Special Compliance - First Alert Onelink AC10-500B User Manual

Special Compliance Considerations
This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health
care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already
exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke
Alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/
regulations.
This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many
people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing
homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection
systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings
which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this Smoke
Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities. In new construction, most building codes
require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered
Smoke Alarms can be used as specified by local building codes. Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your Fire Department for detailed
fire protection requirements in buildings not defined as "households".
HUD MAP Program Certain HUD battery powered Smoke Alarm applications, especially those that fall under HUD
223(f) MAP (Multi-family Accelerated Processing), may require a 10 Year sealed tamper resistant battery. This alarm
meets that requirement.
