WARNING! Do not use this Smoke Detector device in non-residential buildings.
Warehouses, industrial buildings, commercial buildings, etc., require special fire
detection and alarm systems.
This device is not a substitute for a complete fire detection system for sites
where many people live or work (i.e. hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals,
nursing homes and group homes) even if they once were single family homes.
See NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standard 101 (Life Safety Code)
and NFPA standard 72 (Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) for fire alarm
requirements.
3.12.2.1 Smoke Detector Positioning Recommendations
n For complete coverage in residential units, Smoke Detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls,
storage areas, basements, and attics.
WARNING! Smoke Detectors installed in common areas such as porches or
outside hallways may not provide sufficient early warning for residents.
n For minimum coverage install one alarm on each floor and one in each bedroom zone.
n Smoke Detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) standard 72.
n For optimal detection, consider these factors when selecting a mounting position:
t The Smoke Detector should be mounted on the ceiling but may also be mounted on a
wall.
t The Smoke Detector must be installed within 500m (1640 feet) of the Central Control
Unit.
t Install the Smoke Detector in the hallway, close but outside every separated bedroom
area, as shown in Figure 127 below. Two alarms are required in homes with two bedroom
areas, as shown in Figure 128 below.
