1. Heat Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds

Heat alarm pattern is three long beeps, a 1.5 second pause, and three long beeps repeating. The red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern.

• Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the

importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help.

• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or

picking up valuables.

• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping

through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.

• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, stay close to the floor where the air is cleaner.

Crawl if necessary, and breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.

• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.

• Call the fire department from your cell phone outside, or from your neighbor’s home-not from yours!

• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.

• There are situations where an alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA

Standard 72. For instance:

a) smoking in bed

b) leaving children home alone

c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

4. Introduction, Product Features and Specifications

Introduction

The HDX-135Z-433 supervised heat alarm with freeze sensor is a self-diagnostic alarm with wireless interconnection, 10-yr sealed battery and sensor life, built-in sounder, diagnostic/status LED, integrated fixed temperature and rate-of-rise heat sensor and a pre-freeze condition indicator.

The HDX-135Z-433 uses a 918MHz transceiver for interconnection communication between networked alarms. Up to 24 alarms can be a part of the same interconnected network.

The HDX-135Z-433 uses 10-year sealed-in lithium batteries ensuring continuous operation over the 10 year life of the alarm. This eliminates worry about battery removal or unauthorized deactivation of the alarm. The self-activation feature activates the alarm when attached to the mounting bracket. At the end of alarm life, the unit will chirp, indicating the alarm is in need of replacement (see Troubleshooting Guide).

To help identify the date to replace the alarm, a label has been affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the “Install date” in the space provided, and then write in the “Replace by” date (10 years from initial power up) in permanent marker on the label prior to installing the alarm.

5. Limitations of Heat Alarms

• Heat alarms are not designed to protect life safety against fire and smoke. In most fires, hazardous

levels of toxic gases, smoke and heat can build up before a heat alarm will operate. In cases where life safety is an issue, heat alarms should only be used to provide an added source of information and as a supplement to the smoke alarm installation. Heat alarms do not always detect fires, the fire may be a slow smoldering (smoke producing) low heat producing type, the fire may be in a different room than the alarm, or the heat from the fire may bypass the alarm. This alarm will not detect smoke, gases or flames.

• Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to

help insure maximum detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the home. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.

• Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification to occupants of

the need to escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants.

• Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in po-

tentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good condition and installed

properly (This model has a sealed battery).

• Heat alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the battery and the alarm circuits are in good operating

condition.

• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.

• Heat alarms cannot provide an alarm if heat does not reach the alarm. Therefore, heat alarms may not

sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different floor. If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper. The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair ones ability to hear the alarm. For maximum protection heat alarms should only be used as a supplement to smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home and be interconnecte with each other and the heat alarms.

• Although heat alarms when combined with smoke alarms, can help save lives by providing an early

warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their lives and property..

NOTE: This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.

Page 14

6. Recommended Locations for Heat Alarms

• The most favorable mounting location for a heat alarm is on the ceiling in the center of the room. At this

location the alarm is closest to all areas of the room (see Figure 1). EXCEPTION: When the mounting surface might become considerably warmer or cooler than the room, such as a poorly insulated ceiling, below an unfinished attic, or an exterior wall. In these cases the alarm should be mounted on an inside wall.

• If the alarm cannot be located in the center of the room, an off-center location can be used on the

ceiling. When off center mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) from the side wall (see Figure 1).

• If a ceiling mounting location is not feasible the next logical location for mounting heat alarms is on the

side wall. When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see Figure 1).

• Install Heat Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3 ft (0.9m) of the highest point

(measured horizontally). NFPA 72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4m) horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row of alarms shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (see Figure 3).

• In rooms with open joists or beams, all ceiling mounted alarms shall be located on the bottom of such

beams (see Figure 2).

• Alarms installed on an open-joisted ceiling shall have their smooth ceiling spacing reduced to no more

than half of the listed spacing when measured at right angles to the solid joist (See Figure 2).

• UL recommended coverage per heat alarm is 2500 square feet. NOTE: Maximum coverage

established by U.L. is based on providing equal response time as sprinkler devices spaced at 10-Ft intervals (100 Sq/Ft) on a smooth ceiling approximately 15 feet high. Higher ceilings may adversely affect response time and earlier response time may be obtained by reducing the spacing between alarms.

• UL recommended spacing between heat alarms is 50 feet.

• Maximum distance from wall is 25 feet. NOTE: Maximum distance is from any wall or ceiling projection

extending down more than 12 inches.

Page 15

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy efficient. Install heat alarms as recommended above (refer to RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS and Figure 1).

In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which can prevent the heat from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such units, install the heat alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see Figure 1).

If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall.

WARNING: TEST YOUR HEAT ALARM OPERATION AFTER MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN

IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.

This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s 72 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).

7. Locations to Avoid

• In front of forced air supply ducts used for heating and air conditioning, near ceiling fans, or other high air flow

areas.

• In an area where the temperature may fall below -20ºF or rise above 100ºF.

• Near fluorescent lights – electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.

• Heat alarms are not to be used with alarm guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) have been

evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

• In very humid areas (above 95% RH, non-condensing). Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.

• Alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air

supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas. Do not install near fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather.

8. Installation / Activation / Wireless

You do NOT need a home wi-fi system to use these units. Multiple wireless units create their own independent wireless alarm network (wireless interconnect between multiple alarms).

WARNING: THIS ALARM SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL AND ACTIVATE THIS ALARM WILL PREVENT

PROPER OPERATION AND RESPONSE TO HAZARDS.

If you are installing alarms and will use the wireless interconnect function, proceed to section

8.1 “Set Up a Wireless Alarm Network (Wireless Interconnect)” If you are not using the wireless alarm-to-alarm interconnect function, then proceed with the following two steps.

1. After selecting the proper location for the alarm, attach the mounting bracket (trim plate) to the wall or ceiling. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket (trim plate) must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted or horizontal when wall mounted.

2. Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket (trim plate) by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction.

NOTE: Installing the alarm on the mounting bracket (trim plate) will automatically activate the battery. The power up sequence is indicated by the LED ring slowly glowing GREEN on/off one time.

NOTE: Alarms will emit a series of slow RED LED glowing on/off as the alarm searches for a wireless network. If you are intending to use the alarms without the wireless interconnect function, ignore these notifications, and the wireless interconnect function will eventually turn off (~15 minutes) OR to immediately finish this process, push the Test/Hush button until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds). The LED will change to glowing GREEN on/off every second. Repeat the button push/hold for another 4 seconds, until two beeps are heard, and then release the button. This will close the network.

• When the network has been closed, each alarm’s GREEN LED will change from glowing on/off every

second to flashing once every 60 seconds to indicate normal operation.

NOTE: The battery activation is a one-time feature. After activation, the battery cannot be turned off, and can only be discharged at the end of unit life. If the alarm is removed from the mounting plate, the battery will remain active. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section to de-energize the alarm.

Page 19

8.1 Set up a Wireless Alarm Network (Wireless Interconnect)

Remove all wireless alarms from their packaging (suggest using a table and activating all alarms in a group).

2. Power on all alarms by attaching the alarms onto the mounting bracket (trim plate) to activate the battery, or by carefully turning the red activation wheel with a screwdriver. See Figure 4.

•

The GREEN LED will fade on and off once, then the RED LED will begin fading on/off every 3 seconds.

NOTE: If no further steps are taken within 15 minutes of initial power up, the wireless function will turn off. The alarm will then perform as a single station alarm.

WIRELESS

These models have wireless alarm interconnect capability. When one interconnected alarm sounds an alarm, all other compatible wireless alarms in the wireless alarm network will alarm.

A maximum of 24 compatible devices may be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. This alarm is not designed to be interconnected with other manufacturer’s products, unless otherwise specified.

WIRELESS INTERCONNECT MODEL COMPATIBILITY

The following Interlogix models can be interconnected using wireless interconnect:

• SDX-135Z-433, HDX-135Z-433

• Maximum distance between wireless interconnect models is 300 feet in open air.

Figure 4

Page 20

3. After all alarms are powered on and the RED LED is glowing on/off, push and hold the Test/Hush button

on any one alarm until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds) and then release the button. This alarm will automatically create a new wireless network.

• A brief series of quick GREEN LED blinks will occur and then the GREEN LED will fade on/off every

second on the button-pushed alarm (network creator).

4. Wait for the other wireless alarms to join the wireless network.

• A brief series of quick GREEN LED blinks will occur and then the GREEN LED will fade on/off

approximately every 3 seconds.

NOTE: At this point, you can push/release the test button once on any alarm, and the RED LED will flash the number of enrolled alarms.

5. Wait for the network setup to timeout (approximately 15 minutes), OR to immediately close the network,

push the Test/Hush button until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds) and then release the button. The network can be closed from any device enrolled in the network.

• When the network has been closed, each alarm’s GREEN LED will change from glowing on/off

every second to flashing once every 60 seconds to indicate normal operation.

6. After selecting the proper location for your alarm, attach the mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling. To

ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted or horizontal when wall mounted.

• Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket (trim plate) by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction. NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions (every 90 degrees).

7. The alarm is now activated. After installation / activation, test your alarm as described in

Operation and Testing section.

Page 21

8.2 Adding Alarms to an Existing Wireless

Interconnected Network

For various reasons, you might want to add additional alarms to your existing wireless interconnection network.

1. Remove the new alarm from its packaging.

2. Choose one existing, installed alarm (not the new alarm). Place and hold a magnet for four seconds on the cover of the existing alarm in the network at the designated location per Figure 5. The alarm will beep once when the magnet is detected, then the alarm will beep twice and will start flashing the RED LED rapidly to indicate the alarm is in System Test Mode.

3. Push and hold the test button on the same alarm (in System Test Mode) until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds), and then release the button.

• The button-pushed alarm will cause the GREEN LED to fade on/off on each alarm in the existing

network to signal that the wireless interconnection network has been opened.

NOTE: From this point, you have fifteen (15) minutes to power up the new alarm.

4. Power up the new wireless alarm by twisting the alarm onto the mounting bracket (trim plate) to activate the battery, or by carefully turning the red activation wheel with a screwdriver. See Figure 4.

• After initial GREEN LED on/off sequence, the new alarm’s RED LED will fade on/off every 3 seconds as it searches for the network.

• A fast GREEN LED flickering, followed by a slow GREEN LED fading on/off confirms the new alarm

has found and joined the existing wireless interconnection network.

5. Wait fifteen (15) minutes for the network setup to timeout, OR to immediately close the network, push and hold the test button on any device enrolled in the network until two beeps are heard (approximately 4 seconds), and then release the button.

• GREEN LED flashes once every 60 seconds on the new alarm to indicate normal operation.

6. After selecting the proper location for your alarm, attach the mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting bracket must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted or horizontal when wall mounted.

• Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket (trim plate) by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction. NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in four positions (every 90 degrees).

7. The alarm is now activated. After installation / activation, test your alarm as described in Operation and Testing section.

Page 22

8.3 Resetting an Alarm’s Wireless Interconnect

Settings

If you experience a delay or problem during wireless interconnection setup, you might need to start over as if the alarm is first removed from its packaging. Also, this “out-of-box” mode can be used to attempt to reset/clear a network error condition.

NOTE: The magnetic switch is disabled when network is open and GREEN LED is glowing on/off. The magnetic switch is also disabled when the alarm is in “out-of-box” mode and has not been enrolled in the network. Press and hold Test/Hush button for 4 seconds to close network before attempting to reset device to the “out-of-box” mode.

1. Place and hold a magnet for 4 seconds on the cover at the designated location per Figure 5. The alarm will chirp once when the magnet is detected, then the alarm will chirp twice and the button will start flashing the RED LED rapidly to indicate System Test Mode has been entered.

2. Press and hold the Test/Hush button for approximately 8 seconds while the RED LED is rapidly flashing. After 4 seconds, two beeps will occur (do not release the button). After 8 seconds, three beeps will occur. The button can now be released.

3. Observe two cycles of RED LED on/off, one cycle of GREEN LED on/off

4. The RED LED will begin fading on/off every 3 seconds.

5. If no further steps are taken within 15 minutes of resetting the alarm to “Out-of-Box” mode, the interconnect function will turn off. The alarm will then perform as a single station alarm.

9. Operation and Testing

Operation

The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete.When heat is detected, the alarm sounds a loud 85dB alarm. See Sections 1 and 2 for alarm signal descriptions.

Testing (Push To Test Button)

Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the test button quickly. A quick beep will confirm the button has been pushed.

See Other Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table. The alarm will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are working. If the alarm does not sound, the alarm must be replaced. Erratic or low volume sound (or no sound) coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm and it should be returned for service. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section to determine how to prepare the unit for shipment or disposal.

To test all alarms connected in the same network start System Test mode by placing a magnet in the location shown in Figure 5 and holding it for four seconds until the alarm chirps twice and the RED LED begins blinking rapidly, and then press and release the Test/Hush button. All alarms will perform a self-test.

WARNING: Due to the loudness (85+ decibels) of the alarm, always stand about 2.5 ft (0.7M)

away from the alarm or use ear protection when testing.

WARNING: DO NOT use an open flame to test your Alarm. You could damage the Alarm or

ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.

Page 24

AMBIENT LIGHT SENSING

This alarm samples the ambient light conditions of its location and, if possible, determines a Night/Day cycle. A valid Night/Day cycle will delay alarm chirps during the night until the next Day cycle begins.

When chirping begins during the next Day cycle, you can temporarily silence End of Alarm Life or Network Error chirps by pressing the Test/Hush button. Low Battery chirps cannot be silenced.

If a valid Night / Day cycle has not been established because the alarm is located in either a constantly dark or lighted location, the chirps mentioned above will not be delayed at night. Moving the alarm to a different location might allow the alarm to determine a valid Night / Day cycle.

WARNING: REPLACE ALARM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN IN END OF ALARM LIFE OR LOW

BATTERY MODE.

10. Recognizing Nuisance Alarms

SMART HUSH® Control and Locate Feature

Heat Nuisance

HUSH

If you know why the alarm is sounding, and you can verify that it is not a life threatening situation, you can push the button on the initiating alarm (green LED flashing every second, interrupted by T3 RED LED alarm pattern) to silence the alarm for 8-10 minutes. If the unit does not detect a dangerous situation, that alarm, and all interconnected alarms will silence. After the HUSH® period, the heat alarm will automatically reset and sound the alarm if heat is still present. You can use HUSH® repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.

NOTE : If the alarm continues to sound its alarm, the heat in the area is too high and a dangerous situation

may exist – take emergency action..

Locate

In an interconnected system (all alarms will be alarming together), an alarm that detects smoke or heat, and initiates an alarm is called the “initiating alarm unit.” Initiating alarm units will be flashing the Green LED every second during alarm (interrupted by the T3 RED LED alarm pattern). Depending on alarm locations, and the location of the source of smoke or heat, it is possible to have more than one initiating alarm. If you suspect a nuisance alarm situation, you can use LOCATE feature to help you locate the initiating alarm unit(s) in a wireless alarm interconnect system. Push the button on any non-initiating wireless alarm, and ALL wireless alarms EXCEPT the initiating alarm unit(s) will silence for two minutes. You can use the LOCATE feature repeatedly until you find the initiating alarm unit(s), or the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.

NOTE: HUSH

and Locate features are dependent on the type of models enrolled in the wireless interconnect system. Non-wireless models cannot be enrolled in the wireless interconnect system and therefore cannot receive the wireless Locate feature; they will continue to alarm until the initiating alarm is Hushed or the Smoke/Heat condition clears.

HAZARD IF MISTREATED. DO NOT RECHARGE, DISASSEMBLE, HEAT ABOVE 100°C (212°F) OR DISPOSE OF IN FIRE.

Low battery

This alarm is equipped with a low battery monitor circuit. If the battery capacity can no longer provide adequate power for all alarm functions, the low battery condition will occur. See Troubleshooting Guide.

The alarm battery must be discharged and the alarm must be replaced within 7 days of the first occurrence of the “Low Battery Warning” to provide continuous alarm protection. Reference the “Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery” section for battery discharging instructions.

12. Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery

WARNING: Discharging the alarm batter y is PERMANENT. Once the alarm battery has been

placed in discharge mode, it cannot be reactivated!

• Once discharged, the alarm will NO LONGER DETECT HEAT.

• Once the alarm battery is discharged, the battery is depleted and the alarm will no longer function.

• Once the alarm battery has been discharged, the alarm cannot be mounted onto the mounting plate or

reactivated.

WARNING: Failure to discharge alarm battery as instructed prior to disposal may create poten-

tial for lithium battery related fire or hazard.

CAUTION: Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.

To Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery:

• Rotate the alarm counterclockwise to remove it from the

mounting plate.

• Push in the dashed area with a screwdriver to break

tab.(Figure 6)

• After the tab is broken, use the screwdriver to turn the red

slotted arrow to the "Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery" location. This will disable the alarm, stop the low battery or end of unit life “chirps” and render the alarm safe for disposal by draining the battery (Figure 7).

13. Cleaning Your Alarm

YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR

You can clean the alarm by using a vacuum cleaner hose and vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. Use only water to dampen the cloth, use of detergents or cleaners could damage the alarm.

If the alarm is in fault mode and the AMBER LED is blinking a fault code of 2, 3, 8, or 9 flashes (after a Test/ Hush button push and the temporal test sequence), the alarm may be in need of cleaning. After cleaning, press the Test/Hush button. If the fault does not clear, the alarm needs to be replaced.

• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the alarm.

• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the alarm.

• Do not paint the alarm.

• Never attempt to disassemble the alarm to clean inside. This action will void your warranty.

Storing the alarm in a plastic bag during any of the above projects will protect the sensor from damage. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates are used, the area must be well ventilated.

WARNING: Reinstall the alarm as soon as possible to assure continuous protection.

14. Good Safety Habits

Develop and Practice a Plan of Escape

Practice 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 or physically challenged people residing in your household, use window decals to

help emergency personnel identify the sleeping quarters of these individuals.

Current studies have shown alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that 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.

Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.

Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.

Fire Prevention

Never smoke in bed, or leave cooking food unattended. Teach children never to play with matches or lighters! Train everyone in the home to recognize the smoke alarm pattern and to leave the home using their escape plan when it’s heard. Know how to do “Stop, Drop and Roll” if clothes catch on fire, and how to crawl low under smoke. Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage.NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)

Fire Safety in the Home: NFPA 72 is intended to provide reasonable safety for persons in family living units. Reasonable fire safety can be produced through the following three-point program: (1) Minimizing fire hazards (2) Providing fire-warning equipment (3) Having and practicing an escape plan.

Page 30

The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72, reads as follows:

Where required by other governing laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy, approved single and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:

(1) In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms

(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a sleeping room,

with the distance measured along a path of travel

(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements

(4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and

excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics

(5) In the living area(s) of a guest suite

(6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility)

WARNING: Heat alarms must be used in conjunction with smoke alarms.

SMOKE DETECTION – ARE MORE SMOKE ALARMS DESIREABLE?

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 recommended 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 attics (finished or unfinished), garages, or within 6’ of a heating or cooking appliance is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.

BEST PRACTICE SUGGESTION

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside the bedrooms), heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.
