(see Figure 3). Additionally, mount the alarm at least 300mm from any light fitting or
decorative object which might prevent smoke entering the Smoke Alarm.
We do not recommend wall mounting of Smoke Alarms.
On a Sloping Ceiling
With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke Alarm within 600mm of the peak
(measured vertically). If this height is less than 600mm it is regarded as being flat
(see
Figure 4
).
