Additional requirements are outlined in the Standard for Installation of Fire Alarm Systems (CAN/ULC-S524) that is referenced by the current Building Code in effect. Please refer to the applicable Standard for more detailed requirements. This table’s focus is as a convenience guideline for basic wall-mounted device installation heights only. The manufacturer’s installation instructions should be consulted for termination of wiring and approved mounting methods. Notes referenced in the table are provided below.

It is extremely important that the installer review the manufacturer’s instructions that detail the proper installation, mounting, wiring, and termination of the control equipment and field devices to avoid errors that could prove costly!
