Unsuitable installation locations

In order to avoid false alarms, do not install the smoke alarm device:
• with active smoke detection in rooms in which a lot of steam, dust or
smoke occur under normal conditions (Section 3.2)
• near fireplaces or open fires
• directly on a metal surface
• less than 1 m away from air conditioning units and ventilation shafts, as
the air flow may prevent the smoke and/or heat from reaching the alarm
• at least 50 cm away from electrical ballasts, low voltage transformers,
fluorescent lights and energy saving lights
• in rooms which are higher than 4.5 m
• less than 50 cm away from the roof apex
• only in rooms where the temperature does not fall below -5 °C or rise
above +50 °C
• less than 6 m away from hot-air vents
Attention
Do not mount the smoke alarm device in a vertical position on a wall.
This can cause it to malfunction.
