what if the area is under a concrete patio next to concrete wall would the CO dissipate or get into the foundation and leave CO to set off our monitor

you only need to run the car for 30 mins to kill the moles so there should not be enough to set off a Co monitor above a concrete floor and if your on a patio there would be enough fresh air that it would not effect you

The placement of LP gas detector should be low close to the floor. It does not matter the location of the CO detector see the following abstract from the National Institute of Health http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21536403

One site I looked at, investigating whether to put up combination CO/Photoelectric or separate units, suggested that ceiling mounting can be defeated by a buildup of (presumably warm/hot) air, preventing a CO detector from timely detection of CO. The author suggested wall mount at least 2-ft below the ceiling, or even at eye level, of the CO detector, as it would monitor any CO-laden air passing it on its way up. I plan to have ceiling-mounted smoke detectors (ionization and photoelectric) on each floor with wall-mounted CO detectors appropriately nearby.

Not really. But I was just thinking about this last night. I am going to test mounting TWO magnets, about six inches apart. One will be next to the wireless unit when the window is closed. The other will be next to the wireless unit when the window is cracked for ventilation. I will buy another window sensor from Fortress and just use the wireless part as a backup in case I have a sensor go bad. PS The only caveat, of course, is the alarm has to be turned off when you are moving the windows since the wireless unit will transmit when you leave the first magnet before arriving at the second.

I just wanted to add - I use mine in a 24 x 24 shop without any ventilation. I use a carbon monoxide detector on the wall, and it has never registered a reading, even after running this unit for four or five hours. By way of comparison, if I start up my wife's van in the same garage, the same carbon monoxide will register a reading in about thirty seconds and the alarm will go off in a matter of a couple minutes.

No. For me to decrease the area being monitored I have it facing my home instead of away from it. Try that if feasible for you. Mine is on a tree facing the front of my house.

There is some guidance in the user guide (should be available from grizzly website). Key points would be away from walls to allow for better air movement (so somewhat central) and where it won't be in the way of working. To avoid having a fan blowing on you, I'd suggest having the output point away from common work areas.

Yes they can. butyou do have som obstruction by distnace a concrete walls, w use thm for at purposean it works well forus.

I don't know, but I have it in a mobile outbuilding. I would guess there might be concern about venting since it is not a vented system

Doubtfull, the grill would obstruct and diffuse the light. The light would not be as effective.

Hi, the back of the unit is not finished so you will have to use it against a wall. Thank you so much!

It should. If you have a leak under the concrete the area should be hotter than other areas of the basement floor. I like how this works and is one of the easier ones to use and well worth the money if you have other uses for it. I found a lot of cold spots and air lease in a house I am working on using the instrument.

As long as the ground underneath is reasonably level sure. I had to use patio block to level it out.

Signal is received in-house, it has to go thru concrete block wall to get there.

i have a concrete patio, but it would most likely be fine if you purchase large square cement pieces and make a slab large enough to hold your fire. this what i would have done, if i did not have the cement patio installed. hope this helps! :)

Have not had an issue with this. The unit has fallen several times on concrete patio and has not broken and works well.

They can stand around the edge of a concrete pad(in the dirt), but, not on concrete. There are pins that slide between each panel that would drive downward into the ground. If you did not drive them into the ground, they would probably blow away or fall down.
