5.1 Detector Positioning
Detectors should be positioned to provide the best-unobstructed view
of the area to be protected. The following factors should also be taken
into consideration:
• Identify all high risk fire ignition sources
• Be sure that enough detectors are used to adequately cover the
hazardous area
• Locate and position the detector so that the fire hazard(s) are within
both the field of view and detection range of the device. Refer to
Appendix A for specific information.
• Be sure that the unit is easily accessible for cleaning and other
periodic servicing.
• The detector should be aimed downward at least 10 to 20 degrees to
allow lens openings to drain. See Figure 1. The detector should be
positioned so that its field of view does not cover areas outside
the hazardous area. This will minimize the possibility of false alarms
caused by activities outside the area requiring protection.
