National Fire Protection Association Smoke Detector Recommendations
LYNX Touch is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N
UL UL
UL UL
LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed.
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 #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. 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.
