ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues where to mount Smoke detector in room with ceiling fan

true Al....

or a window mounted AC unit, or an oscilating fan, or fans of incense..etc


btw Bill~ placement to my knowledge here differs new construction/renovation per state ammendments vs. nfpa72

p.s.s~ i have had similar tech concerns presented re; fan makers on placement vs. fireplace draft

whew! don't know 'bout you guys but i'm feeling rather winded now...

Just leave the smoke out and install a beam type detector, the ir beam gets scattered when the smoke is at the ceiling line as long as it is between the transmitter and reciever.
