preclude ceiling mounting. It is considered to

be the responsibility of the installer/client to

determine if the presence of asbestos in the

ceiling material would make ceiling mounting

'impractical'.

Figure 3a

On a Sloping Ceiling

With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a

Smoke Alarm within 610mm (24") of the peak

(measured vertically). If this height is less than

610mm (24") the ceiling is regarded as being

flat (see Figure 4).

<610mm (24")

Locations to avoid

DON'T place Smoke Alarms in any of the

following areas:

• Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages

or other rooms where the Smoke Alarm may

be triggered by steam, condensation, normal

smoke or fumes. Keep at least 6 metres (20ft)

away from sources of normal smoke/fumes.

• Locate away from very dusty or dirty areas

as dust build-up in the chamber can impair

performance. It can also block the insect screen

mesh and prevent smoke from entering the

smoke detector chamber.

• Do not locate in insect infested areas.

Small insects getting into the smoke detector

chamber can cause intermittent alarms.

• Places where the normal temperature can

exceed 100°F (38.7°C) or be below 40°F

(4.4°C) (e.g. attics, furnace rooms, directly

above ovens or kettles etc.) as the steam

could cause nuisance alarms.

APEX

• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting,

window moulding etc., that may prevent

smoke from entering the Alarm.

• Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder

than the rest of the room (e.g. attic hatches).

Temperature differences might stop smoke

from reaching the Alarm.

• Next to or directly above heaters or air

conditioning vents, windows, wall vents etc.

that can change the direction of airflow.

• In very high or awkward areas (e.g. over

stairwells) where it may be difficult to reach

the Alarm (for testing, hushing or battery

replacement).

• Locate the Alarm at least 1m (39") from

dimmer controlled lights and wiring as some

dimmers can cause interference.

• Locate Alarm at least 1.5m (59") and route

wiring at least 1m away from fluorescent

light fittings as electrical "noise" and/or

flickering may affect the unit.

3. Fire Safety Advice

When using household protective devices, basic

safety precautions should always be followed,

including those listed below

• Please read all instructions.

• Rehearse emergency escape plans so

everyone at home knows what to do in case

the alarm sounds.

• Use the Alarm Test Button to familiarise your

family with the Alarm sound and to practice fire

drills regularly with all family members. Draw

up a floor plan that will show each member

at least 2 escape routes from each room in the

house. Children tend to hide when they don't

know what to do. Teach children how to escape,

open windows, and use roll up fire ladders and

stools without adult help. Make sure they know

what to do if the alarm goes off.

• Constant exposures to high or low

temperatures or high humidity may reduce

battery life.

• Nuisance alarms can be quickly silenced by

fanning vigorously with a newspaper or similar

to remove the smoke or press the test / hush

button.

• Do not attempt to recharge or burn the

battery, as it may explode.

• If it is necessary to remove the battery

for separate disposal, handle carefully to

avoid possible eye damage or skin irritation if

battery has leaked or corroded.

• To maintain sensitivity to smoke, do not

paint or cover the Alarm in any manner; do

not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust

or grease.

• If Alarm has been damaged in any way or

does not function properly, do not attempt
