Smoke Alarm Interconnection

Do you know the rules when it comes to Interconnecting Smoke alarms?
NFPA 72 and UL specify that 18 Total "DEVICES" can be interconnected
of which ONLY 12 can be smoke Alarms. If the 1 or 2 Family Dwelling needs
additional Detection, YOU MUST INSTALL a FIRE SYSTEM (commercial listed FACP)
Trouble now is : IS the Electrical Contractor Licensed to Install, Maintain and Service the system?
IS he Licensed OTHER than his Electrical License......New York State DOS says he either Must be
Licensed as per Article 6D OR he must REGISTER his Electrical License(s) with DOS and have
in his possession a valid LOCAL Alarm License.
