Recommended Installation Locations

The following suggestions are intended to help you to position
and install your alarm.
1. For best protection heat alarms should be installed as part of
TWO Storey Dwelling
a complete fire protection system that also includes smoke
alarms. Heat alarms are best suited to areas such as boiler
rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and garages where dust,
fumes and moisture can cause nuisance alarms in smoke
detectors. Heat alarms should not be installed in escape
routes instead of smoke alarms. They should only be used
in the above applications and where possible be interlinked
to smoke alarms. (Smoke alarms should be installed in
circulation areas forming part of escape routes and in every
room in the home). The advice here follows the guidance
in British Standard BS 5839 part 6 in general (for further
information see the BS standard itself ).

2. When heat alarms are installed in a room, they should be
placed on the ceiling, ideally in the centre of the room.
They should be at a distance no greater than 5.3m from the
farthest wall no greater than 5.3m from a door to any room
in which a fire might start and no greater than 5.3m from

the next heat alarm NOTE: Heat alarms should not be wall
mounted.
3. Closed doors and other obstructions will interfere with
the path of heat to an alarm and may prevent occupants
from hearing an alarm on the other side of a closed door.
Install sufficient alarms to compensate for closed doors and

obstacles.
4. For further help and information on types and location of
fire defection alarms refer to BS5839 pt 6 and the Fire Safety
guidance given by the Department of Transport, Local
LIVING ROOM HALL
Government and the Regions (DTLR).
CAUTION: Research indicates that substantial increases in
warning time can be obtained with each properly installed
additional alarm, It is strongly recommended that the advice in
1 above be followed to ensure maximum protection.
