3.1 As a minimum, smoke alarms should be located between

sleeping areas and potential sources of fire such as living rooms and kitchens. In single storey homes with one sleeping area, a smoke alarm should be installed in the hallway, as close as possible to the living accommodation. To ensure audibility in bedrooms, no smoke alarm should be further than 3m away from any bedroom door. It may be necessary to install more than one smoke alarm, particularly if the hallway is more than 15m long. In single storey homes with two separate sleeping areas, a minimum of two smoke alarms is required, one outside each sleeping area. In multilevel or split level homes, as a minimum one smoke alarm should be installed on the ground floor between the stair case and any rooms in which a fire might start and on each

storey in circulation areas which form part of escape route(normally hallways and landings).

3.2 Additional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in

anticipation of fires originating here, caused by faulty wiring. lights, appliances, smokers or other hazards.

3.3 For best protection, smoke alarms should be installed in

every room in your home, apart from those listed in the

§ 4 Locations to avoid DO NOT locate smoke alarms: - In turbulent streams of air such as near fans, heaters, doors and windows, etc. These can draw smoke away from the alarm. - In high humidity areas such as bathrooms and shower rooms as high humidity can trigger the alarm, or where temperature exceeds 39 °C or falls below 5 °C. - At the apex of an “A” frame ceiling. “Dead air’’ at the top may prevent smoke from reaching the alarm in time to provide early warning. - Less than 300mm (12 inches) from the wall when mounted on the ceiling. - In insect-infested areas. Tiny insects may aect performance. - In kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages. Combustion particles from cooking or car exhausts and dust and moisture could trigger the alarm. - In very dusty or dirty areas. Dirt and dust can build up and impair performance. - Within 300mm (12 inches) of light fittings or room corners. - In locations which would make routine testing or maintenance hazardous (e.g.over a stairwell). - On poorly insulated walls or ceilings. - Near objects such as ceiling decorations which might impede the path of smoke to the alarm. - Within 1500mm (5 feet) of fluorescent light fittings. § 5 Testing, maintenance and cleaning This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it functioning properly:

9. Limitations of some alarms

Smoke alarms have played a key role in reducing deaths resulting from home fires worldwide. However, like any warning device, smoke alarms can only work if they are properly located, installed, and maintained, and if smoke can reach the alarms. - Smoke alarms may not wake all individuals. - Smoke alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach the alarms. Smoke from fires in chimneys or walls, on roofs or on the other side of closed doors may not reach bedroom or sleeping area - especially if the bedrooms or sleeping area doors are closed at night. - Smoke alarms may not have time to sound before the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas. - Smoke alarms are not foolproof. Like any electronic device, smoke alarms are made of components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must test the unit weekly to ensure your continued protection. Smoke alarms cannot prevent or extinguish fires. They are not a substitute for property or life insurance. - Smoke alarms have a limited life. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly. You should always replace a smoke alarm after 10 years from date of purchase. Write the purchase date on the space provided on back of unit.
