Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection Smoke Detectors for Minimum Protection Smoke Detectors for Additional Protection BEDROOM Heat-Activated Detectors THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion.

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.

Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.

Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.

Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door.

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.The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended. 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.
