The best mounting location for your smoke detector
First you need to mount a smoke detector in the bedroom or on the escape route. If there are multiple bedrooms,
install a smoke detector in each room.
• Install a smoke detector in the stairwell or on each floor.
• In a fire, smoke rises and the temperature rises from burning objects. It is best to mount smoke detectors in the
middle of the ceiling so that people throughout the room can hear the alarm when it goes off.
• If the smoke detector cannot be mounted in the middle of the ceiling, the smoke detector should be installed at
least 10 cm away from the corner of the wall.
• If the smoke detector is mounted on a wall, the mounting point must be 10 cm below the ceiling (see figure 3).
• If the length of the room or hallway is more than 10 meters, install several smoke detectors.
• If the roof or the ceiling is crooked, the smoke detector must be installed at a distance of 10 cm from the roof
ridge (see figure 4).
