SMOKE DETECTOR LIMITATIONS

• Smoke detectors will not sense a fire if the smoke does not reach the

sensor or if the air temperature does not reach 135° F. In order for a

smoke detector to sense smoke, it must be installed in the immediate

vicinity of the fire. In addition, smoke from fires in chimneys, in walls, on

roofs, in remote parts of the building, or on another level from where the

smoke detector is located, may not reach the smoke detector quickly

enough for occupants to escape unharmed. For this reason, installer

shall install smoke detectors on every level, in every sleeping area,

and in every bedroom of the household.

• Smoke detectors may not be heard. The alarm horn in this smoke

detector meets or exceeds current Underwriter's Laboratories standards.

However, if the smoke detector is not located in the same room as the

occupant, or if it is blocked by a closed door or normal noise, the alarm horn

may not be heard. In addition, sound sleepers, or persons who are under

the influence of drugs or alcohol may not hear the alarm or be able to react

to it. Therefore, locate this smoke detector, which has a sounder rated

at 85 dB at 10 feet, on every level, in every sleeping area, and in every

bedroom of the household.

• In general, detectors may not always warn you about fires caused by

carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions,

escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded elec-

trical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.

• Smoke detectors are not fool-proof. Like all electronic devices, smoke

detectors have limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every

kind of fire every time. In addition, smoke from slow, smoldering fires

rises slowly and may not reach the smoke detector until actual flame

breaks out. This type of smoke may not reach the smoke detector in time

for occupants to escape unharmed.

• Smoke detectors are not a substitute for life or property insurance.

Though smoke detectors have been responsible for saving many lives, they

are not warranted or implied to protect lives or property in the event of a fire.

• To keep your equipment in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance

is required per the manufacturer's recommendations and UL and NFPA

standards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, the

National Fire Alarm Code, shall be followed. A preventative maintenance

agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's represen-

tative. Though smoke detectors are designed for long life, they may fail at

any time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm equipment, or any component of

that system which fails shall be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

Where to Install Smoke Detectors

Warning: As a minimum requirement, smoke detectors must be in-

stalled in accordance with the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)

Standard 72, Chapter 5, which defines the standards for the National

Fire Alarm Code (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch

Park, MA 02269-9101). In addition, observe all local and national

building and electrical codes.

Where Smoke Detectors Should NOT Be Installed

• In or near areas where combustion particles are normally present

such as kitchens; in garages where there are particles of combustion

in vehicle exhausts; near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space

heaters. Install detectors at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from

kitchens and other areas where combustion particles are nor-

mally present.

• On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is no transom

between the kitchen and these rooms. Instead, install the smoke

detector on an inside wall, furthest from the kitchen (See Figure 5). Be

sure not to install smoke detectors within 4" of the ceiling or any corner

or more than 6" from the ceiling.

AIR RETURN

CORRECT

Figure 5. Recommended smoke detector locations

to avoid air streams with combustion particles

• In damp or very humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers.

The moisture in humid air can enter the sensing chamber as water

vapor, then cool and condense into droplets that cause a nuisance

alarm. Install detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from

bathrooms.

• In very cold or very hot rooms or areas. Operating temperature of

the smoke detector is 40°F to 100°F (4°C to 38°C).

• In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas. Dust and dirt can build up

on the detector's sensing chamber and make it overly sensitive, or can

block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the detector from

sensing smoke.

•

Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Air

conditioners, heaters, fans, and fresh air intakes and returns can drive

smoke away from smoke detectors, making the detectors less effective.

• In dead air spaces at the top of a peaked ceiling or wall/ceiling intersect.

Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a detector.

• Near fluorescent light fixtures. Install detectors at least 10 feet

(3 meters) away from such light fixtures.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

1. DON'T PANIC — escape may depend on clear thinking.

2. Get out of the house following the planned escape routes, if possible.

Do not stop to dress or to collect anything.

3. Open doors carefully only after feeling them to see if they are hot. If

a door is hot, do not open it— follow an alternate escape route.

4. Keep close to the floor — smoke and hot gases rise. Breathe through

a cloth (wet, if possible) and take short shallow breaths.

5. Keep doors and windows closed unless it is necessary to open them

for escape.

6. Meet at your meeting place after leaving your home.

7. Call the local fire department as soon as possible from outside

the home.

8. Never re-enter a burning building.
