According to a U.S. Fire Administration study, researchers found that 50% of residential fire fatalities occur when people are sleeping, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Across a range of populations (children, young adults, older adults, alcohol impaired adults. and adults who are hard of hearing), the Fire Protection and Research Foundation found low frequency tones (520 Hz) to be more effective in awakening individuals than the current fire alarm signals. Thus, audible appliances provided in sleeping areas are now required to produce different low frequency alarm signals - T3 for fire and T4 for Carbon Monoxide (CO) detection.
Read how one integrator installed Eaton's Exceder LED frequency sounders at the Apartments of Remington Pond, Warwick, RI to meet the NFPA sleeping room codes, including challenges, solution and results.
This training course communicates to viewers the similarities and differences in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) low frequency sounder codes - NFPA 72 for fire signals and NFPA 720 for Carbon Monoxide (CO) signals - as it relates to sleeping room applications. Additionally, viewers will learn the different applications for sleeping rooms, solutions available and elements of system design.
