Installation
To minimise nuisance alarms avoid these locations:
• Do not install within 0.9m of the following: The door to a
kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or shower,
forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling
or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air-flow
areas.
• Areas where curtains or other objects will block the
sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the sensor to
accurately detect conditions.
• Keep out of insect infested areas.
• Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder
than -10°C or hotter than 65°C.
• Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is
greater than 93%.
• Avoid dead air spaces. "Dead Air" at the top may prevent
smoke from reaching the alarm in time to provide early
warning. Refer to Figure 2A and 2B.
N.B. - 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.
