• Do not locate in insect infested areas. Small insects getting into the smoke
detector chamber can cause intermittent alarms.
DON’T place Heat Alarms in any of the following areas:
• Bathrooms, shower rooms or other rooms where the unit may be triggered by
steam or condensation.
DON’T place Smoke or Heat Alarms in any of the following areas:
• Places where the normal temperature can exceed 45°C or be below 5°C (e.g.
attics, furnace rooms, directly above ovens or kettles etc.) as the heat/steam
could cause nuisance alarms.
• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window moulding etc., that may
prevent smoke or heat from entering the Alarm.
• Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room (e.g. attic
hatches). Temperature differences might stop smoke or heat from reaching the unit.
• Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents, windows, wall vents etc.
that can change the direction of airflow.
• In very high or awkward areas (e.g. over stairwells) where it may be difficult to
reach the alarm (for testing, hushing or battery replacement).
• Locate the unit at least 1m from dimmer controlled lights and wiring as some
dimmers can cause interference.
• Locate unit at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m away from fluorescent light
fittings as electrical
“noise” and/or flickering may affect the unit.
