detector.

as the distance requirement is met. This detector(s) can also satisfy the floor requirement.

lithium battery. If you have access to the battery, it is not a sealed unit.

system has been tested/serviced.

- This same report will need to certify that the system detectors are less than 10 years old and in proper
operating condition. The alarm report will expedite inspection and make it considerably easier for the
Seller/Landlord. This alarm report will need to be available to the inspector on the day of the inspection.
