The Smoke Alarm should be mounted on the ceiling, its important to note certain
factors when choosing the best position.
▶ Mount the device in the center of the
ceiling. The maximum monitoring
area of an alarm is 60 m
2
. In large
rooms, an extra alarm should be
fitted for every 60 m
2
. The maximum
height a smoke alarm should be
installed is 6 m
▶ If being installed in Hallways (maxi-
mum 3 m wide), a smoke alarm must
be installed at least every
15 m along the length of the hallway.
There should be no more that 7.5 m
from a smoke alarm and the end of
the hallway. We recommend that a
smoke alarm is installed at all hall-
way junctions and corners
▶ In rooms that are divided into
multiple floors, it is recommended
that a smoke detector is installed
on each level where the ceiling area
is greater than 16 m², and the length
and width is over 2 m.
▶ If your ceiling is split by beams or
joints that protrude greater that
0.2 m, we recommend that multiple
Smoke Alarms are fitted if the ceiling
area created by the beams is greater
than 36 m
