Surface Mount smoke alarm
Clipsal Firetek’s® surface mount smoke alarm feature a stylish, state of the art design.
The alarm is fully mains powered and features a 9V battery backup in case of power failure so your family is always protected. Audible and visual indicators draw the occupant’s attention to any alarm condition or to alert the homeowner of a low battery status.
The unit is interconnectable (up to 40 units), making it ideal for any domestic or commercial installation. When activated, the alarm sounds at a loud 85db to alert occupants. A large test/hush button can be used to regularly test the unit for normal function, or to silence the unit in the case of an unwanted alarm.
Both photoelectric and ionisation smoke alarm models are available to ensure maximum protection from different types of fires. For maximum protection, a combination of both types of smoke alarms should be used throughout your home or building. This ensures the earliest possible warning in the event of a fire, increasing the chances of escape and survival.
Battery backup facility
Smoke alarms with an a.c. power source are constantly powered, but also incorporate a backup battery. This ensures that the alarm is always operational, even if the mains power is cut.
Instant visual status
Clipsal Firetek® smoke alarms incorporate both audible and visual indicators to notify occupants of the alarm status.
During normal operation, a green indicator signifies power available, whilst a red indicator flashes about once per minute showing the battery check in progress.
If smoke is detected the alarm will sound a loud 85 decibel audible siren. The red indicator flashes rapidly (about once per second) to indicate the alarm has been activated.
If the user presses the Hush Button, the audible alarm will be silenced, and the red indicator will flash periodically (about once every 10 seconds) to show the Hushed status.
Test/Hush feature
A combined single Test/Hush button on the ionisation and photoelectric detectors allows the home owner or installer to test the operation of the smoke alarm by holding down the Test button and sounding the alarm.
The same push-button can be used to silence the smoke alarm in the case of unwanted or false alarm. Press and hold the Hush Button to quiet the alarm. Normal operation will automatically after about 10 minutes.
If the smoke level continues to rise while the alarm is in Hush Mode the alarm will be re-activated, signifying that there may still be a fire burning or other hazardous condition present.
