Where not to install your smoke alarm / heat detector
A false alarm can be triggered if smoke alarms / heat detectors are installed where they cannot function
properly. To prevent such false alarms, do not install smoke alarms / heat detectors as follows:
•
In areas with fresh air supply. Movement of fresh air can keep smoke from the smoke alarm / heat
detector, thereby limiting its effectiveness.
•
Near paint thinner vapours.
•
In very hot or cold areas, including unheated buildings or exterior spaces.
•
Near air ducts or in draughty areas, such as near air conditioners, heaters or fans.
•
In areas with still air, such as under pointed roofs or in corners between walls and the ceiling. Still air
can prevent smoke from reaching the detector. See illustrations 3 and 4 for recommended installation
locations.
•
Areas prone to insects. If insects enter the sensor chamber of a detector, they can trigger false
alarms. If you have a bug problem, take care of it before you install detectors.
•
Near fluorescent lights, since electromagnetic fields from fluorescent lights can trigger false alarms.
Install smoke alarms / heat detectors at least 1.5 meters from such lights.
