Protection of Alarms
To make sure devices stay operable, follow these guidelines:
All devices should be securely mounted to a solid surface.
- Alarm system components that may be exposed to corrosive environments should be either made or coated with a non-corrosive material.
- Position alarm devices away from or out of contact with materials or equipment which may cause physical damage.
- Alarms that are installed outdoors and need to be shielded from the weather to work properly must be protected with a canopy, hood, or other suitable device.
- All devices should be securely mounted to a solid surface, such as screwed to a junction box with a mounting plate or other appropriate method that prevents them from putting pressure or stress on attached wires or tubing.
