  • Page 11: Recommended Locations

    7. Recommended Locations • For rooms larger than 250 sq. ft. the notification device should be located within 4.88 m (16’) of the pillow when located in a sleeping area. • Locate the first strobe/smoke alarm in the bedroom in which the hearing impaired individual sleeps. Try to monitor the exit path, as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit.
  • Page 12 NFPA 72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 0.3 m in 2.4 m (1 ft in 8 ft) horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced and located within 0.9 m (3 ft) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally.”...
  • Page 13 • Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not located in that room from waking the sleeper. • Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.
  • Page 14: Locations To Avoid

    8. Locations to Avoid • Do not place in direct sunlight or install near high ambient light areas; the bright light may reduce one’s ability to notice the strobe light. • In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile. •...
