Abus GRWM30500 User Manual - Selecting Location
Selecting location
Smoke alarm devices are to be used as the bare minimum equipment in all
bedrooms, children's rooms and hallways which act as escape routes, and are
to be installed in each case in the middle of the room, on the ceiling only (do not
install on wall) (Fig. 2).
Select the highest installation location with a minimum distance of 50 cm to
surrounding walls, furniture and lamps. Configuration is optimal when
devices are located in all other rooms as well as staircases. In washrooms
(bathrooms, lavatories etc.), a smoke alarm device is generally not necessary
because the risk of fire is low.
Please observe the graphics in this guide.
Where smoke alarm devices should not be installed
•
Outside (use only in closed rooms)
•
In rooms in which the alarm could be triggered by
disturbance variables (steam, condensation, 'normal'
smoke, vapour, dust, dirt or grease)
•
Next to an air duct or similar ventilation opening (draughts)
•
In areas in which the temperature can fall below 0 °C and
rise over 40 °C
•
on unstable surfaces with designs that render them
unsuitable for installation with screw anchors.
