Technology for Improved Safety Experts divide home fires into two
groups: flaming and smoldering. Flaming fires result from
flammable liquids and cooking accidents, while smoldering fires
most often occur when smoking materials, such as s, are
left unattended. Ionization smoke sensors may detect smaller,
less visible fire particles, like those produced by flaming
fires, sooner than photoelectric sensors. However, photoelectric
sensors are may detect larger, more visible fire particles, such
as those produced by smoldering fires, sooner than ionization
sensors. Each must pass identical performance standards to obtain
third-party approval and meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 217,
the independent standard to which alarms are listed. Because you
don't know what type of fire you will have in your home, experts
recommend installing both types of technology for optimal
protection. Experts Recommend Protection from Both Types of Fires
Virtually every recognized fire authority recommends the
installation of both ionization and photoelectric alarms in order
to maximize protection from either flaming or smoldering fires.
Kidde offers photoelectric smoke alarms, ionization smoke alarms,
and dual sensor alarms, which combine both technologies in one
unit. Regardless of the technology, the most important thing is
to ensure that you have working smoke alarms on every floor of
your home, inside each bedroom and outside ing areas.
Studies show placing alarms in both bedrooms and hallways could
increase a family's escape time by up to 15 minutes. Fire
Authorities recommending both smoke alarm technologies: National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) International Association of
Fire Chiefs (IAFC) U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) Consumer Reports National Association of
State Fire Marshals (NASFM) Underwriters Laboratory (UL)
Trademarked Hush Feature for Convenience By pressing the Hush
button, you can easily and safely silence nuisance alarms caused
by non-emergency situations, such as overcooked dinners. This
feature desensitizes the alarm for approximately seven minutes.
During this time, the alarm chirps every 30 to 40 seconds. If the
smoke is too dense, the Hush feature is overridden and the alarm
still sounds, and the alarm automatically resets at the end of
the seven minutes. This convenient safety measure eliminates the
temptation to remove the alarm's battery, which creates an unsafe
situation. Reliable 9-Volt Battery Power, Indicator LED, and Test
Feature Because a smoke alarm only helps protect you if it's
working, this unit features a red LED that flashes every 30 to 40
seconds to indicate that it is operating correctly. For
additional peace of mind, the alarm contains a test/reset button
that enables you to periodically test its circuitry and horn. A
standard 9-volt battery powers this alarm, which provides
continuous protection against smoke and fire hazards even during
power outages. The unit offers a low battery warning that issues
a brief chirp every 30 to 40 seconds for at least seven days
before losing power, letting you know it's time to change the
battery. The unit measures just 5.75 inches in diameter and 1.8
inches deep, and it features a neutral, white finish. It features
tamper resist features to deter vandalism or theft. This
dual-sensor smoke alarm is UL listed, so you can be confident of
its quality, and it is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.
