Installation recommendations and selection of installation location
installation
The smoke alarm device should be installed in every room (with the exception of the bathroom and kitchen) and in
every other area of the home. This ensures that people in the apartment can hear the alarm and react to it. For
minimal protection, you should install a smoke alarm in the hallway between the living and sleeping areas. Install the
device as close as possible to living areas and ensure that the alarm can be heard in the bedrooms.
Recommendation for a typical one-story apartment
Install a smoke alarm on the ceiling of each bedroom and in the hallway in front of each separate sleeping area. If the
hallway of a bedroom area is more than nine feet long, install a smoke alarm at each end. If there is a basement:
Install a smoke alarm device on the basement ceiling at the lower end of the stairwell.
Recommendation for a typical multi-storey residential building
Install a smoke alarm on the ceiling of each bedroom and in the hallway in front of each separate sleeping area. If the
hallway of a bedroom area is more than nine feet long, install a smoke alarm at each end. Install a smoke alarm at the
top of a stairwell from the first to the second floor.
Do not install smoke alarms in the following locations
1. In the vicinity of devices or areas where normal burns occur regularly (kitchens, near stoves, water heaters), use
special smoke alarms for these areas.
2. In areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, or near dishwashers or washing machines. Install the smoke alarm
device at least 3 m away from these areas.
3. Near exhaust air or heating and cooling valves. Set up at least three feet from these areas. In these places, the air
could blow away the smoke and thus prevent a smoke alarm device from being triggered.
4. In rooms in which the temperatures can fall below 0 ℃ or rise above 40 ℃, or in rooms with a humidity of more
than 93%. These conditions shorten the life of the battery or cause a false alarm.
5. In extremely dusty, dirty or insect-infested areas, particles can interfere with the operation of the smoke alarm
device.
Where is the best installation location?
- First you need to install a smoke alarm in the bedroom and in the hallway. If there are several bedrooms
You need to install an alarm in every bedroom.
- Install it in the stairwell and on each floor.
- Smoke, heat and burning objects spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling,
so install the smoke alarm in the middle of the ceiling of a house that has a normal structure.
- If for some reason the alarm cannot be installed in the center of the ceiling, the clearance should be
be more than 50 cm to the ceiling corner. (See picture 1).
- If the length of the room or the corridor is more than 9 m, you will need several smoke alarm devices in the corridor
to install.
- Smoke alarm devices in rooms with a horizontal ceiling slope of more than 1 m at a height of 8 m are on the
to install high side of the room. Install a smoke alarm on a sloping, pointed or cathedral-like ceiling, keeping a
distance of 50 cm and 150 cm from the highest point of the ceiling. (See picture 2).
