RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage for
the Protected Premises.
Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors
Regarding the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the
National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
 Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household
as follows: For minimum protection, a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each
additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics
(finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
 For additional protection, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room,
bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage 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 or completely closed. Smoke could be
blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
 Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers)
are used.
 Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
 Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC
source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a
fire or an intrusion
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE
Recommendations for Proper Intrusion Protection
 For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises.
This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.
 In addition, we recommend that a communications backup be used in the security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to
the Central Monitoring Station if communications are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the cellular and/or Wi-
Fi/internet networks).
