LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
S
moke Alarms have played a key role in reducing deaths resulting from home
f
ires worldwide. However, like any warning device, Smoke Alarms can only
work if they are properly located, installed, and maintained, and if smoke
r
eaches the Alarms. They are not foolproof.
Smoke alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape plan
a
t least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to
g
randparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice
before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others
d
o not readily waken to the sound of the smoke alarm, or if there are infants
o
r family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is
assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is
r
ecommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in
o
rder to determine their response to the sound of the smoke alarm while
sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event
o
f an emergency.
Smoke Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated units cannot
w
ork if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type
o
f batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. AC units
cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit
b
reaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that
b
urns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations
of battery or AC power, install both types of units.
S
moke Alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach the
A
larms.
S
moke from fires in chimneys or walls, on roofs, or on the other side
of closed doors may not reach the sensing chamber and set off the Alarm.
T
hat is why one unit should be installed inside each bedroom or sleeping
a
rea—especially if bedroom or sleeping area doors are closed at night—and
in the hallway between them.
S
moke Alarms may not detect fire on another floor or area of the
dwelling.
For example, a stand-alone unit on the second floor may not detect
s
moke from a basement fire until the fire spreads. This may not give you
e
nough time to escape safely. That is why recommended minimum protection
is at least one unit in every sleeping area, and every bedroom on every level
of your dwelling. Even with a unit on every floor, stand-alone units may not
pro
vide as much protection as interconnected units, especially if the fire starts
in a remote area. Some safety experts recommend installing interconnected
AC powered units with battery back-up (see “About Smoke Alarms”) or
professional fire detection systems, so if one unit senses smoke, all units
alarm. Interconnected units may provide earlier warning than stand-alone
units since all units alarm when one detects smoke.
Smoke Alarms may not be heard. Though the alarm horn in this unit meets
or exceeds current standards, it may not be heard if: 1) the unit is located
outside a closed or partially closed door, 2) residents recently consumed
alcohol or drugs, 3) the Alarm is drowned out by noise from stereo, TV, traffic,
air conditioner or other appliances, 4) residents are hearing impaired or sound
sleepers. Special purpose units, like those with visual and audible alarms,
should be installed for hearing impaired residents.
Smoke Alarms may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes
damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach
the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed,
children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions
resulting from escaping gas.
Smoke Alarms are not foolproof.
Like any electronic device, Smoke Alarms
are made of components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must test
the unit weekly to ensure your continued protection. Smoke Alarms cannot
prevent or extinguish fires. They are not a substitute for property or life
insurance.
Smoke Alarms have a limited life. The unit should be replaced immediately
if it is not operating properly. You should always replace a Smoke Alarm after
10 years from date of purchase. Write the purchase date on the space provided
on back of unit.
