A-8-1.2.1.a Locating Required Smoke Alarms in Existing Construction
The major threat from fire in a family living unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep. The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fires in the remainder of the unit. Therefore, a smoke alarm(s) is best located between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one bedroom area on one floor, the smoke alarm(s) should be located as shown above. In family living units with more than one bedroom area or with more than one floor, more than one smoke alarm is required as shown above.
In addition to smoke alarms outside of the sleeping areas, the installation of a smoke alarm on each additional story of the family living unit, including the basement, is required as shown in figure 4.
The living area smoke alarm should be installed in the living room or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke alarm should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the floor above. Where installed on an

All of the smoke alarms specified in
A-8-1.2.1.c Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?
The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection.
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms.
The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.
Since regulations pertaining to smoke alarm/detector installation vary from state to state, contact the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be a federal, state, local, or other regional department or individual such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of
a fire prevention bureau, labor or health department, building official, electrical inspector, or others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In some cases, the property owner or their designated agent assumes the role of the AHJ. At government installations, the commanding officer or department official may be the AHJ.
General Guidelines
•Before mounting alarms, program them into control panel and perform a sensor test from alarm’s intended location, to ensure good RF communication to control panel.
•Locate alarm in environmentally controlled areas where temperature range is between 40° and 100° F (4.4° and 37.8° C) and humidity is between 0 and 90% noncondensing.
•Locate alarms away ventilation sources that can prevent smoke from reaching alarm.
•Locate ceiling mounted alarms in center of room or hallway, at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or partitions.
•Locate wall mounted alarms so top of the alarm is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below ceiling.
•In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate alarms 3 feet (.9 meters) down or away from highest point of the ceiling.
•When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, tile must be secured with appropriate fastener to prevent tile removal.
Note: Do not mount alarm to the metal runners of suspended ceiling grids. The metal runners can draw the magnetic field away from the tamper switch, causing a false tamper alarm.

Locations to Avoid
Do not install smoke alarms:
•in or near areas where combustion particles are normally present such as in kitchens, garages, near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters.
•on the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is no transom between the kitchen and such rooms.
•in damp or very humid areas or next to bathrooms with showers. Locate detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from bathrooms.
•in very cold or very hot areas.
•near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Heating/air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes can drive smoke away from smoke alarms.
•in dead air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in corners where walls and ceiling meet. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm.
•near fluorescent light fixtures. Locate smoke alarms at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from these fixtures.
Limitations
Smoke alarms may not work under all conditions. Smoke alarms cannot provide total protection of life or property and are not a substitute for insurance. All alarms are subject to possible compromise
or
•This smoke alarm will not operate and an alarm will not sound if its batteries are dead, removed, or not installed correctly.
•Radio signals transmitted by this smoke alarm may be blocked or reflected by metal objects. Adjacent devices or systems using radio frequency signals may interfere with the operation of this alarm. Test the system weekly to ensure signals are transmitted and received properly.
•Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block or reduce the alarm sound from this alarm. This alarm is not designed for the hearing impaired.
•Smoke alarms cannot detect smoke inside chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door.
•Smoke alarms may not detect smoke on other levels of the building.
•Smoke alarms may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.

Troubleshooting
The following describes how the alarm indicates a fault condition. Correct fault conditions as soon as possible.
The light stops working (no flashing or turning on) if the alarm sensitivity is not within the normal range, or if an unserviceable fault is detected. You can test the alarm sensitivity as follows:
1.Press and hold Test/Silence button for two seconds, then release it. The alarm performs a
2.Count the number of light flashes. Use the following reference to determine what action is necessary. Flashes Indicates Action
0- 1 Unserviceable fault
Remove batteries for 2 - 3 minutes.
2- 3 Alarm sensitivity is increasing
Clean alarm using a dry or damp (water only) cloth to remove dust/dirt. Remove batteries for 2 - 3 minutes.
4- 7 Normal sensitivity range No action required.
8- 9 Alarm sensitivity is decreasing
Clean alarm using a dry or damp (water only) cloth to remove dust/dirt. Remove batteries for 2 - 3 minutes.
The alarm stops transmitting supervisory signals if the alarm has an unserviceable fault or is not sensitive enough, causing the control panel to indicate the detector is in a supervisory condition. However, the alarm can still transmit alarm signals.
Call
The alarm transmits a trouble signal when the alarm is too sensitive.

Fire Prevention and Escape
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm giving the occupants time to exit the premises safely.
Avoid Fire Hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous situations as follows:
•Do not smoke in bed.
•Do not leave children home alone.
•Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
•Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation to fire.
•Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets
•Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home.
•Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start. Be prepared.
In Case of Fire
In the event of a fire, you should do the following:
•Leave immediately. Do not stop to pack or search for valuables.
•In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor.
•If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one hand against the top. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all members of the household realize and understand this danger.
•Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to the professionals.
Be Prepared
•Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire:
•Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal.
•Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is important that children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis.
•Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someone
•If you have children and/or physically challenged people residing in your household, use window decals to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping quarters of these individuals.
WARNING!
Smoke alarms cannot provide warnings for fires resulting from:
•explosions
•smoking in bed or other furniture
•ignition of flammable liquids, vapors, or gases
•children playing with matches or fire
