NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in resi ential occupancies is
base primarily on early notification to occupants of the nee to
escape, followe by the appropriate egress actions by those
occupants. Fire warning systems for welling units are capable of
protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires.
Victims are often intimate with the fire, too ol or young, or
physically or mentally impaire such that they cannot escape
even when warne early enough that escape shoul be possible.
For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or
assiste escape or rescue are necessary.
• Smoke alarms are evices that can provi e early warning of
possible fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have
sensing limitations. Ionization sensing alarms may etect
invisible fire particles (associate with fast flaming fires) sooner
than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may
etect visible fire particles (associate with slow smol ering
fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires evelop in
ifferent ways an are often unpre ictable. For maximum
protection, Ki e recommen s that both Ionization an
Photoelectric alarms be installe .
• A battery powere alarm must have a battery of the specifie
type, in goo con ition an installe properly.
• Smoke alarms must be teste regularly to make sure the
batteries an the alarm circuits are in goo operating
con ition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provi e an alarm if smoke oes not
reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires
starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other si e of a
close oor or on a ifferent floor.
• If the alarm is locate outsi e the be room or on a ifferent
floor, it may not wake up a soun sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or rugs may also impair one’s ability to hear
the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm
shoul be installe in each sleeping area on every level of a
home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by provi ing an
early warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an
insurance policy. Home owners an renters shoul have
a equate insurance to protect their lives an property.

Step 1
Installation Guide:
I PORTANT: THIS ALAR UST BE OUNTED ON A
CEILING OR WALL. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AS A
TABLETOP DEVICE! INSTALL ONLY AS DETAILED!
A. Recommended Installation Locations:
Ki e Safety recommen s the installation of a Smoke Alarm in
the following locations. For maximum protection we suggest an
alarm be installe on each level of a multilevel home, inclu ing
every be room, hallways, finishe attics an basements. Put
alarms at both en s of be room, hallway or large room if hallway
or room is more than 30 ft (9.1m) long. If you have only one
alarm, ensure it is place in the hallway outsi e of the main
sleeping area, or in the main be room. Verify the alarm can be
hear in all sleeping areas.
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the
oor close . The close oor may prevent an alarm not locate
in that room from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat an
combustion pro ucts rise to the ceiling an sprea horizontally.
Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room
places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is
preferre in or inary
resi ential construction.
When mounting an
alarm on the ceiling,
locate it at a minimum
of 4” (10cm) from the
si e wall (see figure 1).
If installing the alarm on
the wall, use an insi e
wall with the top e ge of
the alarm at a minimum
of 4” (10cm) an a
maximum of 12”
(30.5cm) below the
ceiling (see figure 1).

Sloped Ceiling Installation:
The following information is from the National Fire Protection
Association an is liste in Fire Co e 72.
Install Smoke Alarms on slope , peake or cathe ral ceilings at,
or within 3 ft (0.9m) of the highest point (measure horizontally).
NFPA 72 states “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes
greater than 1 ft to 8 ft (.3 m-2.4 m) horizontally shall be locate
on the high si e of the room”.
NFPA 72 states “A row of alarms shall be space an locate
within 3 ft (0.9 m) of the peak of the ceiling measure
horizontally” (see figure 2).
Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shape ceilings (coffere ceilings)
on the highest portion of the ceiling or on the slope portion of
the ceiling within 30.5 cm (12”) vertically own from the highest
point (see figure 2).

Mo ern mobile homes have been esigne an built to be
energy efficient. Install Smoke alarms as recommen e above

through poorly insulate walls an roof. This may cause a
thermal barrier, which can prevent smoke from reaching an
alarm mounte on the ceiling. In such mobile homes install
your Smoke Alarm on an insi e wall with the top e ge of the
alarm at a minimum of 4 inches (10cm) an a maximum of 12
inches (30.5cm) below the ceiling (see figure 2). If you are not

that the outer walls an ceiling are either hot or col , install
your alarm on an insi e wall ONLY!
