smoke alarm. View larger. Dual-Sensor 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. Wire-in Smoke Alarm with Reliable 9-Volt Battery
Backup, 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. The PI2010 is a wire-in smoke alarm
with 9V battery backup, 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. About Kidde: A UTC
