To minimise nuisance alarms avoid these locations:
•
Do not install within 0.9m of the following: The door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that
contains a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling
or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air-flow areas.
•
Areas where curtains or other objects will block the sensor. Smoke must be able to
reach the sensor to accurately detect conditions.
•
Install at least 30cm away from fluorescent lights.
•
Keep out of insect infested areas.
•
Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
•
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 0°C or hotter than 40°C.
•
Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is greater than 93%.
•
If a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silencer feature or be a
photoelectric type.
•
Do not place in the garage.
•
Avoid dead air spaces such as the peak of an “A” frame ceiling. “Dead Air” at the
top may prevent smoke from reaching the alarm in time to provide early warning.

N.B.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that
purpose.
