WARNINGS:
This smoke and heat detector is designed for use in a single residential unit only, which means that it
should be used inside a single family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in lobbies,
hallways, basements, or another apartment in multi-family buildings, unless there are already working
detectors in each family unit. Smoke and heat detectors placed in common areas outside of the
individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide early warning to residents.
In multi-family buildings, each family living unit should set up its own detectors.
This detector is not to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses, industrial or commercial
buildings, and special purpose non-residential buildings require special fire detection and alarm
systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems for places
where many people live or work, such as hotels or motels. The same is true of dormitories, hospitals;
nursing homes or group homes of any kind, even if they were once single-family homes. Please refer
NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D, and 72E for smoke and heat
detector requirements for fire protection in buildings not defined as "households".
SELECTING A LOCATION
Smoke and heat detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA Standard 74 (National
Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169). For complete coverage in
residential units, smoke and heat detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas,
basements, and attics in each family living unit. Minimum coverage is one detector on each floor and
one in each sleeping area and attic in each family living unit.
Install a smoke and heat detector in the
hallway outside every separate bedroom
area, as shown in Figure 1. Two detectors
are required in homes with two bedroom
areas, as shown in Figure 2.
Install a smoke and heat detector on every
floor of a multi-floor home or apartment, as
shown in Figure 3.
Install a minimum of two detectors in any
household.
Install a smoke and heat detector inside
every bedroom.
Install smoke and heat detectors at both
ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is
more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
