WHAT ARE THE
LIMITATIONS OF MY
SMOKE ALARM?
Your Zeta smoke alarm is designed to alert
you by sounding an alarm when it senses
smoke, i.e. it can only sense smoke and alert
you if smoke reaches it! If a fire develops in
an area remote from the location of the smoke
alarm, such as another room or another level,
smoke may not reach the smoke alarm in
sufficient time or quantity to sense and alert
you to the danger.
We recommend that as a minimum you install
both ionisation and optical smoke alarms on
every floor of your property. For comprehensive
coverage a smoke alarm should also be fitted
in every room.
This smoke alarm cannot be used to provide
primary fire detection in common areas used
by different residents such as blocks of flats
and hotels. The Zeta smoke alarm may not
alarm before a fire causes damage, injury or
death, as the smoke may not reach the smoke
alarm in time. Examples include smoking in
bed and violent gas explosions. This smoke
alarm may not respond in a reasonable time
if it is not installed in the best position, or
if furniture or other obstacles are located
between the smoke alarm and the fire.
