Installing the smoke detector
Choosing the best place
For optimum protection,
the smoke
detector should preferably be placed
:
• in rooms at risk of fire (living rooms
with a fireplace, children’s bedrooms,
lofts or basements that are occupied),
• in each room, particularly on the
ceiling in the centre,
• at a distance from ventilation grilles
that could spread smoke,
• more than 20 cm away from obsta-
cles (walls, partitions, beams, etc.),
• at either end of corridors more than
10 m long,
If the smoke detector cannot be fixed
to a horizontal ceiling, fix it:
• 15 to 25 cm away from the ceiling,
• more than 60 cm away from the cor-
ners of the room,
• far away from potential sources of
electrical interference (electricity meter,
metal cabinet, etc;),
• if it is fixed to a metal wall, insert a
shim made of non-magnetic material
(wood or plastic).
