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.

In addition, we recommend the following:

•

Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.

•

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 inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air
conditioners or humidifiers) are used.

•

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
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. This will ensure that alarm signals
can be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the communications are out of order (if
connected to an alarm monitoring station).

This  Honeywell  security  system  is  designed  for  use  with  devices  manufactured  or  approved  by  Honeywell  for  use  with  the
system.  The security system is not designed for use with any device that may be attached to the system's control or other
communicating bus if Honeywell has not approved such device for use with the system.  Use of any such unauthorized device
may cause damage or compromise the performance of the security system and affect the validity of the end user’s Honeywell
limited  warranty.    When you  install  devices  that  have  been manufactured  or  approved  by  Honeywell,  you  give  the end user
the  assurance  that  these  devices  have  been  thoroughly  tested  to  ensure  optimum  performance  when  used  with  this
Honeywell security system.
