Last updated on June 28, 2023.
There are two types of residential fire alarm: smoke alarm and thermal alarm.
Smoke type (photoelectric type)
When smoke enters the alarm, sound or sound will notify you of the fire.
Installed in bedrooms and staircases.
Thermal type
When the air around the alarm reaches a certain temperature, sound or sound will notify you of the fire.
Installed in kitchens where smoke and steam may stay.
"Single Type" And "linked"
Residential fire alarm is a single type that emits alarm sounds only for indoor units, and an interlocking type that emits alarm sounds from all alarms installed.
There are two types.
When an alarm detects a fire, the residential fire alarm sounds an alarm.
After that, the information is transmitted wirelessly to the linked alarm to make it sound all at once.
There are two types of alarm-linked types that require wireless type or wiring work.
※It is also possible to connect a residential fire alarm with contact with a cable to make it sound all at once.
