HIKVISION DS-PDSMK-S-WE - Mounting Methods

Nuisance alarms occur when smoke alarms are installed where they will not work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install smoke alarms in the
following situaons.
• In or near areas where combuson parcles are present, such as kitchens with few windows or poor venlaon, garages where there may be vehicle
exhaust, near furnaces, combuson heaters, and space heaters. Combuson parcles are the by-products of something that is burning, which the smoke
alarm may detect.
• Within 6 m of kitchens where combuson parcles are normally present. If a 6 m distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the smoke
alarm as far away from the combuson parcles as possible. Ensure the area is well venlated.
• In dead-air areas, where venlaon systems cause air-flow that would not pass through the smoke alarm sensing chamber. Avoid also air-flow from areas
where normal combuson parcles are expected, such as kitchens.
• In damp or very humid areas, or within 3 m of bathrooms with showers. Moisture in humid air can enter the sensing chamber, then condense into droplets
upon cooling, which can cause nuisance alarms.
• In very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor rooms. If the temperature rises above or falls below the operang range of smoke
alarm, it may not funcon properly. The temperature range for your smoke alarm is -10 °C ~ 60 °C.
• In very dusty or dirty areas. Dirt and dust can build up on the smoke alarm’s sensing chamber, to make it overly sensive. Addionally, dust or dirt can block
openings to the sensing chamber and limit the smoke alarm from sensing smoke.
• Near fresh air vents or high dra areas like air condioners, heaters or fans, fresh air vents and dras, which can drive smoke away from smoke alarms.
• In dead air spaces, which are oen at the top of a peaked roof or in apex of ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm. See
Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 for recommended mounng locaon.
• In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a smoke alarm’s sensing chamber, they may cause a nuisance alarm. Where insects are a problem, get rid of them
before installing the smoke alarm.
• Near fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may cause nuisance alarms. Do not install smoke alarms within 1.5 m of such lights.
Where Not to Install the Smoke Detector
Figure 5 Mounng in rooms with sloping ceiling and horizontal ceiling
1.Check the signal strength.
1.Draw a 150 mm line at the required place.
2.Rotate the mounng bracket counter -clockwise and remove it from the detector.
3. Align the two longest hole slots with the drawed line. Draw a mark In each of keyhole slots.
4.Drill two 5 mm (3/16-inch) holes at the marks and insert the plasc mounng plugs (supplied).
5.Aach the bracket to the ceiling with the screws supplied.
6.Align the slot of the bracket with the detector, push the detector onto the mounng bracket,
and rotate it clockwise to finish the mounng.
