National Fire Protection Association’s

Smoke Detector Recommendations

LYNXR-I is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N

LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.

With regard to the number and placement of smoke and 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. The equipment should be installed as follows: A smoke detector installed

outside of each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each

additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and

unfinished attics.

In addition, 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.
