    Do you mean the required smokes in each bedroom, outside the bedrooms, and on each
    Floor interconnected?
    Placement of sensors?
    Can you be a little more specific?

    First of all, there are two types of detectors: photoelectric and ionization. Both have their uses and photoelectric is cheaper. Steam and dust will set off photoelecric detectors but not ionization. Ionizaion is more expensive. Photoelectric needs to be cleaned periodically.

    How many detectors and where: minimum stairs and halls.
    Cumbustable gas/CO detectors in areas that use gas.

    Heat detectors in the attic.

    Generally each detector is 120V wired and then there is a line between detectors such that if one goes off the others go off.
