The problem is there isn't a consensus.
Different manufacturers specify different
locations.  I follow Macurco's advice
because that's my favorite brand.  I
understandf their reasoning though, and
I agree with them.  CO mixes readily with
air.  Although it is warmer than air when
it first emerges from the fire, it quickly
mixes, especially if being pushed through
a forced air HVAC system.

If I installed one in a furnace room I'd place
it at ceiling height.  But in or near bedrooms
I would go with the 5 foot height.  YMMV.
