family living unit. Minimum coverage is one sensor on each floor and
one in each sleeping area.

Install Smoke Sensor as close to the center of ceiling as possible.
If this is not practical, put the sensor on the ceiling, no closer
than 4inches(10 cm) from any wall or corner.
2.
If ceiling mounting is not possible, put wall-mounted sensors
between 4 and 6 inches(10~15 cm) from the ceiling.
3.
If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings,
try to mount sensors 3 feet(0.9 meter) measure horizontally
from the highest point of ceiling.

they will no work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install
Smoke Sensors in the following situations:

kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages where there
may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters, and space
