Sample Residential Fire Alarm Layouts

Our alarm design team has put together two typical residential fire alarm layouts to help design a residential life safety system.  Our basic package is adequate coverage for some applications; however, you should consider adding other devices for optimum coverage.  The fire alarm panel we've selected is both low and high voltage and does provide for central station communication and will drive peripheral audio and visual horn/strobe and strobe devices.

Some jurisdictions and local city ordinances now require the installation of carbon monoxide detectors, to be  ceiling or wall mounted  no more than 15' from a gas fueled appliance such as:  furnace, water heater, gas fire place.  

The smoke detection products included in our basic package are addressable photoelectric smoke detectors.  Their features include:

  • 2-pair hardwired smoke detector
  • "T" model has built-in heat detector:  135 degree F (57 degree C) fixed-temperature heat sensor
  • Manual and programmable test for communication
  • Automatic low sensitivity test
  • Built-in tamper switch

However, you may encounter a challenging installation where running a wire is just not possible.  We suggest, the DSC wireless smoke detector for residential applications. 

  • Low profile design
  • Automatic drift compensation to maintain constant sensitivity
  • High/low sensitivity trouble
  • Built-in heat detector, 135 degree F
  • Easy maintenance replaceable chamber
  • Local test button
  • Built-in 85 dB horn
  • Built-in low battery detection
  • Unique sensitivity reading with FSD-100 meter
  • UL Listed 268/ULC Listed S531 for residential applications

*NOTE:  Jurisdicitions oversee installations of required commercial fire alarm systems may or may not allow wireless detection devices.  For clarification, check with your local fire jurisidiction.
