Your Cautiex smoke alarm has been developed
for placement on the ceiling only. This means
the device must NOT be mounted on walls
and must NOT be placed on furniture like
cupboards.
For proper functionality, your Cautiex smoke
alarm must be placed at a minimum of 50 cm
away from walls or other ceiling mounted
objects.
To achieve full coverage, the maximum dis-
tance between two smoke alarms in one room
should not exceed more than 10 metres.
Your Cautiex smoke alarm must NOT be
placed at a high roof point. During a fire, hot
air gathers at the centre of a high roof and
prevents smoke reaching your Cautiex smoke
alarms sensing chamber. Place your Cautiex
smoke alarm between 50 cm – 100 cm away
from the centre of your roof / gable for
optimum results.
GERMANY
According to DIN14676:2012; smoke alarms have to be installed in:
• Bedrooms.
• Children’s room.
• Corridors and/or stairways which serve as escape routes.
• Smoke alarms have to be placed in such a way that they can detect smoke early.
Hint: Additional smoke alarms in places like living rooms and / or home offices etc. increase the
security.
