conditions
The following conditions allow the wall mounting of smoke detec-
tors in the middle of the longer room wall:
-
If mounting on the ceiling is not possible due to textile ceilings, heated
ceilings or ceilings with insufficient stability.
-
If mounting on the ceiling will most likely result with a higher number
of fake alarms. This only applies to rooms and corridors of ≤ 6 m² or
kitchens serving as escape routes.
Distance to ceiling:
a = 0,3 m - 0,5 m
Distance underneath:
b = 1 m
Distance sideways:
c > 0,5 m
