SA320B specifications

The BRK electronic SA320B is a reliable and innovative smoke alarm designed to enhance home safety by providing an early warning system against smoke and fire hazards. This device combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, making it an essential addition to any residential or commercial environment.

One of the standout features of the SA320B is its photoelectric sensing technology. This type of sensor is highly effective in detecting slow-smoldering fires, which tend to produce larger smoke particles. As a result, the smoke alarm can react more quickly to certain types of fires, reducing the risk of harm to occupants. This technology minimizes the chances of false alarms, often triggered by cooking smoke or other non-threatening sources, ensuring that users are alerted only when necessary.

The SA320B is equipped with a battery backup system that ensures continuous operation during power outages. This feature is critical, as fires can occur at any time and being without power could compromise the functionality of standard alarms. With the SA320B, users can rest easy knowing that they are protected even when electricity is unavailable.

Installation of the smoke alarm is straightforward, thanks to its user-friendly design. The SA320B comes with clear instructions and can be mounted on walls or ceilings using the included hardware. Additionally, the device features a sleek and unobtrusive appearance, allowing it to blend seamlessly with any decor.

Another important characteristic of the SA320B is its test and silence button. This feature allows users to easily check whether the alarm is operational and silences non-threatening activations without disconnecting the power source. Regular testing is encouraged to maintain functionality and ensure safety.

Furthermore, the SA320B is designed with longevity in mind. The unit has a lifespan of up to 10 years, after which it is important to replace the alarm to maintain effective safety measures. This long lifespan simplifies maintenance for users, reducing the frequency of replacements.

In summary, the BRK electronic SA320B smoke alarm offers vital protection with its photoelectric sensor technology, battery backup, easy installation, and user-friendly features. By investing in this reliable smoke alarm, homeowners can significantly enhance their safety against fire risks, providing peace of mind for themselves and their families.
