E1 is designed for connection to UL
Listed Fire Alarm/Burglary Control Panels. Alarm control panels that work on 12 or 24 VDC can provide battery
backup to the CM-E1 detectors. This carbon monoxide detector is designed to detect CO gas from ANY source
of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas.

Installation
With the CM-E1 faceplate mounted on the enclosure's rear-housing the unit can be surface mounted on a wall.
A thin mid-plate enclosure component is also supplied with the CM-E1 to mount the CM-E1 on a 2 x 4
inch (5.08cm x 10.16 cm) switch box - single-gang or "handy", provided by the installer.
Location
There are two usual sources of CO - defective heat sources (furnaces or wood burning stoves) and automobiles
running in adjoining garages. The CM-E1 can detect CO from these sources, as well as any other sources of CO.
For best operation, mount a CM-E1 in the hallway near each bedroom or office area. In addition, another CM-E1
may be mounted just inside the door from the adjoining garage. Consider placing another detector in a bedroom
or office that is adjacent to a furnace room. The detector may be installed on either a ceiling or a wall. If installed
on a peaked, gabled, or sloped ceiling, it should be located about 3 feet (1 meter) from the highest point. The unit
can be placed vertically or horizontally on a wall, so the information on the front of the CM-E1 can be read in a
normal manner (not upside down). Do NOT mount the CM-E1 in a corner. Use the same spacing as for smoke
detectors-- 30 foot (9 meters) centers, 900 sq. feet (83 sq. meters) per detector.
