WHERE TO INSTALL A SMOKE ALARM
Nest recommends the following installation.
Multi-family or mixed occupant residence
(Tenancy building, student accommodation)
Your smoke/CO alarm can also be used in
individual flats and bedsits, providing the same
conditions are met as for a single-family
residence. However, there must already be a
primary fire detection system that meets
regulatory requirements for common areas
suchas lobbies and hallways.
Institutions and Hotels
This includes guest houses, hospitals, day-care
facilities, long-term health-care facilities, B&Bs
and halls of residence. Your smoke/CO alarm can
be used in individual sleeping areas/residents’
rooms, provided that the same conditions are
met as for a family residence. However, there
must already be a primary fire detection system
that meets regulatory requirements for common
areas such as lobbies and hallways. Use of this
smoke alarm in common areas may not provide
sufficient fire warning to residents or meet
regulatory requirements.
Commercial and Industrial Premises
This smoke alarm is not intended for any
non-residential, commercial or industrial
application, nor for any other purpose than that
described above.
INSTALLATION CODE
Specific requirements for smoke alarm
installation vary from country to country, and
from region to region. Check with your local Fire
Service for current requirements in your area.
WARNING
Smoke alarms are designed to alert you
with an audible alarm at a level specified
by EN 14604:2005.
WARNING
The smoke alarm accompanying this
user’s guide employs the latest technology
and is independently tested as being
compliant with guidelines established by
the European Committee for Standardization
(CEN). However, as with any electronic
product it may fail and may not sense all
types of fire within sufficient time to alert
you of the danger and provide adequate
time for your escape. In order to maximise
your level of safety always test your smoke
alarm frequently to ensure it is in full
working order.
WARNING
There is a risk of malfunction and
electrical shock, if the smoke alarm
is tampered with.
Your smoke/CO alarm is only suitable for use in
domestic residential applications, as covered in
this user’s guide. It is not suitable for commercial
or industrial applications. It is designed to sense
smoke and carbon monoxide, and alert you. It will
not prevent or extinguish fires.
