Wondering which smoke alarm you need?
Our Smoke and Gas Detectors Buying Guide has a wealth of information to help you decide which Smoke Alarms to buy, plus installation tips, maintenance advice, and guidance on certification standards and relevant regulations to be aware of.
What is the maximum distance the alarms can be connected?
The interconnect function allows up to 20 alarms to be linked over a maximum distance of 80 metres.
Where is it best to place the CO alarm?
Ideally, a CO alarm should be installed in every room containing a fuel-burning appliance. Additional apparatus may be installed to ensure that adequate warning is given to occupants in other rooms, by locating apparatus in remote rooms in which the occupant spends considerable time whilst awake and from which they may not be able to hear an alarm from apparatus in another part of the premises, and every sleeping room.
What is the ideal position of the alarm?
Carbon Monoxide has a similar density to warm air and can be found in various locations. Apparatus should be located in the same room as a solid-burning appliance.
Is the alarm wall mountable and what advice do you give for positioning?
Yes. If the apparatus is located on a wall, it should be located at a height greater than the height of any door or window but at least 150 mm from the ceiling. The apparatus should be at a horizontal distance of between 1m and 3m from the potential source.
How do you position on a sloping ceiling?
If the apparatus is mounted on a ceiling, it should be at least 300 mm from any wall. In rooms with sloped ceilings, the apparatus should be located at the highest side of the slope.
