The First Alert SA302CN Double Sensor Battery-Powered Smoke and Fire Alarm is made to detect the smoke particles generated by both smoldering and flaming fires. This fire alarm uses ionization as well as photoelectric sensors for the earliest warning possible.

Some fires, such as an un-noticed cigarette in bedding, can smolder for many hours. The photoelectric technology of the SA302CN is designed to catch these slow-growing types of fires. For rapid fires, such as a grease fire in the kitchen, the SA302CN uses its ionizing technology.

The alarm of the SA302CN is a loud 85 decibel resulting in getting your attention immediately. This allows you to get out right away or, in the case of a minor fire, put out the flames before they spread. False alarms are rare because the dual sensors of the SA302CN detector are designed to help the fire alarm distinguish differences between emergencies and non-emergencies. The SA302CN uses a standard 9-V battery and has an EZ access battery door for simple changing.

The SA302CN Smoke and Fire Alarm meets the UL 217 standard for dual-sensor detectors. This means that the detector has passed quality-assurance tests. To the consumer this means reliable protection that you can count on.
