• Ensure easy access for maintenance and testing.
• Avoid locations immediately downstream from humidifiers, filters, or sharp bends in the ductwork.

4.2 Shigar da Mai Ganowa

1. Turn off all power to the HVAC system and the detector's power supply.
2. Drill appropriate holes in the ductwork for the detector housing and air sampling tubes according to the provided template (if applicable).
3. Secure the detector housing to the duct using the supplied mounting hardware. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
4. Install the air sampling tubes. The inlet tube should extend across the duct to sample the entire airflow, and the exhaust tube should be shorter.
