Photoelectric alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
Features
- Advanced Photoelectric Design - well suited for kitchens and near baths, less susceptible to nuisance alarms caused by cooking or high humidity
- Lighted Power/Alarm LED - confirms unit is receiving power and provides visual indication of alarm condition
- Interconnectability - interconnectable with up to 11 additional FireX AC smoke alarms for a total of 12 interconnected units
Note: When installing an alarm that is AC powered only, you should keep in mind that during a fire or CO event, if the circuit to which the alarm is connected is either not energized, or is compromised by the fire before sufficient smoke reaches the alarm to cause the alarm to sound an alarm, the smoke or CO alarm will not function and will not provide a warning of the fire or CO event.
