Where to install a smoke alarm
Smoke alarms must be installed in such a way that they can be reached
unhindered by the fire smoke so that fires can be reliably detected during
the development phase.
• Install at least in sleeping areas (especially children's rooms);
• Install at least in escape rooms;
• In the middle of the ceiling of a room;
• At least 50 cm away from the wall and other objects;
• Maximum installaon height of 6 meter.
Where to install a smoke alarm in rooms
with special geometries
• Corridors with a maximum width of 3m: Max. 15m between 2 smoke
alarms. Max. 7,5m to the front side of the gallery and smoke alarms at
edges/crossings of corridors.
• Rooms with sloping ceilings:
- If the ceiling inclinaon is > 20° to the horizontal: Smoke
alarms must be installed at least 0.5 m and at most 1 m
from the ceiling top.
- Paral roof slopes: If the flat ceiling is ≤ 1m wide, consider
as ceiling inclinaon is of > 20°. If the flat ceiling is >1m
wide, consider as flat ceiling.
• Rooms with subdivided ceilings:
- Height of the subdivisions is ≤ 0.2 m: Beams without consideraon;
smoke alarm may be installed on the beams as well as on the
ceiling.
- Height of subdivisions is > 0.2 m and area of ceiling panels > 36 m²
: Smoke alarm should be installed in each ceiling panel.
- Height of subdivisions > 0.2 m and area of ceiling panels ≤ 36 m²
: Individual ceiling without consideraon.
Where not to install a smoke alarm
• In an environment with a high risk of draught (e.g. close to air
condioning, fans and venlaon outlets). The movement of air can
impair the penetraon of fire smoke into the smoke alarm.
• Areas where combusons regularly occurs, such as kitchens.
• Areas with high humidity such as bathrooms, or close to devices such
as dish washers or washing machines.
Acvaon
• Before commissioning the smoke alarm, it is important to acvate it
and test it for correct operaon.
• Open the baery compartment and place the baery. Connect the +
on the baery to the + on the baery compartment and the - baery
to the - on the baery compartment. Close the baery cover.
• Test the correct acvaon of your smoke alarm by pressing the test
buon. If no sound is generated, the smoke alarm is not acvated
properly and should not be used!
