Should any smoke enter, these ionised air molecules react, causing a change in the electrical behaviour, which triggers the alarm. Like the FireAngel ST-622Q below, it uses the firm’s Thermoptek sensor, giving it high sensitivity without excessive false alarms. Having completed this functional test, we take a careful look at any controls, screens or indicators to see how clear and effective they are. The ST-622 alarm cannot be interlinked to other alarms in your home, but still offers a high protection against fire.

If you could replace the batteries they use in these FireAngel ones, I would give them more than 10 out 10, if I could. It combines FireAngel’s Thermistek sensor with a heat disk that’s designed to reflect directional heat from a fire onto the sensor, so that you get a faster reaction to an outbreak. Good detectors, have used them for a few years now, the only Minus is don't believe the Batteries last 10 years, maybe about 5 or 6. In fact, most homes require more than one smoke alarm, alongside detectors for carbon monoxide (CO) and heat. Brilliant alarms no batteries to drive you mad at two in the morning,just simply mount them and let them do their thing.For the quickest alert to fire we recommend that the alarms in the home are all interlinked, either with a hardwired or wireless connection. I'm a Landlord and my biggest problem has been that the batteries in smoke alarms fit all manner of kids toys. I shall only be able to report on the excellent performance of this item whilst standing in the street outside the smouldering ruins .

Use the large central button to easily test and silence your alarm using a sweeping brush from below - no need for a step-ladder! The next thing that happens is they replace the battery for the toy but not the one they have removed from the smoke alarm. This Twin pack contains 2x FireAngel smoke alarms which use Thermoptek multi-sensor technology which pairs the very latest in optical sensing with thermal enhancement, and when compared to single sensor alarms reacts to fire in under half of the time.In the first, a tiny amount of a radioactive isotope (far too small to cause any harm) causes ionisation in the air within the smoke alarm. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to use optical alarms in living rooms, bedrooms or downstairs hallways where you either have a lot of upholstered furniture and soft furnishings or the alarm is likely to be set off by cooking fumes. Our Kitchen Heat Alarms detect rapid spikes in temperature rather than smoke, which means they're perfect for high fume (e. You’re required to have a smoke alarm in your living room and every hallway or landing, along with a heat alarm in the kitchen. Use of ionisation alarms is generally being discouraged by many fire services, and some manufacturers have now discontinued their ionisation products.
