Installation
Mobile Home Installation:
For Well Insulated Mobile Homes
Install smoke alarms as recommended on the previous
pages.
In mobile homes that are not well insulated 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 which can prevent the smoke from
reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling.
For Poorly Insulated Mobile Homes
Install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top
edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10cm and a maximum
of 30cm below the ceiling (Figure 2A).
For minimum protection, install at least one alarm close
to the bedrooms. For additional protection, see Figure
1A.
WARNING:
TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION
AFTER CARAVAN OR MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS
BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT
LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE
