This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionisation technique. It contains
0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material (see Section 9).
Ionisation sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming
fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible
fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionisation alarms.
Home fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum
protection, Kidde recommends that both Ionisation and Photoelectric alarms be
installed.
This alarm is designed for installation by a qualified electrician, in accordance with
the latest I.E.E. Regulations and relevant British Standards.
This alarm must be installed by a competent person.

1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping rooms. Try to monitor the
exit path as the sleeping rooms 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 sleeping room.
• 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.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 10 cm (4”) from
the side wall. (see Figure 1).
0910-7218-01(21008412B)_v1.qxd:_ 2011.10.27 12:35 PM Pag
• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of
the alarm at a minimum of 10 cm (4”) and a maximum of 30.5 cm (10”) below
the ceiling. (see Figure 1).
• In homes that are not well insulated, 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. If you are not sure about the insulation in your home,
or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the
alarm on an inside wall. In such homes, install the smoke alarm 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 9.1 m (30 feet) long.
• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 0.9 m
(3 ft) of the highest point (measured horizontally). Smoke alarms in rooms with
ceiling slopes greater than .3 m in 2.4 m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be
located on the high side of the room. A row of detectors shall be spaced and
located within 0.9 m (3 ft) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally (see
Figure 3).
• Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shaped ceilings (coffered ceilings) on the highest
portion of the ceiling or on the sloped portion of the ceiling within 12”
(305mm) vertically down from the highest point (see figure 4).
