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 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 2). 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!
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S
STANDARD 72 (National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
B. Where Not to Install:
Do not install in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms or
bathrooms! INSTALL AT LEAST 5 FEET AWAY FROM ANY
FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
Do not install within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: The door to a
kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or shower, forced air
supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house
ventilating fans, or other high air areas. Avoid excessively dusty,
dirty or greasy areas. Dust, grease or household chemicals can
contaminate the alarm's sensor, causing it to not operate
properly.
Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not block the
sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the sensor to accurately
detect these conditions. Do not install in peaks of vaulted
ceilings, “A” frame ceilings or gabled roofs. Keep out of damp
and humid areas.
Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights,
