However I need the plans to show a couple more things as indicated below. Show the CO2 piping on the plans. In a conversation with the architect he believes that the CO2 is piped outside of the kitchen to the drink machines, where the bag in boxes are located.

Per the manual page 7, the central unit must be located outside of the room or area being monitored. Currently the central unit is shown in the same room as the CO2, near the door. The central unit cannot be located in a place where a leak could affect access to the unit. A hold has been placed on the building permit at insulation for a revision to address this information.
