I depends on the spreading of the smoke.
A smoke detector only works if some smoke hits it directly.

I think the measure of efficiency of a smoke detector is measured in particles of smoke needed in the air for it to detect it (in parts-per-million, ppm).

Usually smoke spreads quite rapidly in a room so the range can be quite large.

I can relate...this scared me and my loved ones tremendous time!! This occurred to me a few instances final summer time whilst I had creation happening at my condominium. Sometimes dirt debris will pass over a beam within the smoke detector which makes it pass off...In this situation, they all went off like what is going on to you. If you blank the detectors with a vaccum, that are meant to do the trick. Also, I used to be instructed to hide the detectors with plastic in the course of creation. Just be certain you find your detectors on the finish of the day. Hope this is helping you. If it does not, might be you must purchase new detectors.

In the US 900 sq ft is regarded as a starting point for design. Other considerations include air velocity, ceiling height, distance between detectors, distance between detectors and walls, hazard to be protected and value of protected objects.
