Placement
For Ceiling Mounting:
Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling
position is the recommended location. The air is "dead"
and does not move in corners, therefore smoke alarms
must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 12
inches from walls and corners. Additionally, mount the
unit at least 12 inches from any light fitting or decorative
object which might prevent smoke entering the smoke
alarm. Do not attach the detector to removable ceiling
panels.
