Determining the Number of Transmitters
The number of transmitters required is determined by a unit's operational
surveillance radius. Using the table below, the number of units required
can be easily evaluated.

Recommended Installation Height
The installation heights recommended by Honeywell represent general
guidelines. Always confirm with local laws and regulations before
proceeding, as these take precedence over manufacturer's
recommendations.

Most combustibles are heavier than air, with the exception of
methane, hydrogen, ethylene and acetylene. For gases that are
heavier than air, sensors should be installed approximately 30 cm
(1 ft) from the floor. For combustibles that are lighter that air,
sensors should be installed 30 cm (1 ft) from the ceiling, close to
the potential leak source.
*May differ in certain applications: Hot NO
