1. Prioritize the installation of an alarm in the bedroom and walkways, and make sure you can hear the alarm from
all sleeping areas. In a home with several bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom. If you install only one smoke
alarm in your home, install the alarm near to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
2. Install an alarm above the stairway and on every fl oor of the house.
3. Smoke, heat and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the alarm in the
middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure that the alarm is installed at the minimum distance away from corner.
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 20 inches (50 cm) away from the
corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed onto a wall, a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) should be kept below the ceiling.
6. If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), several alarms should be installed in the same space.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling
point (measured horizontally) in the room.
8. In multi-level houses or apartments, install at least one wireless smoke alarm on each level and keep them installed
in a st raight vertical line (see diagram) with as few obstacles between each of the interconnected alarms as
possible to ensure optimal signal transmission.
