Unsuitable mounting sites
In order to avoid false alarms, do not mount the smoke detector:
• In rooms in which strong water vapour, dust or smoke arise under normal
conditions.
• Near fireplaces and open fires.
• Near ventilation shafts because the air stream may prevent the smoke from
approaching the detector.
• Near fluorescent and energy-saving lamps, because the starter switch may
trigger false alarms through the electrical fields arising when the lamp is
switched on (minimum distance: 50 cm).
• In rooms which are higher than 6 m.
• Directly in the roof apex. Observe a minimum distance of 30 cm to the roof
apex.
• In rooms with temperatures under +4 °C or above +40 °C.
