Installation
• Modern mobile homes have been designed and insulated
to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms as
recommended (refer to RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS).
• In older mobile homes that are not well insulated
compared to present standards, extreme heat or cold can
be transferred from the outside through poorly insulated
walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which
can prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm
mounted on the ceiling. In such units, install smoke alarm
on inside partition between 300mm and 500mm from the
ceiling.
• If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile
home, or if you notice the walls and ceilings are either hot
or cold, install alarm on an inside wall.
• For minimum protection, install one alarm close to the
bedrooms. For additional protection, see SINGLE FLOOR
PLAN.
• NOTE:TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION
AFTER MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN
STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST
ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
Locations to Avoid
• Do not locate your alarm in the garage - products of
combustion are present when you start your automobile.
Use Heat Alarm in this location.
• Do not locate your alarm in front of forced air supply ducts
used for heating and air conditioning and other high air
flow areas.
• Do not locate your alarm less than 500mm from the peak
of an "A" frame type ceiling.
• Do not locate your alarm in areas where temperatures
may fall below 0°C or rise above 40°C, or in humidity
higher than 93% as these conditions may reduce battery
life.
