Selecting a Location
Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of smoke
alarms. This equipment should be installed in accordance with the
National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard 72. See Figure
6.
A-11-8.3.a Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms in Existing
Construction.
The major threat from fire in a family living unit occurs at night when
everyone is asleep. The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas
comes from fires in the remainder of the unit. Therefore, a smoke
alarm(s) is best located between the bedroom areas and the rest of the
unit. In units with only one bedroom area on one floor, the smoke
alarm(s) should be located as shown in Figure 6 A.
In family living units with more than one bedroom area or with more
than one floor, more than one smoke alarm is required, as shown in
Figure 6 B.
In addition to smoke alarms outside of the sleeping areas, the installa-
tion of a smoke alarm on each additional story of the family living
unit, including the basement, is required. These installations are shown
in Figure 6 C. The living area smoke alarm should be installed in the
living room or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both
locations. The basement smoke alarm should be installed in close
proximity to the stairway leading to the floor above. Where installed
on an open-joisted ceiling, the alarm should be placed on the bottom of
the joists. The alarm should be positioned relative to the stairway to
intercept smoke coming from a fire in the basement before the smoke
enters the stairway.
Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms in New Construction.
All of the smoke alarms specified for existing construction are required
and, in addition, a smoke alarm is required in each bedroom.
Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?
The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early
warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas
protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recom-
mended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke
alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas
include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility
room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms. The
installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished),
or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasion-
ally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.

Since regulations pertaining to smoke alarm/detector installation vary
from state to state, contact the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be a federal, state, local, or
other regional department or individual such as a fire chief, fire marshal,
chief of a fire prevention bureau, 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.
General Guidelines
•
Before mounting units, program (learn) them into panel memory and
perform a sensor test from the unit's intended location, to ensure
good RF communication to the panel.
•
Locate units in environmentally controlled areas where the
temperature range is between 40° and 100° F (4.4° and 37.8° C) and
the humidity is between 0 and 90% noncondensing.
•
Locate units away from ventilation sources that can prevent smoke
from reaching the unit.
•
Locate ceiling mounted units in the center of the room or hallway, at
least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or partitions.
•
Locate wall mounted units so the top of the unit is 4 to 12 inches
(10 to 31cm) below the ceiling.
•
In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate units 3 feet
(.9 meters) down or away from the highest point of the ceiling.
•
When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be secured
with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile removal.
Note
Do not mount the unit to the metal runners of sus-
pended ceiling grids. The metal runners can draw the
magnet's field away from the unit's reed switch,
causing a false tamper alarm.
Locations to Avoid
Do not install alarms:
•
in or near areas where combustion particles are normally present
such as in kitchens, garages, near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas
space heaters.
•
on the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is no transom
between the kitchen and such rooms.
•
in damp or very humid areas or next to bathrooms with showers.
Locate alarms at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from bathrooms.
•
in very cold or very hot areas.
•
in dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas.
•
near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Heating/air
conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes can drive smoke away
from alarms.
•
in dead air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in corners where
walls and ceiling meet. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching
an alarm.
•
near fluorescent light fixtures. Locate alarms at least 10 feet (3
meters) away from these fixtures.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that
purpose.
