6. Structural features
• If the height of a room is separated by a platform or gallery, a smoke alarm device must be
installed below these features if their area exceeds 16 m
exceed 2 m.
• In rooms with a ceiling slope of > 20° with respect to the horizontal, heat pockets can form
under the top of the ceiling, which prevent smoke reaching the smoke alarm device.
• Therefore, smoke alarm devices must be installed at least 0.5 m and at most 1 m from the top
of the ceiling in these room, see figure below.
• In rooms with a ceiling slope of ≤ 20°, smoke alarm devices must be installed in the middle
of the ceiling.
Installation example for a slanted roof with an angle of > 20°
Note: Smoke alarm devices can be placed either in the left position (1) or right position (2).

c) Example for ceiling with bearer (height (h) of the bearer > 0.20 m)
In corridors with a max. width of 3 m, the distance between two smoke alarm devices must
not be more than 15 m. The distance of the smoke alarm device to the short side of the cor-
ridor must not be more than 7.5 m. In areas of crossings, junctions and corners (mitre line) of
corridors, one smoke alarm device must be installed each. A placement example is shown in
section 4.
8. Installation
• Loosen the mounting plate at the back of the device by turning it counter-clockwise
• Fasten the mounting plate on the ceiling or wall using the enclosed mounting material. Before
doing so, ensure that the enclosed mounting material is suitable for the structural character-
istics of the ceiling or wall.
• Place the smoke alarm device into the mounting plate and turn it counter-clockwise until you
can hear it click into place.
• Caution: Smoke alarm devices with replaceable battery can only be fastened when the bat-
tery is inserted, because they have a locking mechanism.
