UL217 specifications

The First Alert UL217 is a state-of-the-art smoke and fire alarm designed to provide advanced safety and security for homes and businesses. This model adheres to rigorous standards set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), ensuring reliability and peak performance for fire detection. One of the standout features of the First Alert UL217 is its use of photoelectric sensing technology. Unlike traditional ionization alarms, which primarily detect fast-flaming fires, photoelectric sensors excel at identifying smoldering fires, which are often more dangerous as they can produce poisonous gases long before flames are visible.

Another significant characteristic of the UL217 is its smart dual-sensor system. This innovative feature combines both photoelectric and ionization technologies, offering comprehensive protection against a wide range of fire types. This dual-action approach ensures that users are alerted to both quick-flame fires and slow-smoldering fires, thus enhancing the overall safety of a living environment.

The UL217 also includes a 10-year sealed battery. This maintenance-free power source eliminates the need for regular battery replacements, allowing homeowners and business operators to enjoy peace of mind knowing their alarms will perform effectively without the hassle of changing batteries. The sealed battery lifespan is designed to last for the entire life of the unit, typically around a decade.

The design of the First Alert UL217 is user-friendly, featuring an intuitive test/silence button that allows users to quickly check the functionality of the alarm. An innovative feature called “Smart Technology” reduces the likelihood of false alarms caused by cooking smoke or steam, ensuring fewer disturbances while maintaining vigilant fire monitoring.

Additionally, the UL217 is equipped with a loud 85-decibel alarm that effectively alerts occupants in the event of a fire. The alarm sound is specifically designed to be heard over typical household noises, ensuring that individuals are promptly informed of potential danger.

In summary, the First Alert UL217 smoke alarm combines cutting-edge technology, durability, and user-centric design to provide effective fire detection and life-saving alerts. Its dual-sensor technology, long-lasting battery, and reliable performance make it an essential component of any comprehensive fire safety plan. Whether in a residential setting or a commercial environment, the UL217 stands as a guardian against the threat of fire.
