Where to Place Smoke Detectors
One or more of the zones of your security system can be connected
to a smoke detector. When installing smoke detectors, we recom-
mend that you follow the United States' National Fire Protection
Association's guidelines for smoke detector placement.
For the best early warning, smoke detectors should be installed in
every room. At least one smoke detector should be installed in a
central location, near the bedrooms. In new construction, a smoke
detector must be installed in each bedroom.
Smoke detectors should also be installed in living rooms, closets,
utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages. One
detector should be placed on every floor.

tion at Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. Ask about
