Installation
Do Not Install Smoke Alarm Devices In The Following Places:
1. In the garage. Products of combustion are present when
you start your automobile.
2. Less than 20" (50cm) from the peak of an “A” frame
type ceiling. (See figure 2A)
3. In an area where the temperature may fall below 0℃or
rise above 40℃, such as garages and unfinished attics.
4. In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm
or failure to alarm.
5. In very humid areas (greater than 93%R.H.). Moisture or
steam can cause nuisance alarms.
6. In insect-infested areas.
7. Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 foot (0.9m)
of the following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a
bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air supply
ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house
ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.
8. Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If
a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence
feature or be a photoelectric type.
9. Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause
nuisance alarms.
N.B. - Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector
guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has
been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
