Placement on a sloped ceiling
If the slope of your ceiling is more than 19 degrees,
there’s a triangle of dead air below the peak that
should be avoided. To check where the dead air
ends, think of the peak of your ceiling as the top
point of the triangle. The side of the triangle is
your wall. The base of the triangle connects the
wall to the slope of your ceiling. When the base
is 90 cm (35.4 in) long, you get the outline of the
dead air. Your smoke alarm should be installed
on the ceiling or wall not more than 20 cm (7.9 in)
below the dead air.
Placement on the ceiling or wall
Installing on the ceiling is recommended. Mark
where the screws will go using the base as a
guide. If you’re installing on the wall, make sure
it’s within 12 inches of the ceiling.
