Smoke Detectors

A smoke detector is an early warning device that detects the smoke particles that mix into the air at the beginning of a fire and either sounds an audible alarm or sends a signal to a fire alarm panel. It is used on corridor, living room and bedroom ceilings in homes, and in enclosed spaces such as offices, shops and warehouses, to notice a fire before the flames grow. This category includes the Cata CT-9451 smoke detector; the device is listed with a 9 V supply voltage and is sold per piece. Choose the detector according to its power supply, whether it will operate on its own or connected to a fire alarm panel, the detection principle and the intended use of the space to be protected. In battery-powered detectors the battery condition directly affects whether the device works; learn the battery type and replacement interval from the manufacturer's manual. A smoke detector does not detect flammable gas or carbon monoxide; it does not replace a natural gas and carbon monoxide detector.
