Location and positioning
Locating your smoke alarm
For maximum protection we strongly recommend that you install a smoke alarm in every
room (except bathrooms and kitchens). Research indicates that substantial increase in
warning time can be obtained with each properly installed additional smoke alarm. The
minimum level of coverage is one per oor or one outside each sleeping area, however, we
suggest that you follow the guidelines below.
Single storey dwellings
For the minimum level of protection in a single storey dwelling, such as at or bungalow,
the smoke alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the living area. See
Figure 1 for an example. This means that the alarm is near the most likely source of a re,
i.e. living rooms and kitchens. It is important to ensure that the alarm in his location is loud
enough to wake people sleeping in the bedrooms
Single storey dwellings with more than one sleeping area should have an alarm located
outside each area. If a hallway is longer than 30 feet, one alarm will not be sucient.
A smoke alarm should be located at each end. See Figure 2 for an example.
Multi-storey dwellings
For the minimum level of protection in a multi-storey dwelling, smoke alarms should be
placed on the ground oor near the stairs (this will detect smoke from a re in the kitchen
or living room before it reaches the upstairs landing and bedrooms) and on the upstairs
landing (to detect smoke from a re in a bedroom)
For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be placed in every room except kitchens
and bathrooms. Particularly when:
1 Bedroom doors are kept shut at night. An alarm in the hallway may not wake the occu-
pant through a closed door.
2 Rooms contain electrical appliances such as heaters or electric blankets.
3 Bedrooms are occupied by smokers.
4 Rooms are occupied by persons who may not be able to respond very quickly, such as
the elderly or young children.
Important: This smoke alarm is only suitable for individual household units and not for multi
occupancy blocks, commercial or industrial use.
Positioning your smoke alarm
Once the most suitable location has been found, the smoke alarm must be positioned
where it will be most eective. A central ceiling position is the most suitable for the alarm
as smoke rises and spreads out. If this is not possible, the alarm can be mounted on the
wall. The area around the corner of the ceiling is dead air space where the air does not
move, so do not position the alarm on the ceiling closer than 30 cm (12") from the wall,
and on the wall place the alarm at least 10 cm (4") but no further that 30 cm (12") from the
ceiling. See Figure 3 for an example.
When installing the alarm in a room with a sloped or peaked roof, position it at least 50 cm
(20") but no further that 100 cm (40") from the apex as dead air may prevent smoke from
reaching the unit. See Figure 3 for an example.
