Updated to comply with
"The benefits of these manufacturing standards are measurable and thoroughly tested to help protect what matters most," said
The First Alert Precision Detection alarms with advanced sensing technology feature two key benefits:
-
Provide Early Warning – The new technology helps better detect and warn of fires in homes built and furnished with modern construction materials. Today's home fires burn hotter and faster as they tend to be built with higher ceilings and open floor plans and furnished with lighter, synthetic materials. Consequently, escape times are now shorter – reduced from 10-15 minutes in the 1970s to one to two minutes today, according to the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). - Reduce Nuisance Alarms – Almost three out of every five home-fire deaths are caused by fires in properties without working smoke alarms, and some users report they silence a nuisance alarm by disabling it altogether. It is vital that smoke alarms are always present, powered, and properly maintained. While nuisance alarms still may occur, Precision Detection technology reduces their frequency, offering consumers a valuable benefit.
In addition, the First Alert Precision Detection line of smoke and combination smoke and CO alarms offer a variety of features to help meet home and family needs, such as voice location alerts, interconnection, 10-year sealed battery, and more:
- 10-Year Battery Smoke Alarm – Featuring a slim profile design, the Combination Smoke & CO alarm provides reliable protection against both smoke and CO threats and its sealed 10-year battery means no low-battery chirps or battery replacements are required.
- Hardwire Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup – Designed for homes with existing hardwired alarms, homeowners can interconnect multiple alarms together to enable an alarm system throughout the home; so if one alarm sounds, all alarms in the home will sound to inform family members throughout the home. Easy installation is enabled by Quick Connection plugs, and no rewiring is needed.
- 10-Year Battery Smoke Alarm with Voice Alerts – To help minimize confusion during an emergency, a friendly voice shares the type and the location of danger to help inform the escape route. As with other 10-year Battery alarms, battery replacements are eliminated for the life of the alarm.
First Alert Precision Detection alarms are available nationwide at hardware stores, home centers, mass merchants, warehouse clubs and online. For more information about Precision Detection alarms or general fire and CO safety, visit FirstAlert.com/PrecisionDetection.
