Selecting the mounting location

NOTICE: It is recommended that you install multiple smoke detectors in your residence or building. In order to provide minimal protection, it is

recommended that multi-floor buildings have one smoke detector installed per floor.

WARNUNG: The smoke detector should be mounted on the pathways to the bedrooms (stairways, hallways, entry ways, etc.). Please make sure that it can be heard well from the bedrooms. If an unfavourable location is chosen, the smoke detector can be largely ineffective in the case of a fire. This can reduce the time needed to get to safety in the event of a fire, endangering your life.

Operating Instructions BR 1201

TIP: To be that the location chosen is acoustically favourable, set off a test alarm.

A smoke detector should be installed in every living space and in every basement room in order to provide an expanded degree of protection. In the following rooms and mounting locations, mounting can lead to problems:

Site/Type Reason

Kitchen/Bath Cooking steam and humidity (humidity of 90%)

Garages Combustion engines (cars, etc.)

Moisture prone Moist air from dryers, steam, rooms etc. (humidity 90%)

Dusty rooms The smoke detector's measuring sensors can become fouled very quickly.

Smoking rooms Cigar or pipe smoke, which does come from fire, cannot be differentiated from other fires by a smoke detector.

In all rooms, there are certain points that must be noted when mounting a smoke alarm.

Site Description

Ceilingmount Mount the smoke alarm on the ceiling in a central position.

IMPORTANT: Areas in which there is no air circulation should be avoided, e.g. in the vicinity of window sills, curtains, furniture, etc. A minimum distance of 30 cm should be maintained. The smoke alarm should be mounted at least 30 cm from walls and corners. These hinder smoke movement and in the case of fire, the alarm only sounds when the smoke concentration is very high.

Mounting near ceiling lamps (e.g. halogen systems, fluorescent lamps) especially those

BR 1201 Operating Instructions

with a dimmer function, is also to be avoided.

30 mm

Roof peak In areas with sloping and

peaked roofs, the smoke alarm must be mounted 90 cm from the highest peak, since air does not move in the slope/point. This results in the smoke being detected too late.

90 cm 60 cm Smoke

NOTE:

Mounting on a roof beam is ideal.
