Planning in rooms with inclined ceilings
A ceiling is inclined if the incline n is at least 0.2. This corresponds to an inclination
angle of 11°.
Calculation of the inclination n:
a
n
b
n =

Please note the following points if you are installing detectors in rooms with inclined
ceilings. More information about the individual points can be found on the specified

Planning in rooms with inclined ceilings
1 Detector or reflector
5 Detection distance
2 Minimum distance between two
detectors
6 Width of monitoring area
3 Distance between detector and
ceiling
7 Installation height
4 Room height
8 Minimum distances to ceilings,
walls etc.
Detection distance (5): Define the distance to be monitored. Depending on this,
define the type and number of reflectors. See [➙ 40]
Room height (4) and installation height (7): Define the installation height. In
high rooms, you must install detectors at different levels. See [➙ 42]
Width of monitoring area (6): Define the width of the monitoring area and,
depending on this, the number of detectors. See [➙ 43]
Minimum distances (8): The infrared ray must be at least 30 cm away from
ceilings, walls, fittings and goods in stock to avoid unwanted reflections.
