on every level of the home.

6. Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they
detect smoke or detect combustion particles in the
air, they do not sense heat, flame, or gas.

warning of a developing fire, however, many fires are
fast burning, explosive or intentional. Others are
caused by careless-ness or safety hazards. Smoke may
not reach the smoke alarm quickly enough to ensure

7 Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is
not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or

for insurance. Homeowners and renters should
insure
their lives and property. In addition, it is possible
smoke alarm to fail at any time. For this
for the
reason, you must test the smoke alarm weekly and
replace every 10 years.
Locating and Positioning of Smoke Alarms:
If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum protection you should fit an alarm in the hallway
between the living areas (incl. Kitchens) and sleeping areas. Place it as near to the living areas as
possible and ensure the alarm is audible when the bedrooms are occupied.
If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum protection one alarm should be fitted at the bottom of
the staircase with further alarms fitted on each upstairs landing. This includes basements but
excludes crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
NOTE: For maximum protection, an alarm should be fitted in every room (except kitchen, bathroom and garage).
DO NOT FIT AN ALARM IN THE KITCHEN or BATHROOM, as cooking fumes or steam may trigger the alarm.
DO NOT FIT ALARM IN A GARAGE, as exhaust fumes are likely to set it off.
Ceiling Mounting
As hot smoke rises and spread out, it is advisable to mount on a ceiling in a central position. Avoid areas
where there is no air circulation. E.g., Corners of rooms and keep away from items which may prevent the
free flow of air. Place the unit at least 300mm from any light fitting or decorative object which might
obstruct smoke / heat entering the alarm. Keep at least 300mm away from walls. See Figure 3i.
Wall Mounting
Do not mount tight into corners, place the top edge of your smoke alarm 500mm below the ceiling.
Keep at least 300mm from room corners. See Figure 3i
On a Sloping Ceiling
In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke Alarm 900mm from the highest point measured
horizontally because "dead air" at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit. See Figure 3ii.
