INTRODUCTION
SMOKE DETECTOR
The SMOKE-WE is designed to sense smoke that comes into the sensing chamber and to
give early warning of developing res by alarming from its built-in piezo.
It does not sense gas, or ame.
HEAT DETECTOR
The HEAT-WE senses ambient temperature via a thermistor and provides an early warning
of developing res by alarming from its built-in piezo when the temperature rises above a
predened value.
It does not sense gas, or smoke.
Please note: These detectors can only provide pre-warning if they are located, installed, and
maintained properly as described in this guide.

INSTALLATION & LOCATION ADVICE
WHERE TO INSTALL
LOCATIONS IN THE HOME
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the BS5839-6. These are Grade F1
and used for LD3 categories.
Minimum coverage is one detector installed on each oor in the property and one in each
section of the property with adjacent bedrooms.
For added protection, install a separate smoke detector in each separate room and exit
way, except the kitchen and rooms which emit steam, for example bathrooms and wet
rooms, as shown below in g I and II.

adjacent bedrooms.
Locations for placing detectors
for single-oor homes with
spread out bedrooms.
Locations for placing detectors
for multi-oor homes.
For complete coverage in residential properties, smoke detectors should be installed
in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, and attics. Install a minimum of two in any
household.

USEFUL TIPS
• In hallways or corridors exceeding 7.5m in length, no point within the hallway or corridor
should exceed 7.5m from the nearest detector.
• Install a rst-oor smoke detector at the top of the ground-to-rst oor stairwell. Be sure
that no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the alarm.

Ideally, the detector should be
located as central as possible.
The detector must be installed
at least 300mm from walls
or any light ttings as shown
in g IV.
If ceiling mounting is not
possible, when wall mounting
the top of the detector should
be 150 - 300mm from the
ceiling and at least 300mm
from any walls or objects as
shown in g V.
When siting a smoke detector
on a pitched ceiling, the centre
must be no more than 600mm
and a heat detector no more
than 150mm vertically below
the apex as shown in g VI.
Please note: If it is not possible to locate the smoke or heat detector at the required distance from
the apex on a pitched ceiling, it is considered a at ceiling and should be installed as g IV.

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL
GENERAL
Do not install...
• In environments where the ambient temperature can exceed 40°C or be below 0°C
• Where heat/steam could cause false alarms such as directly above ovens or kettles etc.
• On surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room (e.g. attic
hatches) as temperature dierences may stop smoke or heat from reaching the unit.
• In close proximity to anything that can create airows such as air conditioning units,
windows, vents or heaters.
• Anywhere that not easily accessible to silence false alarms or test/replace the battery.
• Near any objects that could cause electrical interference such as dimmer switches or
proximity readers.
• Within 1.5m of uorescent light ttings as the electrical noise or ickering may aect the
unit.
SMOKE DETECTORS
Do not install...
• In bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the smoke alarm
may be triggered by steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes.
• Within 6 metres from sources of normal smoke/fumes.
• Near very dusty or dirty areas. Build-up of dust or dirt in the chamber will impair
performance. It can also block the insect screen mesh and prevent smoke from entering
the chamber.
• In insect infested areas. Small insects getting into the smoke detector chamber can cause
intermittent alarms.
HEAT DETECTORS
Do not install...
• In, or close to bathrooms, shower rooms or other rooms where the unit may be triggered
by steam or condensation.
