♦
In very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor rooms.
If the temperature goes above or below the operating range of smoke detector,
it will not work properly. The temperature range for your smoke detector is 4°C
to 38°C (40°F to 100°F).
♦
In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the detector's sensing
chamber, to make it overly sensitive.
♦
Additionally, dust or dirt can block openings to the sensing chamber and keep
the detector from sensing smoke.
♦
Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or fans.
Fresh air vents and drafts can drive smoke away from smoke detectors.
♦
Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners
between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a
detector. See Figures 8 and 9 for recommended mounting locations.
♦
In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector's sensing chamber, they
may cause a false alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid of them before
putting up a detector.
♦
Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" from fluorescent lights may cause
false alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from such
lights.
