Operating/Installation Instructions
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 4 inches (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!
