What code article would I find the requirements for installing smoke alarms in a residential setting. Beginning of 760 says they are not subject to requirements of article 760.

The location and mounting is normally addressed by the applicable Building Code in your area.At my age, I'm accustomed to restaurants asking me to pay in advance, but now my bank has started sending me their calendar one month at a time. -
The local building code will tell you what type of alarms are required, where they have to be located and whether they need to be interconnected.Originally posted by guschash View Post
NEC will tell you some additional information about acceptable wiring methods once you have the other information for your locale.Comment

I don't believe they are installed like that.Originally posted by guschash View Post
Typically the rules will require one smoke alarm at specific locations.
Like 'provide one smoke alarm at each bedroom door' or provide one smoke alarm at the foot of the basement stairs.
They are not installed for full coverage like smoke detectors are in non-dwelling units.Comment

Per NFPA 72-2007 section 11.5.1, it looks like you get up to 1,000 square for one, but if you're over 1,000 square feet it's one per 500 square feet.Originally posted by guschash View PostComment
