• For best results to minimize nuisance alarms, interconnected alarms should be on a dedicated line. If not
on a dedicated line, it is suggested that the smoke alarms share a lighting load circuit that does not have a
dimmer associated with it. If receptacles must be placed on the same line it is suggested that they be placed
ahead of the smoke alarms (see Figure 9-D). This will prevent large voltage drops from occurring between
the first and last alarm in the circuit.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and detector guard)
has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
