Description:

The First Alert Cat. No. SA340B is a battery operated, 9V (three 3V lithium power cells) single station smoke alarm specifically designed for residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories and other multi-family dwellings as defined in standard NFPA 101. Model SA340B complies with UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, HUD, FHA and other agencies that model their codes after the above agencies.

It meets building codes where tamperproof 10-year sealed lithium battery operated smoke alarms are required.

First Alert SA340B features a dual ionization smoke sensing chamber, an 85 dB horn, a sealed 10-year lithium power cell power supply that is permanently installed upon activation of unit, a single button for test/ silence and a red LED that blinks to indicate unit is receiving power. The tamperproof design will not allow the powercells to be removed after installation. The low power warning indicator will cause the alarm to "chirp" when it reaches the end of its service life and needs to be replaced. Upon end of life, the unit meets UL requirements for

disabling the alarm and non-reinstallation of unit to mounting bracket.

Designed for surface mounting, the SA340B includes mounting anchors and screws. Includes a gasketless base for

easy installation and a new mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow

for perfect alignment.

Pins are provided to lock unit to mounting bracket and to prevent removal and theft of unit.

SA340B specifications

The BRK electronic SA340B is a state-of-the-art smoke and carbon monoxide detector designed for residential use, providing enhanced safety features to homeowners. This versatile device integrates advanced technologies that ensure reliable performance and comprehensive protection against fire hazards and carbon monoxide exposure.

One of the main features of the SA340B is its dual-sensor system, which utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies. The photoelectric sensor is particularly effective in detecting smoldering fires that produce large amounts of smoke, such as those from furniture or bedding, while the ionization sensor responds quickly to fast-flaming fires fueled by paper or flammable liquids. This dual approach allows for a more effective detection range, significantly increasing the likelihood of early warning.

Another important characteristic of the SA340B is its built-in carbon monoxide (CO) detection capability. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be produced by various household appliances, including furnaces, water heaters, and vehicles. The SA340B continuously monitors CO levels in the environment and will emit an audible alarm if concentrations reach dangerous levels, providing an essential layer of safety for families.

The SA340B is designed for ease of installation and maintenance. It features a compact, sleek design that fits seamlessly into any home decor. The device can be easily mounted on walls or ceilings, and it operates on standard battery power, which ensures that it continues to function during power outages. Furthermore, the unit includes a low battery indicator, alerting users when the batteries need replacing, as well as a test/silence button for quick functionality checks.

Latency is minimized in the SA340B due to its rapid response time, ensuring that alerts are issued promptly in the event of smoke or CO detection. The alarm is loud enough to be heard throughout the house, even in the case of sleep or background noise.

In summary, the BRK electronic SA340B combines advanced dual-sensor technology with carbon monoxide detection to offer comprehensive protection for residential settings. Its user-friendly design and maintenance features make it an excellent choice for families seeking peace of mind in fire safety and carbon monoxide awareness. The SA340B stands as a reliable ally in promoting safety within the home environment.
