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 reach-
ing 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 4 inch-
es (10cm) and a maximum of 12 inches (30.5cm) 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!
