A: “Dead-air” area
Relocate the unit if it often gives false alarms. See Locations to avoid.
Locations to avoid
In areas with turbulent air from fans, heaters, doors, windows, etc., which could
draw smoke away from the alarm.
At the peak of an “A” frame ceiling. “Dead-air” at the top may prevent smoke from
reaching the alarm in time to provide early warning.
In insect-infested areas. Tiny insects may affect performance.
In kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, and garages. Combustion particles from
cooking or car exhaust, dust, and moisture could trigger a nuisance alarm.
In very dusty or dirty areas. Dirt and dust can build up and impair performance.
Within 30 cm / 12 in of light fittings or room corners. In locations that would make
routine testing or maintenance hazardous (e.g. over a stairwell).
On poorly insulated walls or ceilings.
Within 1.5 m / 5 ft of fluorescent light fittings.
