Kidde KN-COSM-BCA Smoke Alarm User Manual


 
Additional Recommendations
Smoke alarms should be 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 new construction, a
smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping
room. Check with local o fficials for specific re g u l a t i o n s
c o n c e rning your situation.
The required number of smoke alarms might not
provide reliable early warning protection for those
areas separated by a door from the areas protected by
the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is
recommended that the householder consider the use
of additional smoke alarms for those areas for
increased protection. Additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility
room, and hallways not protected by the re q u i red smoke
a l a r ms. The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens,
attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not norm a l l y
recommended, as these locations occasionally experience
conditions that can result in improper operation.
NRC
Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of
a radioactive element in the sensing chamber to enable
detection of visible and invisible combustion pro d u c t s .
The radioactive element is safely contained in the
chamber and re q u i res no adjustments or maintenance.
This smoke alarm meets or exceeds all govern m e n t
standards. It is manufactured and distributed under
license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
CPSC
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
recommends the use of at least one CO Alarm per
household, located near the sleeping area.
