Recommended Location of Smoke Detectors
S Install the smoke detector on the ceiling or wall closest to the
detected area.
S Mount the smoke detector on the ceiling close to the rack or chassis.
S Locate a detector in every room where electrical appliances are
operated (i.e., portable heaters or humidifiers).
S When mounting the smoke detector on the ceiling, place it at a
minimum of 10 cm (4”) from the side wall and 61 cm (2 ft) from any
corner.
S If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted by
your local and state codes, place the smoke detector on the wall
10–15 cm (4–6”) from the ceiling.
Installation
To install the smoke detector:
1. Using the smoke detector’s base as a pattern, trace the outlines of
the two keyhole slots onto the mounting surface.
2. Drill a pilot hole in the center of the small end of each keyhole slot
in the mounting surface.
3. Insert and tighten mounting screws into the pilot holes until they
are approximately 1/8” from the mounting surface.
4. Mount the smoke detector base. Verify that the screws are
positioned in the small ends of the keyholes and tighten the
screws.
5. Have a qualified electrician connect the smoke detector to AC
power.
6. Snap the 9V battery connectors to the battery wire clip and insert
the battery into the battery holder.
7. Attach the smoke detector cover to the base by turning it clockwise
until it latches. The smoke detector is now operating.
NOTE The smoke detector cover will not attach to the base unless a battery is installed.
