Mobile Homes:

Mobile homes built within the last five to seven years are designed to be energy efficient. Install Smoke/CO alarms as recommended above. (Refer to Recommended Installation Instructions and Diagram A) In mobile homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This may cause a thermal barrier, which can prevent smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such mobile homes install your Smoke/CO Alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10cm (4 inches) and a maximum of 30.5cm (12 inches) below the ceiling. (See Diagram A) If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install your alarm on an inside wall ONLY!

B. Where Not to Install:

Do not install in garages, kitchens, boiler rooms or bathrooms! INSTALL AT LEAST 1.85 METRES AWAY FROM ANY FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
