Ceiling Mounting

Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central

ceiling position is the preferred location. The

air is “dead” and does not move in corners,

therefore Alarms must be mounted away

from corners. Fit the Alarm:

- At least 300mm away from walls (see

Figure 1).

- At least 300mm from any light fitting or

decorative object which might obstruct

smoke / heat entering the Alarm.

Wall Mounting (Ei3016 only)

If ceiling mounting is impractical, only

the Ei3016 Optical Smoke Alarm may be

mounted on a wall, provided that:

a) the top of the detection element is

between 150mm and 300mm below the

ceiling (see Figure 2);

b) the bottom of the detection element is

above the level of any door openings;
