Hi all,
First time posting. Occasional reader.
I want to install 4+ 4-wire smokes in my house and woodshop. I'm looking for suggestions on what models to use, and any additional items I may need to get things up and running.
My setup will be a expansion enclosure in my 1800 sq.ft wood shop (In a fairly non-dusty, protected corner in its metal enclosure) and probably running 2 smoke (or heat) sensors to each end of my shop. I try to keep the dust down, but I do have a fairly high air circulation when my 6.5hp dust collector is running (can turn over the air in less than 4 mins). 2 or more smoke detectors will be placed on the 2nd floor, above the shop. Since I don't have many detectors, I was planning on giving them each a zone, but it kinda sounds like there is some complication getting them all to alarm if they are. Any suggestions? I may add a CO detector in the equation too. I'm totally new to low voltage smoke/heat/CO detectors, and not really sure where to begin. Anything I might be missing?
Thanks!
