Installation Preparation
It is important to determine in which rooms and where in each room to install the SKs so that their
positioning is most effective.
2.1.
Required Equipment
Caution:
Do not use the SK with smoke detector guards unless the usage has
been evaluated and found suitable for the SK.
Before beginning, prepare the following equipment:
A drill with a standard 5 mm (3/16 in.) bit
A standard Phillips screwdriver
Two DIN 7982 cross recessed countersunk head tapping screws (3.5 x 16 mm (.14 x .63 in.)) and
wall anchors - provided
Two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries - not provided.
Refer to Appendix A Certification Notes on page 28.
2.2.
Location Recommendations
As a fire prevention device, there are standard locations and conditions for installing the SK.
2.2.1
Acceptable Structures for SK Usage
The SK is designed for residential units only. The SK can be used in a single family home or in an
apartment building. In multi-family buildings, each residence should install its own SKs. The SKs should
be installed in the appropriate rooms, according to section 2.2.2.
SKs installed in common areas, such as on porches or in outside hallways, may not provide sufficient
early warnings for residents.
