– 43 – Recommendations For Proper Protection The following recommendations for the location of fire and burglary detection devices help provide proper coverage for the protected premises. Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below. Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended. For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

– 44 – Recommendations For Proper Protection (cont’d) In addition, we recommend the following: Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps. Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used. Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed. Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long. Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion. Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building. In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).
– 45 – Emergency Evacuation Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association: 1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants. 2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other may be a window, should your path be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground. 3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room. 4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape. 5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. 6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk upright. Smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor. 7. Escape quickly; don’t panic. 8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back.
– 46 – Maintaining Your System Taking Care of Your System The components of your security system are designed to be as free of maintenance as possible. However, there are some things you can do to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition. 1. Test your system weekly. 2. Test the system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE SYSTEM). Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors Wireless sensors may not have been used in your security system Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects a low battery in any wireless sensor, including smoke detectors, the optional personal emergency transmitter, and the optional portable wireless keypad. (A low battery in a portable wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the keypad will display 00.) Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an installation. If you have a low battery in a wireless sensor, a low battery message is displayed on the keypad. In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also emits a single chirp sound once approximately every 20-30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery. If you do not replace a smoke detectors low battery, the smoke detector may sound continuously, as if there were a fire alarm. Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, the sensor(s) causing the low battery indication is still fully operational. Important: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as replacement.
– 47 – Maintaining Your System (cont’d) Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad The keypad’s warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF sequence (code plus OFF key), but the Keypads low battery message display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery condition in one or more of your sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a good battery signal to the control as soon as the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If the sensor is not activated, the display will automatically clear within approximately 1 hour. Routine Care • Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows. • Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors. • The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water or any other fluid on the units.
