4. الإعداد والتثبيت
4.1 اختيار الموقع
Proper placement is crucial for effective smoke detection. Consider the following guidelines:
- Install at least one smoke detector on every level of your home, including basements and attics.
- Place detectors inside and outside sleeping areas.
- For optimal detection, install the detector in the center of the ceiling. If ceiling mounting is not possible, mount it on a wall, at least 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) from the ceiling.
- Avoid these locations: kitchens (cooking fumes can cause false alarms), bathrooms (steam), garages (vehicle exhaust), near heating vents, air conditioners, or ceiling fans (air currents can prevent smoke from reaching the detector), and in extremely dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.
4.2 تركيب الكاشف
- Twist the mounting bracket counter-clockwise to separate it from the detector unit.
- Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling or wall at your chosen location and mark the screw holes.
- Drill pilot holes (if necessary) and secure the mounting bracket with the provided screws.
- Install the 9V battery as described in section 4.3.
- Align the detector unit with the mounting bracket and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place.
- Test the detector immediately after installation (refer to section 5.2).
