– ii –RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTIONThe Following Recommendations For The Location Of Fire And Burglary DetectionDevices Help Provide Proper Coverage For The Protected Premises.Recommendations For Smoke And Heat DetectorsWith regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to therecommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72noted below.Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipmentin all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detectorshould be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of amulti-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors inkitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors inthe living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility andstorage rooms, basements and attached garages.In addition, we recommend the following:• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly orcompletely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallwayoutside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portableheaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12meters) long.• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room wherealarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not solocated, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion.DININGKITCHEN BEDROOMBEDROOMBEDROOMBEDROOMLIVING ROOMJJJ JJssBEDROOMBDRMBDRMDININGLIVING ROOMTV ROOM KITCHENn nnJJJJ JJsJJJBEDROOM BEDROOMTOBRnnnnnLVNG RMBASEMENTKTCHNss.

This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in amulti-level building.In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can stillbe sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signalsare normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).www.PDF-Zoo.comfirealarmresources.com
