Installing The Detector; Choosing The Right Place - hager S151-22X Manual De Instalación

4. Installing the detector

CAution: make sure there is a distance of at least 2 meters between each product, except
between two detectors.

4.1 Choosing the right place

the detector must be placed:
• in rooms where there is a risk of fire (living
rooms with a fireplace, children's
bedrooms, lofts or basements that are
occupied),
• preferably at the center of the ceiling,
• at a distance from ventilation grilles where
smoke might spread,
• more than 50 cm away from obstacles
(walls, partitions, beams, etc.),
• at either end of corridors more than 10 m
long.
If the smoke detector cannot be installed at a
horizontal ceiling, mount it:
• more than 50 cm away from the corners of
the room (Fig. 1),
• 50 to 60 cm away from the ceiling (Fig. 1),
• far away from potential sources of electrical
interference (electricity meter, metal
cabinet, etc.),
• if it is to be installed on a metal wall, insert a
shim made of non-magnetic material (wood
or plastic).
installation examples:
the detector must not be placed:
• directly on a metal surface,
• near fluorescent tubes,
• in very dusty rooms,
• in rooms where the temperature could drop
below -10°C or rise above +55°C, as this
will prevent the detector from operating
properly,
• less than 1 m away from heating, cooling or
ventilation grilles likely to spread smoke,
