Aico Ei146e Smoke Alarm White Mains Powered 9V Battery Backup Optical

Aico Ei146e Optical Smoke Alarm

The Aico Ei146e is a high-performance optical smoke alarm featuring a highly sensitive photodiode. This alarm is particularly effective at detecting smouldering fires, such as those originating from furniture or televisions, as it responds quickly when smoke enters its chamber. It is recommended for use in most domestic locations, excluding kitchens and garages where fumes may cause false alarms, and should also be kept away from bathrooms to avoid steam-related false activations.
