What is the maximum height for installing an annunciator or alarm keypad per ADA regulations?

The maximum height for installing an annunciator or alarm keypad per ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations is 48 inches. This height is established to ensure that all individuals, including those who may be using a wheelchair or have other mobility considerations, can easily reach and operate the alarms or keypads. The ADA guidelines aim to promote accessibility and inclusivity, so installations must comply to provide equal access to safety systems for everyone. This standard is reflected in various building codes and practices that emphasize the importance of accommodating all users when designing and installing safety and alarm systems.
