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. 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 052109 Rauchmelder BR 5232 02.06.2009 19:19 Uhr19 BR 5232 Operating Instructions fouled very quickly. Sites with strong Air currents from fans, open air currents windows, ventilation, etc. Rooms with Rooms below 0°C or higher extreme temperatures than 40°C Rooms with high The smoke detector’s measu- incidence of ing sensors can become fouled insect pestsr 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, cur- tains, furniture, etc. A minimum distance of 30 cm should be maintained. The smoke alarm should be mounted at least 052109 Rauchmelder BR 5232 02.06.2009 19:19 Uhr30 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, fluores- cent lamps) especially those with a dimmer function, is also to be avoided. 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. NOTE: Mounting on a roof beam is ideal.
