Heat Alarms
1. On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements;
2. Inside every bedroom or adjacent hallway to every sleeping area. If a room or hallway
is longer than 40 feet (12 m), install a device at each end;
3. In every room containing a fuel-burning appliance;
4. In all rooms, hallways, and storage areas where the temperature is usually between
40-100°F (4.4-37.8°C).
Location in Your Home
To effectively protect against fire hazards, we recommend installing a complete fire
protection system:
1. Prioritize the installation of a heat alarm in the kitchen and furnace room, and make
sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you have a lot of rooms, make
sure you have heat alarms installed in your hallways and attics.
2. Install heat alarms in every room where a smokeless fire may occur.
IMPORTANT:
The intended primary use of these heat alarms is in single-family homes. For use in other
applications, the manufacturer’s advice should be sought.
Placement on a Wall or Ceiling
When heat alarms are installed in a room, the most effective mounting location for the
heat alarm is on the ceiling in the center of the room. The alarm should be at a distance
less than 17.4 ft (5.3 m) from the farthest wall, door to any room in which a fire might
start, and the next heat alarm.
