Installation Preparation
Equipment
Before commencing installation, ensure all equipment and tools to mount and
test the device are available, such as drills, mounting screws (supplied),
cables and ladders.
Location Selection in Homes and Apartments
Heat alarms are suitable for residential applications where smoke or gas
detectors may cause unwanted alarms. The following locations are suitable for
heat alarms.
•
Areas where combustion particles are present, such as kitchens with few
windows or poor ventilation.
•
Garages where there may be vehicle exhaust fumes.
•
Near furnaces, combustion heaters, and space heaters.
•
Damp or very humid areas, such as bathrooms with showers.
•
In an environment of between (0 ~ +50) °C, and (10 ~ 90) % relative
humidity (non-condensing).
•
Dusty or dirty areas.
•
Insect-infested areas.
WARNING
: Hazardous levels of smoke and toxic gas can build up
before a heat alarm might operate. Where life safety is the primary
requirement in the event of a fire, smoke, gas or combination alarms usually
provide earlier warning than heat alarms alone.
For complete coverage, smoke alarms should be installed in all rooms, halls,
storage areas, basements, and attics in dwellings. The minimum coverage is
one smoke alarm on each floor and one outside each sleeping area.
Installation Location
Install heat alarms as close to the centre of the ceiling as possible, away from
light fittings and air-conditioning ducts. If this is not practical, mount the heat
alarm on the ceiling, no closer than 50 cm from any wall or corner (see Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 – Heat alarm location from
walls
If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to mount
smoke alarms 0.9 m measured horizontally from the highest point of the ceiling.
Where
Not
to Install Your Heat Alarm
Heat alarms are not a suitable substitute for smoke alarms required in sleeping
areas.
