Smoke alarms should be regarded as a minimum level of equipment
sleeping rooms, children's rooms and corridors or passages used as escape routes;
one alarm should be fitted in the centre of each room, always on the ceiling (no wall
mounting) (Fig. 2). Select the highest point in the room for mounting, with a mini-
mum distance of 50 cm from any wall, furniture or lamps. Your installation is
optimised by also installing the devices in all other rooms as well as on all
RM
landings. A smoke alarm is not normally required in washrooms (bathroom,
WC etc.) owing to the low fire risk in these rooms.
Please observe the illustrations in this manual!
The smoke alarm should not be installed in the following areas
• outside (use only in enclosed spaces);
• in areas in which the alarm can be triggered by disturbances (steam,
condensation, 'normal' smoke, fumes, dust, dirt or grease);
• next to ventilation or similar air inlets (draughts);
• in areas where temperatures may fall below 0° C or exceed 45° C.
