SA302B specifications

The First Alert SA302B is a reliable smoke and carbon monoxide alarm designed to enhance home safety by providing essential early warnings. This dual-sensing device employs both photoelectric and ionization technologies, enabling it to detect a wide range of fire types. Photoelectric sensors are particularly effective in identifying smoldering fires, which may generate a lot of smoke without large flames, while ionization sensors are more responsive to fast-burning fires. This combination ensures comprehensive protection for households.

One of the standout features of the SA302B is its voice alarm system. In addition to traditional alarm sounds, the device emits a clear voice alert that specifies the type of danger detected, whether it’s smoke or carbon monoxide. This feature helps reduce confusion during emergencies and allows residents to make informed decisions about their response.

The First Alert SA302B also boasts a 10-year battery life, which means that homeowners don’t have to worry about frequent battery replacements. The sealed battery design adds convenience, as it is specifically engineered to last for the entire lifespan of the alarm, ensuring ongoing protection without the hassle of maintenance.

Furthermore, the unit is equipped with a simple test and reset button, allowing users to easily check the functionality of the device. Its compact and modern design promotes easy installation and placement in various areas of the home, including bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms. Additionally, the SA302B comes with a mounting bracket and hardware for straightforward setup.

The First Alert SA302B is also built with an indicator light that provides visual confirmation of the unit’s operational status. This feature serves as an added layer of assurance that your device is actively monitoring for dangers.

Overall, the First Alert SA302B combines innovative technology with practical design to create a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that prioritizes safety and ease of use. With its dual-sensor technology, voice alerts, long battery life, and user-friendly features, it stands out as an indispensable tool for protecting your home and loved ones from fire and carbon monoxide threats. Investing in the SA302B is a crucial step in ensuring a safe living environment, making it a trusted choice for families nationwide.
