tally). Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater
than 0.3m in 2.4m horizontally shall be located on the high
side of the room. A row of detectors shall be spaced and
located within 0.9m of the peak of the ceiling measured

Static Mobile Homes:
Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be
energy efficient. Install Smoke/CO alarms as recommended
previously (refer to Recommended Installation Instructions
and figure 1). In older mobile homes that are not well
insulated, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the
outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and
roof. This may cause a thermal barrier, which can prevent
smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In
such mobile homes install your Smoke/CO Alarm on an
inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of
4 inches (10cm) and a maximum of 12 inches (30.5cm)
below the ceiling (See figure 1). If you are not sure about
the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice that the
outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install your
alarm on an inside wall ONLY!
