Placement
UltraFire Wireless Smoke Alarms must be installed on the ceiling, at least 30cm
from the nearest wall, light tting, or other obstruction. The alarms cannot provide
adequate warning of a re if installed on or too close to a wall.
At least one smoke alarm should be installed in each hallway or corridor and on
each main landing of every staircase. In hallways or corridors exceeding 7.5m in
length, no point in the hallway or corridor should exceed 7.5m from the nearest
smoke alarm. For best protection install optical smoke alarms also in living rooms,
dining rooms and bedrooms. This gives the earliest possible warning should a re
start in these rooms.
These alarms should be installed no more than 600mm vertically below the apex
of a pitched ceiling. Where the depth from apex to eaves is 600mm or less the
ceiling should be treated as at.
Try to ensure that the alarm is within reach without taking any undue risks, so that
you can perform routine maintenance and replace the batteries.
Above all else you must ensure that you follow local building regulations,
legislation, and ocial standards.
