CONTROL UNIT SELECTION
For a complete list of UL Compatible Listed Control Panels refer Document No. 70.63 Detector-Control Panel Compatibility Listing. As per UL 268
Section 77.3.1(d) and UL 521 Section 54.3.1(d), this document also lists the maximum number of detectors that can be connected to each initiating
device circuit of the control unit. This includes any detectors that employ an integral component, such as a relay or sounder that consumes power
during an alarm condition.
DETECTOR INSTALLATION
SMOKE DETECTORS - OPEN AREA APPLICATIONS
Spacing
Smoke Detectors are UL Listed to be installed on maximum 30 foot (9.1 m) centers, typically on smooth ceilings up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high and will
operate with minimum air circulation. Resultant maximum 900 square foot (83.6 m
2
) spacing may be used as a reasonable guide for comparable
applications. Where special conditions exist (ceiling obstructions, high air exchange rates, etc.), reduced spacing must be used to achieve adequate
protection. Computer rooms and other such installations may require spacing with a maximum of 200 square feet (18.6 m
2
) due to high air exchange
rates. For additional information, consult NFPA 72 and the Fenwal Automatic Fire Detection Application Engineering Manual MC-402.
Per UL Listing, open area smoke detectors are intended for mounting on a ceiling not less than 6 inches (152 mm) from a wall, or on a wall not less
than 4 inches (102 mm) nor more than 6 inches (152 mm) from the ceiling.
The following locations should always be avoided: areas with excessive exhaust fumes, kitchen areas, near fireplaces or furnace rooms, within three
(3) feet of air supply ducts or air diffusers.

Mounting
Bases are mounted directly on the electrical junction boxes (3, 3.5, and 4 inch octagonal; 3 inch round; 4 inch square) without any type of mechanical
adapter.
HEAT DETECTORS - OPEN AREA APPLICATIONS
Spacing
For UL/cUL applications, the Detectors are listed to be installed on 70 foot (21.3 m) centers, typically on smooth ceilings up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high and
will operate with minimum air circulation. Detectors are intended for mounting on a ceiling not less than 35 feet (10.7 m) from a wall or partition.
For FM applications, the listed spacing is 35 foot x 35 foot (10.7 m x 10.7 m). Where special conditions exist (ceiling obstructions, etc.), reduced
spacing must be used to achieve adequate protection.
