Mobile Homes:
Mobile homes built within the last five to seven years
are designed to be energy efficient. Install Smoke/CO
alarms as
Recommended Installation Instructions and Diagram A)
In mobile homes that are not well insulated, extreme
heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the
inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This
may cause a thermal barrier, which can prevent smoke
from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In
such mobile homes install your Smoke/CO Alarm on
an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a
minimum of 10cm (4 inches) and a maximum of
30.5cm (12 inches) below the ceiling. (See Diagram A)
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile
home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling
are either hot or cold, install your alarm on an inside
wall ONLY!
B. Where Not to Install:
Do not install in garages, kitchens, boiler rooms
or bathrooms! INSTALL AT LEAST 1.85 METRES
AWAY FROM ANY FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
