2.2 Location
First check what legal requirements there are in your federal state for installing smoke
alarms. Please refer to local building regulations for the exact requirements*. Fire
prevention experts recommend that smoke alarms should be installed at least in every
bedroom and every child’s room, as well as in the escape routes for these rooms (except
in unsuitable rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom).
Multi-storey homes
If there is more than one storey in your home (see Figure 1), at least one alarm should
be installed on every floor. Preferably, the alarms should be interlinked (if this function
is available on your device) so that the alarm sounds throughout the building. Radio
modules, which are easy to install, are ideal for this, as the alarms can be interlinked by
radio – no wires are needed.
For even better protection, you should install heat detectors in kitchens, garages, boiler
rooms, etc. Smoke alarms are not suitable for these rooms.
Heat detectors should be interlinked to the Smoke Alarms.
