RECOMMENDEDLOCATIONS
FORALARMS
•
Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the
bedrooms to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are
usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping
area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
•
One smoke detector generally needs to be located between
the sleeping area(s) and the most likely sources of fire
(living room and kitchen)
•
Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as
stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
•
Locate at least one alarm on every floor level and every
bedroom.
•
An alarm needs to be installed in the room where electrical
appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters or
humidifiers).
•
Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling
and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the
ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all
points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in
ordinary residential construction.

•
If the length of the room or the hall is beyond 30 feet, you
need install several alarms in the hall.

50cm away from the highest ceiling point in the room(see
