2. HOW MANY ALARMS TO INSTALL

- CATEGORIES & GRADES -

The advice here follows the guidance in British Standard

BS 5839-Part 6: 2004 in general (for further information

see the BS standard itself).

The main reason for fitting Smoke & Heat Alarms in

dwellings is to ensure that when there is a fire, sufficient

early warning is given so that everybody can escape

safely.

This means that the fire alarms should ideally be located

near all potential sources of fires and that the alarm

should be heard throughout the house – particularly in

the bedrooms.

It is also important that nuisance/false alarms are

minimised to ensure the units are not disabled or

ignored.

The BS standard gives guidance on:

- how many alarms to install

- what type of alarm to use

- where to position alarms

The above points will depend on the type of dwelling to

be protected and the level of fire risk.

Fire Risk Assessment

The ‘Grade’ and ‘Category’ of system that should be

installed depends on the fire risk. The risk assessment

is based on a combination of probabilities:

- fire occurring

- injury or death to occupant

- system operating correctly with a fire

- early detection and warning to occupants in the event

of a fire.

The greater the risks, the more comprehensive and

reliable systems are needed.

2.1 Categories of System

There are three Categories of LD systems for Life

protection in Dwellings that can be installed, depending

on the fire risk and regulations.

2.2 Selecting Alarm Type

1Optical Smoke Alarms are recommended due to their

excellent response to smouldering fires. If there is likely to be

problems with steam, contamination or dust build-up, or if there

is significant risk of a fast burning clean fire an Ionisation Smoke

Alarm should be fitted.

2Some Fire Authorities recommend that both Ionisation and

Optical Smoke Alarms should be fitted for the fastest response

to all types of fires.

3Some Fire authorities (concerned with the slow response of

Heat Alarms) advise that Smoke Alarms should be fitted. This

is acceptable according to BS 5839-6 provided there are clearly

not going to be problems with nuisance alarms. Fit Heat Alarms

only if nuisance alarms are very likely and it is acceptable that

a warning will only be given by the Heat Alarm when there

is a very significant flaming fire in the room. If the door(s)

and windows are not closed to contain the fire and heat, it is

extremely unlikely that the Heat Alarm would respond before a

Smoke Alarm sited outside in the corridor.

4In enclosed kitchens with doors closed.

5Greatly depends on ventilation and distance from source of

fumes.

Improved Audibility

The effectiveness of Category LD2 and LD3 systems can

be significantly enhanced if an additional Smoke Alarm

(interconnected) is installed in the master bedroom. This will

help ensure that a responsible person will quickly be alerted

to a fire and can arrange for an orderly evacuation of children

and other vulnerable occupants.

2.3 Grade D, E & F Systems

The mains powered Smoke and Heat Alarms with battery

back-up covered by these instructions are suitable for Grade

D, E & F Systems.

A Grade D system is needed for:

- new or materially altered dwellings, up to three-storeys,

with no floor over 200m2

- existing dwellings with poor structural fire precautions, up

to three storeys, with no floor over 200m2

- Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) of one or

two-storeys, with no floor over 200m2

- Individual dwellings units of two or more rooms in HMOs

Check that a Grade D system is adequate for the dwelling

into which the system is being installed.

3. POSITIONING ALARMS

The locations must comply with applicable building

regulations.

Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling

position is the preferred location. The air is “dead” and

does not move in corners, therefore Smoke & Heat Alarms

must be mounted away from corners. Place the unit:

- At least 0.3m away from walls. See Figure 1.

- At least 0.3m from any light fitting or decorative object

which might obstruct smoke / heat entering the Alarm.

(Smoke Alarms should be located directly on the ceiling or,

if not possible, up to 575mm below it. Heat Alarms should

be located directly on the ceiling or, if not possible, up to

125mm below it).

Sloping Ceiling

With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke Alarm

within 600mm of the peak or a Heat Alarm within

150mm of the peak (measured vertically). If this height

is less than 600mm for Smoke Alarms or 150mm for

Heat Alarms it is regarded as being flat (see Figure 2).

3.1 Locations To Avoid

DON’T place Smoke Alarms in any of the following

areas:

• Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other

rooms where the smoke alarm may be triggered by

steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes. Keep

at least 6 metres away from sources of normal smoke/

fumes.

DON’T place Heat Alarms in any of the following

areas:

• Bathrooms, shower rooms or other rooms where the unit

may be triggered by steam or condensation.

DON’T place Smoke or Heat Alarms in any of the

following areas:

• Places where the normal temperature can exceed 40°C or

be below 4°C (e.g. attics, furnace rooms, directly above

ovens or kettles etc.) as the heat/steam could cause

nuisance alarms.

• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window

moulding etc., that may prevent smoke or heat from

entering the Alarm.

• Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest

of the room (e.g. attic hatches). Temperature differences

might stop smoke or heat from reaching the unit.

• Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents,

windows, wall vents etc. that can change the direction of

airflow.

• In very high or awkward areas (e.g. over stairwells) where

it may be difficult to reach the alarm (for testing, hushing

or battery replacement).

• Locate away from very dusty or dirty areas as dust build-up

in the chamber can impair performance. It can also block the

insect screen mesh and prevent smoke from entering the

smoke detector chamber.

• Locate the unit at least 1m from dimmer controlled lights

and wiring as some dimmers can cause interference.

• Locate unit at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m

away from fluorescent light fittings as electrical “noise”

and/or flickering may affect the unit. Do not wire into the

same circuit as fluorescent lights or dimmers.

• Do not locate in insect infested areas. Small insects

getting into the smoke detector chamber can cause

intermittent alarms. Insects and contamination on the

Heat Alarm sensor can increase its response time.

4. INSTALLATION

The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted ,

using it’s own built-in terminal block to connect it to the

mains. The mounting plate can be screwed directly to

the ceiling. Alternatively it can be screwed to a standard

junction box. It requires a current of 40mA. The Alarm
