Where to install your smoke alarm / heat detector
Install a smoke & heat detector in the hallway outside of every separate
sleeping area (see Figure 1). Two detectors are necessary in a building with
two areas with bedrooms.
Install a smoke & heat detector in every room that is used as a sleeping area.
Install a smoke & heat detector on every floor in a multi-floor home (see
Figure 2).
Install at least two smoke & heat detectors in every home.
Install smoke & heat detectors at both ends of a hallway between bedrooms
if the hallway is more than 12 meters long.
In basements, install detectors at the bottom of basement stairs.
For upper story's, install detectors at the top of the staircase leading to the
story.
Make sure that the path of the smoke to the detector is not blocked by a
door or another obstacle.
Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family room
and attic as well as in the laundry and storage rooms.
Install smoke & heat detectors as close as possible to the center of the
ceiling. If it is not practical, install the detector no closer than 30cm to walls
or corners (see Figure 3).
If installing on the ceiling is not possible and state and local authorities
allow the installation of the detectors on walls, assemble them on walls at a
distance of 30cm – 50cm from the ceiling (see Figure 3).
If your home has a sloped ceiling or gables, try to install the detectors 90cm
from the highest point of the ceiling, measuring horizontally (see Figure 4).
