3. Installation Instructions
This smoke alarm must only be wired to a 240VAC 50Hz sine wave
current supply.
Laws on smoke alarms vary from state to state and you should be
aware of what the requirements are in the state you live - for more
information please refer to your local fire emergency services.
Recommended Locations
• In every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. The
closed door may prevent an alarm located outside from waking the
sleeper.
• In the immediate area of bedrooms and the exit path from all sleeping
areas (Figure 1A).
• In stairways, as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• In any room where large electrical appliances are operated
(e.g. portable heaters or humidifiers).
• If a hallway or room is more than 9.1m long put alarms at both ends.
• For maximum household protection see Figure 1C.
Things to Consider:
For Ceiling Mounting:
Smoke from a fire will rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally.
Mounting the smoke alarm in the centre of the ceiling places it closest
to all points in the room.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of
300mm from the side wall (Figure 2A).
• For sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings the alarm should be placed
between 500mm and 1500mm from the highest point of the ceiling
(Figure 2B).
• Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1m in 8m
horizontally, should be located on the high side of the room
(Figure 2B).
For Wall Mounting:
• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an interior wall with the
top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 100mm and a maximum of
600mm below the ceiling (Figure 2A).
