Can anyone tell me how the following is accomplished?
"The household fire alarm system shall provide the same level of smoke detection and alarm as required by this section for smoke alarms in the event the fire alarm panel is removed"
Before household fire alarms per 72 were in the code I used to allow them as an approved alternative.
Now that household fire alarms are specifically addressed, I am of the thinking I cannot allow them as an approved alternative (thereby circumventing the above quote)
So how does one go about having interconnected hard-wired battery-backed up smoke detectors that operate when the alarm panel is removed?
