Dual-Sensor Smoke and Fire Alarm for Homeowners

Equipped with both a photoelectric and ionization sensor, this battery-operated smoke alarm is designed to quickly detect both fast-burning and smoldering fires, helping to keep your family safe. Regardless of the type of fire, the alarm utilizes a combination of ionization and photoelectric sensing technologies to provide the earliest possible warning.

Photoelectric Sensing Technology is more sensitive than Ionization Sensing Technology at detecting smoldering fires, such as those caused by cigarettes burning in couches or bedding, as these types of fires can smolder for hours before erupting into flames. Conversely, Ionization Sensing Technology is generally more sensitive than Photoelectric Sensing Technology at detecting flaming fires, like kitchen grease fires or fires fueled by paper burning in a wastebasket, which can erupt quickly.

The single test/silence button allows you to easily check the alarm function and mute false alarms. For best results, use Polaroid AA batteries. The loud 85-decibel siren sounds to alert you to danger, ensuring that you and your family are promptly notified.

To ensure complete protection, it is recommended to place one smoke alarm on each level of your home and in each bedroom. This battery-operated smoke alarm requires no rewiring for installation and provides continuous monitoring, even in the event of a power failure.

First Alert has been the most trusted brand in home safety since launching the first residential smoke alarm in 1958, as evidenced by a recent brand trust survey conducted in February 2018.

In conclusion, this smoke alarm's dual sensing technologies, easy-to-use features, and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for keeping your family safe from the threat of both fast-burning and smoldering fires. With First Alert's trusted reputation and commitment to home safety, you can have peace of mind knowing your home is protected.
