Where not to install your smoke & heat detector
A false alarm can be triggered if smoke & heat detectors are installed where they
cannot function properly. To prevent such false alarms, do not install smoke &
heat detectors as follows:
•
In areas with constant fresh air supply. Movement of fresh air can keep
smoke from entering the smoke & heat detector, thereby limiting its
effectiveness.
•
Near paint thinner vapors.
•
In very hot or cold 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 ceiling. Still air can prevent smoke from reaching the detector
(see Figure 3 and Figure 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.
