Hardware Installation; Choosing A Location - D-Link DCH-Z310 User Manual

Section 2 - Installation
For complete coverage in residential buildings, smoke sensors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements
and attics. The minimum coverage is one sensor on each floor and one in each sleeping area.
• Install the smoke sensor as close to the center of the ceiling
as possible. If this is not practical, install the sensor on the
ceiling no closer than 50 cm from any wall, ceiling joists, or
fixtures.
• Install the mydlink Home Smoke Detector as horizontally
level as possible at an inclination angle of no more than 20°.
• In case you must install the DCH-Z310 in a room with a steep
ceiling slope, mount it at least 50 cm but no more than 1 m
below the ceiling peak.
• If mounting on the ceiling is not possible, mount the sensor
on the wall 4 - 6 inches (10 - 15 cm) from the ceiling.
• If the area to be monitored is greater than 60 m
ceiling joists, install multiple mydlink Home Smoke Detectors
for better coverage.
