1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try
to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest
from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act
like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are
operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the
door closed.
The closed door may prevent an alarm not located in that room
from waking the sleeper.
• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and
spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in
the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.
Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential
construction.
• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid
thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling. For more details, see
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION below.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of
4” (10 cm) from the side wall (see figure 1).
• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with
the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a
maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large
room if the hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.

• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at
or within 3ft (0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally).
NFPA 72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes
greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) horizontally shall be
located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row
of detectors shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of
the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (see figure 3).
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy
efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above (see figures
1 and 2).
In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to
present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from
the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof.
This may create a thermal barrier which can prevent the smoke
from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such units,
install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the
alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5
cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if
you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold,
install the alarm on an inside wall. For minimum protection, install
at least one alarm close to the bedrooms. For additional protection, see SINGLE FLOOR PLAN in figure 2.
WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER
MOBILE HOME HAS BEEN IN STORAGE OR UNOCCUPIED
AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
2. LOCATIONS TO AVOID
• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you
start your automobile.
• Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise
above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics.
• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or fail-
ure to alarm.
• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance
alarms.
• In insect-infested areas.
• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the fol-
lowing: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing
a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow
areas.
• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a
kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature
or be a photoelectric type.
• Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance
alarms.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless
the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and
found suitable for that purpose.
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
