Page 4: Mobile Home Installation
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above (refer to RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS and figures 1 and 2). In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. -
Page 5: Installation Instructions
• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitch- en alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type. • Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms. • Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. - Page 6 on the wall. Be sure the “UP FOR WALL MOUNTING “ text and arrow are facing up. Use the screws and anchors provided to secure the mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit for anchor holes). 4.

Page 10: Good Safety Habits
• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of pos- sible fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photo- electric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. -
Page 11: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire occurs. • Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to leave your home when they hear it. • Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills at night. -
