Installation guidelines
Smoke detectors must be installed according to the European
standard CE EN 14604. For a complete coverage of your home, the
detectors must be installed in every room, storage area, cellar, attic
and corridor. The minimum number of detectors to be installed is
one on each oor, one in every bedroom and one in the attic.
Useful indications
- Install one detector in every corridor next a bedroom room, as
shown in gure 1. In homes with two bedrooms, it is necessary to
install two detectors, as shown in gure 2.
- If your house or apartment has several oors, install a detector on
each oor, as shown in gure 3.
Optimal installation
We recommend a complete coverage and the use of additional
smoke detectors.
- Install a minimum of two smoke detectors for any type of home
- Install a detector in every bedroom
- Install a smoke detector at each end of a corridor giving access to
bedrooms, if this corridor is more than 12-meter long
- Install a detector in every room with a door that can be used as a
bedroom: smoke might be blocked by the door and the siren in the
corridor might not be loud enough to wake the person up if the
door is closed.
