1. SMOKE ALARM LIMITATIONS AND FUNCTIONS There are three basic smoke alarm types loPhic lonization and Photoelectric loPhic is an ionization alarm containing a patent pending Universal Smoke Sensing Technology loPhic alarms are very effective at detecting fast flaming fires and also respond very quickly to slow smoldering fires up to 87 faster than the maximum allowable alarm limit UL217 Smoldering Smoke Test on 5 26 2010 Underwriters Laboratories Project 409CA38078 lonization smoke alarms are typically more effective at detecting fast flaming fires fires which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly Sources of these fires may include paper burning ina wastebasket or kitchen grease fires Photoelectric smoke alarms on the other hand are typically more effective at detecting slow smoldering fires fires which burn for hours before bursting into flame Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding Installing loPhic smoke alarms ensures maximum detection of both types of fires from a single alarm while eliminating the need for a combination of ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms The enclosed alarm is an lonization smoke alarm SMOKE ALARMS WILL NOT WORK DURING A LOSS OF POWER SINCE A SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER having an alarm s that works from two completely different power sources such as an AC direct wire with battery backup smoke alarm can2.
