Mounting Guidelines
Recommended Locations
Mount the SMCCO10-Z alarms in or near
bedrooms and living areas. We
recommend you install an alarm on each
level of your home.
When choosing installation locations, be
sure you can hear the alarm from all
sleeping areas. If you install only one
SMCCO10-Z in your home, install it near
bedrooms, not in the basement or
furnace room. Place the alarm out of
reach of children. Never allow children
to handle the SMCCO10-Z.
Figure 1. Recommended Locations
Locations to Avoid
Selecting an improper location can affect
the sensitive electronic components in
your SMCCO10-Z. To avoid damaging the
unit, to provide optimum performance,
and to prevent unnecessary nuisance
alarms, do not install the SMCCO10-Z:
In kitchens, garages, or furnace
rooms that can expose the sensor to
substances that can damage or
contaminate it.
In areas where the temperature is
colder than 40°F (4.4°C) or hotter
than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl
spaces, attics, porches, and
garages.
Within 5 feet of heating or cooking
appliances. We recommend 15 feet
to prevent nuisance alarms.
Near vents, flues, chimneys, or any
forced/unforced air ventilation
openings.
On metal surfaces.
In areas with a large quantity of
metal or electrical wires.
Near ceiling fans, doors, windows,
or areas directly exposed to the
weather.
