Mobile Homes
Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy
efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended in
Recommended
Locations
and Image 2A.
In mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present
standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the
outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This
may create a thermal barrier that can prevent the smoke from
reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such units, install
the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm
at a minimum of 10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12")
below the ceiling (Image 2A).
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or
if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or
cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. For minimum protection,
install at least one alarm close to the sleeping areas. For additional
protection, see Image 1A.
WARNING: Test your smoke alarm operation after R.V. or mobile
home vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and at least
once a week during use.
Mounting
CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!
CAUTION: When wall mounting, the unit must be mounted so
that battery door faces down! (Image 3C) Incorrect orientation
of wall mounted smoke alarms will decrease operational
effectiveness.
