Unsuitable installation sites

In order to avoid false alarms, do not mount the smoke detector:
• In rooms in which strong water vapour, dust or smoke arise under
normal conditions.
• Near fireplaces and open fires.
GB
• Near ventilation shafts because the air stream may prevent the smo-
ke from approaching the detector.
• Near fluorescent and energy-saving lamps, because the starter
switch may trigger false alarms through the electrical fields arising
when the lamp is switched on (minimum distance: 50 cm).
• In rooms which are higher than 6 m.
• Directly in the roof apex. Observe a minimum distance of 30 cm to
the roof apex.
• In rooms with temperatures under +5 °C or above +45 °C.
Avoid vertical mounting of the smoke detector
The smoke detector should be mounted horizontally as far as pos-
sible in order to ensure fault-free functioning. Vertical mounting (for
example on the wall) can cause malfunctions.
