2.1 POSITIONING
The Smoke Screen should ideally be sited in a covert position away from prying eyes and thereby reducing the
possibility of tamper or an attack. The ideal place for the Smoke Screen is above a ceiling from where the smoke
plume is used to its best effect, bursting on the ground and spreading outwards and upwards through 360°. If no
suitable ceiling location is available then the next best location is a wall mounting as close to ceiling height as
possible.
Wall-mounting
The optimum wall mounting position for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor facing the area to be
protected and using the 30-degree angle nozzle. The maximum recommended mounting-height above floor
level is 3 metres, the minimum is 1 metre and there should be no obstacle within 1 metre of the smoke output
nozzle. Also, leave a minimum of 150mm clearance to the ceiling.
Ceiling-mounting
The optimum ceiling mounting position for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor facing the area to be
protected and using the standard straight nozzle. The maximum recommended mounting-height above floor level
is 3 metres, the minimum is 1 metre and there should be no obstacle within 1 metre of the smoke output nozzle.
