Detects Smoke
When smoke particles enter the sensing chamber, they scatter light into a beam that reflects back to the sensor. This process triggers an alarm.
Photoelectric: Smoke detectors based on the photoelectric effect are highly sensitive to slow-burning smoldering fires with a lot of smoke. They also respond to fast-burning flaming fires with less smoke.
Ionization: These detectors use a small amount of radioactive material to detect invisible fire particles. They’re highly responsive to flaming fires, although they might not be as effective when your power goes out.
Most smoke detectors are designed to chirp when they need new batteries or a battery change, which is a good reminder that your unit is in need of maintenance. However, if the unit keeps chirping after you change the batteries, it may have retained a charge from its previous battery or may have an error in the processor.
10 Year Lithium Battery Backup
One of the most impressive features of this smoke alarm is its 10 year lithium battery backup. This feature enables the alarm to keep on keeping on, even after power loss. Aside from the aforementioned battery life augmentation, this model also has a plethora of other cool factor goodies to include a sleek design and flush mount installation to boot. This 240v based smoke and CO detector is a serious piece of home security equipment. With a hefty price tag attached to it, you’ll want to take the time to do your homework before placing your order. This is a wise decision for you and your family. It’s one you don’t regret when it comes to fire safety in your home or business. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current smoke and carbon monoxide detection system or are in the market for a new one, this is the best time to make this important investment part of your budget.
Easy Installation
Legrand smoke alarms offer a sleek, tidy and easy installation. They can be used to replace existing smoke detectors and offer an integrated battery backup of up to 10 years.
The most common cause of chirping smoke detectors is low batteries, which should be replaced at least once a year. If you’re not sure which batteries are for your smoke detector, check the manufacturer’s list or instructions.
Another possible culprit is a loose battery peg or pull tab. These may need to be pulled out and re-pushed in place when changing the battery.
Humidity or direct sunlight can also trigger false alarms. If you are installing a new smoke detector, avoid placing it near places where humidity is high or where direct sunlight can hit the sensor chamber.
