In an area where the temperature may fall below -10 º C or rise above 45 º C such as garages and unfinished
attics.

In insect-infested areas.
Within 300 mm of a light fitting, as electronic "noise" generated by the electronics may cause nuisance
alarms.

impeded by items such as newspapers, table-cloths, furniture, curtains, etc.
Do not install next to a door, window, extractor fan, flue, chimney, or any other area where high air flow
may occur or the unit may be directly exposed to weather.
