This optical smoke alarm from Kidde represents the cutting edge of alarms and has been been designed for easy installation, while offering a guaranteed 10 years life (no need to change batteries, power source lasts units life-span).
Equipped with a host of superb features, including the optical photoelectric sensor, which is highly efficient at detecting slow burning and smouldering fires, such as furniture. The small diameter of the smoke alarm (just 104mm) reduces its storage space needs.
The alarm features an innovative early and silent low battery warning. This means rather than chirping and beeping, an LED light will flash at the early signs of the battery running out. After 30 days, the alarm will then start chirping for 30 more days to indicate the end of life. This silent alert feature is a real benefit when low ambient temperatures occur, as this decreases the battery's temperature and therefore voltage. This typically occurs during the early hours of the night, and therefore the silent feature will prevent annoying beeping at unsociable hours.
The 10Y29 also has a reduced sounder output when initially pressing the test button. During an alarm, the sounder produces a loud, 85dB warning. However, to protect the ears, for the first 4 seconds that the Test Button is pressed a reduced level sound will be emitted.
The alarm has a high performance, tamperproof battery which is not activated until the alarm is mounted on the base plate. This preserves freshness and ensures a long term performance. To minimise nuisance alarms, the smoke alarm has a bug screen. The large central test/hush button is easy to operate.
