NFPA Guidelines

The SMCSMXX-Z Smoke Detector family is designed to be used with a TouchScreen as part of the Fire and Life Safety signaling device. The SMCSMXX-Z has an
optical sensor capable of detecting smoke particles in the event of fire. It also contains an integrated heat sensor that is triggered if a room experiences a sharp
rise in tem

p

erature in the event of fire.

¾ NFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.1 Total (Complete)

Coverage
If required, total coverage shall include all
rooms, halls, storage areas, basements,
attics, lofts, spaces above suspended
ceilings, and other subdivisions and

dumbwaiter shafts, and chutes. Inaccessible
areas shall not be required to be protected
by detectors. (For exceptions, see NFPA 72.)

¾ NFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.2 Partial Coverage

If required, partial detection systems shall
be provided in all common areas and work
spaces, such as corridors, lobbies, storage

tenantless spaces in those environments
suitable for proper detector operation in
accordance with this code.

¾ NFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.3 Selective Coverage

Where codes, standards, laws, or authorities

Where non-required detection devices are
installed for a specific hazard, additional
non-required detection devices shall not be
required to be installed throughout an entire
room or building.

¾ NFPA 72, 2-2 Heat-Sensing Fire Detectors

Heat-sensing fire detectors shall be installed
in all areas where required by the NFPA
codes and standards or by the authority
having jurisdiction.

¾ NFPA 72, 8-1.4.1.3.2 Detection in New

Apartment Buildings
Approved, single-station smoke alarms shall

¾ Near fresh-air inlets or returns or very drafty

areas.

¾ In dead-air spaces at the top of peaked

ceilings or in corners where walls and ceiling
meet. Dead air can prevent smoke from
reaching a smoke alarm/detector.

¾ Near heating/air conditioning vents, fans,

and fresh air intakes, which can drive smoke
away from the smoke detector.

¾ In or near areas with combustion particles

(kitchens, garages, furnaces, hot-water
heaters, gas space heaters).

Technical Bulletin

This smoke detector is a member of SMC
Networks’ family of reliable, high-quality
products using the latest technology available.
Review the information in this section to ensure
you get the most out of the smoke detector. The
information in this guide is in accordance with
NFPA 72 and/or CAN/ULC-S524, depending on
country of installation.

Pre-installation Considerations

Install the smoke detector in accordance with
the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA)
Standard 72, Chapters 2 and 8. Depending on
the application, you may need to reference
other chapters of NFPA 72 or NFPA 101.

Choosing an Installation Location

When choosing an installation location,
consider:

¾ Use of structure and type of construction
¾ Contents you want to protect and their

burning characteristics

¾ Human occupancy
¾ Total area to be monitored
¾ Ceiling height and surface condition
¾ Air movement and vent locations
¾ Obstructions
¾ Deflections

After considering these factors, choose a
location:

¾ Where the temperature range is between

40° and 100° F (4.4° and 37.8° C).

¾ Where the humidity is between 0 and 90%

noncondensing.

¾ Away from ventilation sources that can

prevent smoke from reaching the smoke
detector.

¾ That is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from

bathrooms.

When placing the smoke detector on a ceiling,
mount it in the center of the room or hallway,
at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or
partitions.

When mounting the smoke detector on a wall,
place it so the top is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm)
below the ceiling.

In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled
ceilings, place smoke detectors 3 feet (.9 m)
down or away from the highest point of the
ceiling.

If mounting to suspended ceiling tile, secure the
tile with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile
removal.

Note: The smoke detector does not provide

warnings for fires resulting from explosions,
smoking in bed, or other furniture; ignition of
flammable liquids, vapors and gasses; and
children playing with matches or lighters.

Locations to Avoid

¾ Areas where normal ambient temperature

exceeds 100° F (37.8° C).

¾ Damp or humid areas, or near bathrooms

with showers.

¾ On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens,

where there is no transom between the
kitchen and such rooms.

¾ Within 10 feet (3 m) of fluorescent light

fixtures.

¾ Dirty, dusty, insect infested areas.

Installing Batteries

A. Slide the battery compartment cover away

from the smoke detector to unsnap it and
lift it off.

B. Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V

lithium batteries into the smoke detector
battery compartment and replace the
battery compartment cover.

C. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the

smoke detector. The smoke detector ships
with a dust cover for protection on
construction sites with dusty environments.
