Smoke sensors must be installed in the computer room. What is the minimum density?
A.
1 per 5 m²
B.
1 per 10 m²
C.
1 per 25 m²
D.
1 per 40 m²
The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
NFPA 75 (Standard for IT Equipment Protection) and NFPA 72 (Fire Alarm Code) recommend installing at least one smoke detector per 250 ft² (≈25 m²) in IT rooms. This ensures early detection in high-value environments.
A and B are far too dense, exceeding NFPA minimums.
D is too sparse and would not meet early detection requirements.
Therefore, the correct standard density is 1 per 25 m².
