Installation Locations
When choosing your installation location, make sure you can hear the alarm from all
sleeping areas. If you install only one smoke/CO alarm in your home, install the alarm
near to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
1. You should first install an alarm in the bedroom and walkways. In a home with
several bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom.
2. Install an alarm above the stairway and on every floor of the house.
3. Smoke, heat and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the
ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure
the alarm is within working distance of all corners of the room.
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install at a distance of
20 inches (50 cm) away from the corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed on a wall, it should be at a distance of 4-12 inches
(10-30 cm) below the ceiling.
6. If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), you will need to install
several alarms in the same space.
