Timely warning of life-threatening fire smoke
Over 500 people in Germany die every year as a result of a fire, 95% of them from toxic smoke.
As the sense of smell also sleeps at night, most people only wake up when it is too late: losing their orientation in the thick smoke, hindering their ability to reach safety in time. It only takes three inhalations of the toxic fumes to cause loss of consciousness, which is swiftly followed by death. The majority of fires are not caused by negligence: technical faults, such as cable fires, are among the most common causes, and can occur at any time without warning. The 10-year mini smoke alarm was awarded the top rating of "Good" (2.2) in the Stiftung Warentest magazine smoke alarm test (issue 1/2018). The photoelectric alarm is also characterised by its very compact design. It detects the smallest smoke particles and warns residents of a developing fire early and effectively with a loud alarm. The detection range is up to 40 m² and is limited to the room in which it is installed. Unwanted alarms (e.g. caused by dust or steam) can be muted simply and easily by pressing the large test button. A permanently installed 3 V lithium battery guarantees reliable operation and a long service life. Proper function should be checked regularly by pressing the test button. If the alarm is not working properly or the battery is low, it will indicate this acoustically and visually.
