Choice of location
A smoke alarm alerts the occupants of a house to an outbreak of fire.
Given that the occupants are at most risk during the night, smoke alarms should be installed as a priority in lan-
dings leading to bedrooms and possibly in the bedrooms themselves.
Install a detector on the ceiling of each room to be to be monitored, preferably in the centre of the room.
The area covered by an optical smoke detector is around 50 m2.
The maximum distance between the detector and the furthest point in the room to be to be monitored is 5 m.
Corridors:
- Install a detector in the middle of the corridor if it measures less than 10 m.
- For wider corridors, maintain a distance of 10 m between two detectors.
Floors:
Install one detector on each floor.
