See Figure 2. 56X - UL 217 Smoke Alarm Series 57X - UL 268 Smoke Detector SeriesInstallation Instructions LEDTest/Silence buttonSounderA-8-1.2.1.a Where to Locate the Required SmokeAlarms/Detectors in Existing Construction.The major threat from fire in a family living unit occurs atnight when everyone is asleep. The principal threat topersons in sleeping areas comes from fires in theremainder of the unit. Therefore, a smoke alarm/detector(s) is best located between the bedroom areasand the rest of the unit. In units with only one bedroomarea on one floor, the smoke alarm/detector(s) should belocated as shown in Figure 2 A.In family living units with more than one bedroom area orwith more than one floor, more than one smoke alarm/detector is required, as shown in Figure 2 B.In addition to smoke alarms/detectors outside of thesleeping areas, the installation of a smoke alarm/detectoron each additional story of the family living unit,including the basement, is required. These installationsare shown in Figure 2 C. The living area smoke alarm/detector should be installed in the living room or nearthe stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. Thebasement smoke alarm/detector should be installed inclose proximity to the stairway leading to the floorabove. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, thealarm/detector should be placed on the bottom of thejoists. The detector should be positioned relative to thestairway to intercept smoke coming from a fire in thebasement before the smoke enters the stairway.Optional temperature sensorCopy of Preliminary 11/27/00
