Photoelectric Standalone Smoke Detector (Model D-243)
PHOTOELECTRIC STANDALONE SMOKE DETECTOR (MODEL D-243)
DEMCO D-243 trio of Smoke Detectors are high-quality, robust electronics designed for reliability, to ensure early detection and warning from hazardous smoke and fire.
These detectors incorporate 9V battery powered photoelectric detection technology and alarm functions within a single unit, which reliably detects smoke from smouldering fires – the most common and highest risk type of fire in residential environments.
A notable point of the D-243 smoke detectors is the Hush feature which enables you to temporarily desensitize the circuit and silence the detector for 8 minutes when dense smoke, vapors and steam from cooking trigges the alarm. This useful feature will allow time for the smoke to dissipate and can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared.
The D-243 smoke detectors with high immunity against nuisance alarms provide home owners and installer with an easy-to-install yet economical solution ideal for any residential environment.
