The smoke detector should be installed in the centre of the room, on the
ceiling, or for a sloping roof at the highest point, as smoke rises and gathers
in this area. This guarantees the earliest possible alarm warning.
Smoke alarms should be installed in all rooms, but not directly above the
cooking area in the kitchen or the bath, where dust concentrates.
Ensure that the smoke detector is not installed directly on or in the vicinity of
large metal objects as they can affect the radio range.
5. Installation
Please follow these steps to install the Convia smoke detector:
•
At the place where you are going to install the detector, draw a
horizontal line six inches long.
•
Remove the mounting bracket from your unit by rotating it
counterclockwise.
•
Place the bracket so that the two longest hole slots are aligned on the
line. In each of keyhole slots, draw a mark to locate a mounting plug
and screw.
•
Remove the bracket.
