In rooms with beams (e.g., wooden
beams), the number and arrange-
ment of the devices depends on
the height of the joists and the
surface formed by the beams.

ing area, observe the following:
f Position the device centrally on the

Areas susceptible to draughts
For occurring smoke to be able to reach
the smoke alarm device, there must not
be any strong draughty influences around
the installation site (e.g. caused by air con-
ditioning systems or ventilation intakes or
fans). In rooms with forced ventilation,
perforated ceilings which are used for ven-
tilation must be closed off within a radius
of 0.5 m around the alarm device.
