Positions where should install a smoke detector

Introduces the places where we should install the smoke detector

Smoke Detector can warn people of fire smoke and save people lives. We recommend one smoke alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area and in every bedroom.

POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM

● Place at least one smoke alarm per 60㎡on each floor.

● Place a smoke alarm in each corridor and bedroom.

● The smoke alarm is to be placed on the ceiling in such a way that it is in the middle of the room.

● Place a smoke alarm at the top of each staircase.

AVOID THESE POSITIONS:

Near a wall or corner: Place the smoke alarm at a distance of at least 50cm from a wall or corner.

Moist places: Avoid installing smoke alarms near moist or occasionally moist places such as immediately close to a shower or kitchen, where steam can cause false alarm.

Ventilation ducts: Avoid installing a smoke alarm immediately next to a ventilation duct. The draft may prevent smoke from reaching the smoke alarm. Smoke alarm can't be installed in the location where the air velocity is more than 300 f/min (1.5 m/sec).

Dead-air spaces: Avoid installing a smoke alarm in the angle of a pitched roof. Install it at a distance of least 10cm from the ridge.

Fluorescent lamps: Avoid installing a smoke alarm immediately next to fluorescent lamps,such as halogen lights.

Radiation heating source: Avoid installing a smoke alarm near radiant heating source, such as radiant heating in the ceiling can create a hot air boundary layer along the ceiling surface, which can seriously restrict the movement of smoke and heat to a smoke alarm.
