Installation Figure 1: Smoke detector placement

(1)
Notes
• Locate detectors in an operating environment as defined (5)
in “Specifications” on page 6.
(2)
• Mount detectors on a firm, permanent surface.

Placement and spacing

Use the following location guidelines to optimize performance (3)
and reduce the chance of false alarms.
Smoke detectors:
• Locate wall-mounted smoke detectors so the top of the
detector is no lower than 12 in. (30 cm) below the ceiling.
See Figure 1.
(4)
• As a guide, space smoke detectors on smooth ceilings
30 ft. (9.1 m) apart. When determining other spacing,
consider ceiling height, high air movement, and other
conditions or response requirements. Refer to NPFA 72.

from the sidewall. On the wall, mount them between 4 and
12 in. from the ceiling.
(2)
• When determining detector placement, consider ceiling
height, construction, and ventilation as these affect a
detector’s performance. Refer to NPFA 72.

Installing the base (3)

Select a compatible electrical box for the base. See

“Specifications” on page 6 for a list of compatible electrical
boxes.
The 6-inch diameter bases have three parts; the base itself (4)
that mounts on the electrical box or ceiling, a foam gasket, and

4. Check all wiring and mounting connections.
5. Install the gasket. Align the molded line on the base with
the base cover, and then twist clockwise to snap in place.

Consider the locking mechanism before installation

Each detector head is equipped with a breakaway locking tab
to prevent unauthorized removal of the detector head (see
Figure 3). For installations where unauthorized removal of the
detector head is not a concern, the head removes by simply
turning counterclockwise.
However, when the head must lock to the base, break away
the locking tab with a pair of pliers. Then, to remove the Wiring

To test the heat detector:

1. Aim a hot air gun at the detector from 6 to 10 in. (15 to
25 cm) away, taking care not to melt the plastic.
The detector should go into alarm in less than 30 seconds.
