First Alert®

Technology

All alarms include these quality innovative features:

• Faster job turnaround - 4X more jobs completed increases your profits

• Photoelectric sensing technology saves maintenance calls with fewer nuisance alarms.

RF Interconnect: Reliable and secure radio frequency communication between alarms. 915 MHz frequency with 65,000 security codes and 3 channel frequency hopping.

Photoelectric Technology: Helps reduce nuisance alarms, especially around kitchens and baths which are more prone to nuisance alarms from cooking smoke and shower steam.

Test/Silence Button: Tests alarm functions and battery. Silences unwanted alarms. Two silence features - Temporarily silence low battery chirp for up to 8 hours before replacing battery or silence unwanted alarm for several minutes.

Perfect Mount: mounting bracket keeps alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment.

Putting the Innovation in Renovation

When it comes to alarm renovation and retrofit projects, choices have been limited. Installing battery operated alarms and sacrificing interconnectability or investing in the time and labor to retrofit hardwired alarms have been the only options available.* Until Now! First Alert OneLink eliminates the need to pull wires through existing walls saving time, money and labor.

No matter what your renovation project,

First Alert OneLink provides a cost effective solution:

Home Addition Projects:

Using the First Alert OneLink hardwired "Bridge Unit" (SA520B), simply replace one hardwired alarm in the existing section and add one to the new section. Wireless

technology saves time, material and labor to connect to the existing alarm circuit. Now add standard BRK hardwired alarms as required in the new section and other First Alert OneLink battery alarms in the old section to complete the alarm safety system and bring entire home up to code. All alarms, hardwired and battery, existing and new are now interconnected.

Retrofit Projects:

Property Owners, Facility Managers and Electrical Contractors can all benefit from installing First Alert OneLink alarms for existing retrofit projects. Saving $150 - $200** per alarm and increasing job turnaround 4X are key reasons to consider First Alert OneLink alarms for all of your renovation projects.

Mesh Network Communication

First Alert OneLink alarms operate on a "mesh network"; a

Basement

Mesh Network Communication

•Exclusive! Voice alarm with programmable location. Programmable with up to 11 locations (ex. “basement”). When alarm sounds (if programmed for basement), it will say, “Warning, Evacuate, Smoke in Basement”. If other First Alert OneLink Voice Warning alarms are located throughout the house they will also signal, “Warning, Evacuate, Smoke in Basement”.

•Add additional battery-operated First Alert Enabled Alarms to create a wireless safety network.

•5-year limited warranty.

2-way communication format that sends, receives and then re-sends the alarm signals. If the initiating alarm signal is blocked from reaching one of the alarms, the mesh network communication reroutes and re-sends the signal via the other alarms as shown in the illustration. With competitive one-way wireless communication, only the initiating alarm sends a signal which may never be received, leaving the blocked alarm deadly silent.

*Local codes permitting

**Note: Based on average retrofitting costs of time, material and

labor to connect to existing alarm circuit, drywall repairs, painting, etc. Special cases that require conduit, wire mold, concrete drilling, etc. would add additional costs and increase savings.
