Placement Information

Alarms should be placed in accordance with the general guidelines shown in the diagram above. These recommendations are based on the problem of areas of “dead air” close to corners of rooms and apexes of ceilings, which could result in the prevention of smoke reaching the smoke detector

Important Precaution:

Do not install the actual smoke/heat alarm itself in new or renovated buildings until all work is completed (including floor coverings) and the building has been fully cleaned. The wiring can be installed when appropriate. (Excessive dust and debris from building work can contaminate the smoke chamber and cause problems, and it will also invalidate the guarantee). If it must be installed, cover it completely, particularly around the edges, with a dust cover (eg. a plastic bag), until all cleaning is finished.. Connect wires to the unit as in wiring diagram. All wiring must comply with local codes.
