Recommended Placement

Installing Smoke Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one smoke alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation. If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

Additionally, the detector has a convenient end-of-life signal, alerting users when it’s time to replace the unit itself, ensuring that safety is never compromised.

Another important technology integrated into the SC1000BN is its smart chip technology. This enables the detector to accurately differentiate between various potential threats, reducing false alarms and providing peace of mind to users. The device is also equipped with a loud 85-decibel alarm that ensures occupants are promptly alerted in case of an emergency.

Installation of the SC1000BN is straightforward, with a low-profile design that blends seamlessly into any environment.

Furthermore, the detector meets the strictest safety standards, including certification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), ensuring reliability and efficacy.

In addition to its primary functions, the SC1000BN also features a test/silence button that allows users to check the functionality of the unit or silence false alarms without removing the battery.
