Where to install your smoke alarm / heat detector
•
Install a smoke alarm / heat detector in the hallway outside of every separate sleeping area, as
shown in illustration 1. Two detectors are necessary in homes with two areas with bedrooms.
•
Install a smoke alarm / heat detector in every room that is used as a sleeping area.
•
Install a smoke alarm / heat detector in every floor or a multiple-floor home, as shown in illustration 2.
•
Install at least two detectors in every home.
•
Install smoke alarms / heat detectors at both ends of a hallway between bedrooms if the hallway is
more than 12 meters long.
•
In basements, install detectors at the bottom on basement stairs.
•
For upper storeys, install detectors at the top of the staircase leading to the storey.
•
Make sure that the path of the smoke to the detector is not blocked by a door or another obstacle.
•
Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family room and attic as well as in laundry
and storage rooms.
•
Install smoke alarms / heat detectors as close as possible to the centre of the ceiling. If that is not
practical, install the detector no closer than 0.3m to walls or corners, as shown in illustration 3.
•
If installing on the ceiling is not possible and state and local authorities allow the installation of
detectors on walls, assemble them on walls at a distance of 0.3 - 0.5 m from the ceiling, see also in
illustration 3.
•
If your home has sloped ceilings or gables, try to install the detectors 90cm from the highest point of
the ceiling, measured horizontally, as shown in illustration 4.
