Locations to avoid:
Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the smoke
sensor may be triggered by steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes. Keep at
least 6 m away from sources of normal smoke/fumes
Locate away from very dusty or dirty areas as dust build-up in the chamber can
impair performance. It can also block the insect screen mesh and prevent smoke
from entering the smoke detector chamber
Do not locate in insect infested areas. Small insects getting into the smoke detector
chamber can cause intermittent alarms
Places where the normal temperature can exceed 40°C or is below 0°C (e.g. attics,
furnace rooms, directly above ovens or kettles etc.) as the heat/steam could cause
nuisance alarms
Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window molding etc., that may prevent
smoke or heat from entering the sensor
Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room (e.g. attic
hatches). Temperature differences might stop smoke or heat from reaching the unit
Next to, or directly above, heaters or air conditioning vents, windows, wall vents etc.
that can change the direction of airflow
In very high or awkward areas (e.g. over stairwells) where it may be difficult to reach
the alarm (for testing, hushing or battery replacement)
Locate the unit at least 1 m from dimmer controlled lights and wiring as some
dimmers can cause interference
Locate unit at least 1.5 m from fluorescent light fittings as electrical noise and/or
flickering may affect the unit
