HARD WIRED / INTERCONNECTED
Interconnected smoke alarms, whether hardwired or wirelessly interconnected, offer a crucial advantage by enabling all alarms to communicate with each other. When one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected alarms sound simultaneously, providing early warning throughout the entire building. This interconnected feature ensures that occupants are alerted promptly, regardless of their location, maximizing evacuation time and improving overall fire safety.
SMOKE ALARM TYPES
PHOTOELECTRIC: Photoelectric smoke alarms work by using a light source and a light sensor. When smoke enters the alarm, it scatters the light beam, which then triggers the alarm to sound.
IONIZATION: These types of smoke alarms use a small amount of radioactive material to ionize the air inside the alarm. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the ionization process, triggering the alarm.
