Introduction
Our photoelectric smoke detector is designed to sense smoke that
comes into the detector chamber. It does not sense gas, heat, or
alarm horn. It can provide precious time for you and your family
located, installed, and maintained properly as described in this
User's Manual.
Locations to Install Your Smoke Detectors
For complete coverage in residential units,
smoke detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage
areas, basements, and attics in each family living unit. Minimum
area and attics in each family living unit.
Here, we have useful tips for you:
• Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside every separate
bedroom area, as shown in Figure 1. Two detectors are required in
homes with two bedroom areas, as shown in Figure 2.
•
apartment, as shown in Figure 3.
• Install a minimum of two detectors in any household.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
• Install smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the
hallway is more than 12 meters long.
• Install a smoke detector inside every room where one sleeps with
the door partly or completely closed, since smoke could be blocked
by the closed door and a hallway alarm may not wake up the
sleeper if the door is closed.

• Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stairwell.

stairwell.
• Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to
the detector.
• Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family
room, attic, utility and storage rooms.
• Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as
possible. If this is not practical, put the detector on the ceiling, no
closer than 4 inches (10 cm) from any wall or corner, as shown in
Figure 4.
• If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted
by your local and state codes, put wall-mounted detectors between
4 and 6 inches (10 ~ 15 cm) from the ceiling, also see Figure 4.
• If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try
to mount detectors 3 feet (0.9 meter) measured horizontally from
the highest point of the ceiling as shown in Figure 5.
