EI140 Series mains smoke alarms Dublin

EI 140 series can be interconnected or can be wireless. They are distributed with alkaline back up batteries and an “easy-fit” base. EI 140 is connected when it is activated, and it triggers the other connected alarms. It is available in three forms. Heat alarm is used in kitchens; visual smoke alarms in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways to detect slow-burning fires. The third is ionization smoke alarms that are mostly found in offices to detect fast fires. Alarms are sold in markets alone, and the EI 140 alarms can be linked to remote controls. The alkaline batteries can be upgraded to long-lasting life batteries, providing enough back up when the power goes off, giving home safety. The smoke and heat alarms are given a warranty of 10 years period. After this period, it is essential to replace them to ensure protection is guaranteed. In case it has a beeping sound before this period, it is advisable to change it with alkaline batteries to resolve the problem. EI 140 Series Standard smoke alarms provided by our company are effective and contemptible. Get EI 140 Series Standard at low-priced.

TYPES OF ALARMS

There are mainly four types of smoke alarm currently on the market – ionisation, optical (also described as photo electronic), heat and combined.

IONIZATION

These are the cheapest and cost very little to purchase. They are very sensitive to small particles of smoke produced by fast flaming fires, such as paper and wood, and will detect this type of fire before the smoke gets too thick. They are marginally less sensitive to slow burning and smouldering fires which give off larger quantities of smoke before flaming occurs. They can also be too over-sensitive near kitchens.

OPTICAL

These are more expensive but more effective at detecting larger particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring. They are marginally less sensitive to fast flaming fires. Optical alarms can be installed near (not in) kitchens, as they are less likely than ionisation alarms to go off when toast is burned.

COMBINED SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM

Alarms that combine both smoke detection and CO alarm protection in one ceiling-mounted unit. This reduces costs and takes up less of your living space.

COMBINED OPTICAL SMOKE & HEAT ALARMS

These are more expensive but more effective at detecting larger particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring. They are marginally less sensitive to fast flaming fires. Optical alarms can be installed near (not in) kitchens, as they are less likely than ionisation alarms to go off when toast is burned.

HEAT ALARMS

They detect the increase in temperature from a fire and are insensitive to smoke. They can therefore be installed in kitchens. They only cover a relatively small area of a room, so potentially several heat alarms need to be installed in a large kitchen.
