NFPA 72 sets the guidelines for installation. Basically, the highest operable part of the pull station must be no more than 48 inches above the floor if only a forward reach is possible or no more than 54 inches if the clear floor space allows a parallel approach by a person in a wheelchair. A strobe must be 80 inches above the highest floor level, or 6 inches below the ceiling, whichever is lower.
