6.0 Mounting the smoke detector
This smoke detector is designed to be used in a house or small office (at home). It is
recommended to use severals smoke detectors at home to detect a fire or smoke
even quicker.
6.1 Choosing a mounting location
To get a full cover of the detection area it is recommended to use several smoke
detectors. Preferably in every room where you live and sleep. A minimum required
detection area can be obtained by installing a smoke detector on every floor and every
bedroom.
Mounting locations for a house or apartment with only one floor:
Image 8. Mounting locations for minimal security and more security.
Mounting locations for a house with several floors:

10 |ENGLISH
Image 9. Recommended mounting locations for a family house.
1. Install at least 2 smoke sensors per Household.
2. If a hallway or stairway is 12 meters or longer, install a smoke sensor on both
ends of the hallway.
3. It is recommended to install smoke detectors in every bedroom.
4. Install smoke detectors as close as possible to a ceiling of a room. If this is not
possible, put the detector no closer than 10 cm from any wall or corner.
Image 10
5. If you cannot mount the smoke detector to a ceiling, mount the smoke detector
on a wall but 10 – 15 cm from the ceiling.
6. If the ceiling of the room is sloped, peaked or you have a gabled ceiling, try to
mount the detector 0.9 meter measured horizontally from the highest Point of the
ceiling as shown in the next image:

11 |ENGLISH

6.2 Not recommended mounting locations of the smoke
detector
Mounting the smoke detector on a wrong place can cause false alarms making the
system less reliable. Do not install a smoke sensor in these areas
1. Areas where combustion takes place, like a kitchen with few windows or poor
ventilation. But also a garage, near furnaces, hot water heaters and pace
heaters.
2. Do not install smoke detectors less than 6 meters from a combustion source, like
a small kitchen. If possible mount the smoke detector to a wall (instead of the
ceiling) and provide good ventilation.
3. Note that are streams are passing by from kitchens causing a smoke sensor in
the hallway nearby to sense smoke. See the image below for a proper mounting
location.

12 |ENGLISH
Image 12. Air currents can activate the smoke alarm
4. Do not mount the smoke detector in very humid areas, near bathrooms or
showers. Mount the smoke detectors at least 3 meters away from the bathroom.
5. Do not mount the smoke detector in cold or hot areas. Operating temperature of
the smoke detector is 4°C to 38°C.
6. Do not mount the smoke detector in a dusty or dirty area. Dust and/or dirt can
build up on the sensor, which may cause false alarms.
7. Do not mount the smoke detector near a ventilation system, air conditioning,
heating installation or fans.
8. Do not mount the smoke detector in dead air spaces, for example at the top of a
peaked roof, in corners between ceilings and walls.
9. Do not mount the smoke detector in insect-infested areas; insects may enter the
detector’s sensor chamber causing false alarms. If a bug is causing a false
alarm, remove it first before mounting the smoke sensor back again.
10. Do not mount the smoke detector near fluorescent lights, the electrical ‘noise’
from these lights may cause false alarms. Keep a distance of at least 1.5m to
mount the smoke detector.
Important!
Do not remove the battery to stop a false alarm. Asure that the ventilation of the room
is sufficient to discharge smoke and/or dust. The alarm will stop automatically when
the smoke is gone. If the false alarms persist, try to clean the smoke detector first.
Do not stand too close to the smoke detector when the alarm is fired. The sound of the
siren, may damage your hearing.

13 |ENGLISH
6.3 Mounting the smoke detector
Once you have decided a proper mounting location, according to the information the
previous chapter, you can now start to mount the smoke detector.
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the housing:
Image 13
2. Use the mounting bracket to mark drilling and screw holes. Use a marker to mark
the desired drilling location.
3. Use a 5mm drill to drill the holes. Insert the provided plugs/dowels into the holes.
4. Screw the mounting bracket to the wall with the provided screws.
5. Mount the smoke sensor on the mounting bracket by turning it counter-clockwise
on the bracket. Make sure that the smoke detector is screwed tightly.

show a message about the smoke alarm being triggered. Also the internal siren of the
e-Centre will sound the selected sound and option external sirens may sound
