Application Notes - USA

In any case, audible signals cannot have a sound level less than 75
dBA at 10 ft (3m) per NFPA 72 and cannot exceed 120 dBA per ADA
(130 dBA per NFPA 72) at the minimum hearing distance to audible
appliance. Audible signals shall be installed with the top of the
device above the floor not less than 90 inches (2.3 m) and below the
finished ceilings at least six inches (150 mm) (per NFPA 72).
Strobes must be used to supplement audible signals wherever the
average ambient sound level exceeds 105 dBA. Combination
Audible/Visible signals must be installed per NFPA guidelines
established for strobes.
ADA suggests that the following areas may require Visual Alarm
Signals:
- rest rooms, meeting rooms, and other general usage areas.
Visible Signal Application - lobbies, hallways, and other common use areas.
These guidelines are based on ANSI/NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm - sleeping rooms intended for use by persons with hearing
