I am a registered Electrical apprentice wiring my house addition. The city inspector requires that I remove the two existing bedroom smoke detectors that are connected to a burglar/fire panel with back-up battery and plug in transformer. He wants 120v detectors with 14/3 wire. There must be thousands of residential burg/fire panels installed throughout the U.S.A. Would this interpretation put the Alarm industry out of business? Or does the alarm industry install a 2nd smoke detector in the same room? What is the correct interpretation of the building code?
