labor or health department, building official, electrical inspector, or others having
statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department,
rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In
some cases, the property owner or their designated agent assumes the role of the
AHJ. At government installations, the commanding officer or department official
may be the AHJ.
In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize
performance and reduce the chance of false alarms from the alarm:
• Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms in the center of a room or hallway at
least 4 inches (10cm) from any walls or partitions.
• Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms so the top of the alarm is 4 to 12 inches
(10 to 31cm) below the ceiling.
• Locate in a suitable environment as follows:
• Temperature between 40°F (4.4°C) and 100°F (37.8°C)
• Humidity between 0 and 95% non-condensing
• Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers, and any other ventilation
source that may interfere with smoke entering the alarm.
• Mount smoke alarms on a firm permanent surface.
• Locate away from large metallic objects to reduce shielding of the wireless
transmitter’s signal.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
Wireless smoke alarms are very reliable, but may not work under all conditions.
No fire alarm provides total protection of life or property. Smoke alarms are not a
substitute for life insurance.
Smoke alarms require a source of power to work. This smoke alarm will not
operate and the alarm will not sound if batteries are dead or not installed properly.
Smoke alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someone who has taken
drugs or alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a bedroom.
Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block sound. This alarm is not
designed for the hearing impaired.
Smoke alarms may not always activate and provide warning early enough.
Smoke alarms only activate when enough smoke reaches the alarm. If a fire starts
in a chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed doors, or on a different level of
the property, enough smoke may not reach the alarm for it to be activated.
Smoke alarms are a significant help in reducing loss, injury and even death.
However, no matter how good a detection device is, nothing works perfectly under
every circumstance and we must warn you that you cannot expect a smoke alarm
to ensure that you will never suffer any damage or injury.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals.
It is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting
others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm
sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fire in
its early stages and sound an alarm giving the occupants time to exit the premises
safely.
AVOID FIRE HAZARDS
No detecon device can protect life in all situaons. Therefore, safeguards should
be taken to avoid potenally dangerous situaons as follows:
• Do not smoke in bed.
• Do not leave children home alone.
• Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
• Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping techniques to
keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage
area is an open invitation to fire.
• Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for
their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets.
• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home.
• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start. Be prepared.
IN CASE OF FIRE
In the event of a fire:
• Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables.
• In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary. The
clearest air is usually near the floor.
• If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob
to see if undue heat is present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against the
bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one hand against the
top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and
latch it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all
members of the household realize and understand this danger.
• Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to call the fire department.
The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to the professionals.
BE PREPARED
Pracce the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire:
• Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm
signal.
• Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is important that
children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis.
• Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that everyone meet
there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering
the house for a missing member who is actually safe.
• If you have children and/or physically challenged people residing in your
household, use window decals to help emergency personnel identify the
sleeping quarters of these individuals.
