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

With regard to 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.

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 radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can

still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order

(alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).
