RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTIONThe Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection DevicesHelp Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.Recommendations For Smoke And Heat DetectorsWith regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendationscontained 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 roomsand areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installedoutside 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 ingarages is not normally recommended.For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the livingroom, 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 orcompletely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outsidemay not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed. Install a smoke detector inside bedroomswhere electrical appliances (such asportable heaters, air conditioners orKITCHENKITCHEN DININGBDRMBEDROOM BEDROOMTV ROOMDININGhumidifiers) are used.LIVING ROOMBDRMBEDROOMBEDROOMLIVING ROOMSmoke Detectors for Minimum ProtectionSmoke Detectors for Additional ProtectionHeat-Activated DetectorsBEDROOMBEDROOMTOBRBEDROOMKTCHNLVNG RM.CLOSEDDOOR Install a smoke detector at both ends of ahallway if the hallway is more than 40feet (12 meters) long. Install smoke detectors in any room wherean alarm control is located, or in any roomwhere alarm control connections to an ACsource or phone lines are made. Ifdetectors are not so located, a fire withinthe room could prevent the control fromreporting a fire or an intrusion.GARAGEBASEMENTfloor plan-001-V1THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPAREQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSESOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATIONAPPLIANCES.Recommendations For Proper Intrusion ProtectionFor proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home orcommercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows ina multi-level building.In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals canstill be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarmsignals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).ii

Via Internet: Supports upload/download programming capability via the Internetusing the AlarmNet network and Compass downloading software. This allows sitemaintenance independent of central station monitoring, and modification to sitesglobally via the Internet. Also see Internet Reporting below and InternetConnection on the next page.Primary telephone number messages can be reported over the Internet via hardwiredhigh speed Internet connection and/or via an optional on-board VISTA-GSM module(using the wireless GSM/GPRS digital cellular network). The Internet connection andoptional module are collectively referred to as the Internal IP/GSM Device.1-1
