Product Description
The 562A is a hardwired photoelectric smoke alarm featuring a 9V alkaline battery backup, an interconnectable multi-station architecture, and an 85dB audible alert array. Designed for residential, multi-family, and commercial property applications, its photoelectric sensor optimizes the detection of slow-smoldering fires while mitigating nuisance trips from cooking steam, ensuring continuous code-compliant protection during active utility outages.
Key Features
- Advanced Photoelectric Sensing: Engineered to accurately detect dangerous, slow-smoldering fires while significantly reducing false alarms caused by cooking steam or humidity.
- Dual-Source Power Reliability: Hardwired 120VAC line power operation backed by a replaceable 9V battery to maintain complete protection during power outages.
- Smart Multi-Unit Interconnection: Hardwired interconnectability allows multiple compatible units to link together; when one alarm triggers, all interconnected units sound simultaneously.
- High-Decibel Audible Alert: Features a powerful 85dB horn at 10 feet to ensure clear, property-wide life-safety warnings.
- Integrated Operational Diagnostics: Equipped with an accessible Test/Silence button alongside dual LED indicators—green for active AC line power and red for alarm/fault tracking.
- Extended Product Lifespan: Premium flame-retardant polycarbonate (PC) structural housing engineered for a dependable 10-year operational lifecycle.
