3. AVOID THESE LOCATIONS
3.1 Do not locate your alarm in the garage - products of combustion are present
when you start your automobile. Use Lifesaver Heat Alarm in this location.
3.2 Do not locate your alarm in front of forced air supply ducts used for heating
and air conditioning and other high air flow areas.
3.3 Do not locate your alarm less than 500mm from the peak of an "A" frame
type ceiling.
3.4 Do not locate your alarm in areas where temperatures may fall below 5°C or
rise above 45°C, or in humidity higher than 85% as these conditions may re-
duce battery life.
2.1 Modern mobile homes have been designed and insulated to be energy effi-
cient. Install smoke alarms as recommended (refer to RECOMMENDED
LOCATIONS).
2.2 In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present stan-
dards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside through
poorly insulated walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which can
prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such
units, install smoke alarm on inside partition between 300mm and 500mm
from the ceiling.
2.3 If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice
the walls and ceilings are either hot or cold, install alarm on an inside wall.
For minimum protection, install one alarm close to the bedrooms.
For additional protection, see SINGLE FLOOR PLAN.
NOTE:TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER MOBILE
HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP
AND AT LEAST ONCE WEEK DURING USE.
