National Fire Protection Association's Smoke Detector Recommendations - First Alert ReadyGuard-R User Manual

National Fire Protection Association's
Smoke Detector Recommendations
ReadyGuard-R is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications.
With regard to the number and placement of smoke and heat detectors, we subscribe to
the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA)
Standard #74 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as
follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit,
including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
In addition, 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.
