This Photo-electric Optical Smoke Alarm uses the light scatter principle (which detects smoke particles entering the optical chamber of the alarm) to respond rapidly to a domestic fire.
It has an Easi-Fit base that enables a quick installation and easy maintenance. The alam is wired with a replaceable 9V alkaline battery which may last for up to 4 years in standby mode or 2 years if unpowered from the mains.
It has a high performance optical chamber with integral fixed insect screen to avoid false alarms. It also has a prominent Test/Hush button.
This unit can connect with up to twelve alarms, where if any alarm is triggered, all alarms shall be activated.
This product has a 5 year (limited) warranty.
Sensor: | Optical, uses light scatter from smoke particles. (Note: Sensing chamber meets the 25mm stand-off installation requirements of AS1670.1 and AS1670.6) |
Ambient Light: | Chamber housing and compensation overcomes possible problems due to stray light |
Sensitivity: | Complies with AS 3786 (Nominal 10%Obs/m) |
Source: | Contains NO radioactive material |
Airspeed: | Essentially immune to the effect of airspeed |
Test Facility: | Simulates the effect of smoke and checks electronics and horn |
Automatic Self-Test: | Smoke chamber is tested every 40 seconds and unit beeps (without LED flash) if the sensor is de-graded |
Insect Screen: | 1mm diameter stainless steel mesh mitigates insect and debris entry into the smoke chamber |
Hush Facility: | In “Hush” mode the alarm enters a ten minute period of reduced sensitivity to overcome false alarm conditions, and will then automatically reset itself |
Primary Supply: | 230 Volts AC |
Power-On Indicator: | Continuous Green LED |
Secondary Supply: | 9 Volt Alkaline Battery |
Low Battery Warning: | Beeps every 40 second when the stand-by battery reaches it depletion threshold |
Alarm Sounder: | Integral electronic piezo horn |
Alarm Sounder Connection: | Piezo contacts are soldered to prevent failure due to contact corrosion over time |
