SC05B specifications

The First Alert SC05B is a cutting-edge smoke and carbon monoxide detector that offers unparalleled protection for your home. Designed with advanced technology, this device provides peace of mind by ensuring early detection of hazards that could pose serious risks to your health and safety.

One of the main features of the SC05B is its dual-sensor design, which combines both photoelectric and ionization sensors. This innovative arrangement allows the device to detect a wider range of fire scenarios. For instance, photoelectric sensors excel at identifying slow-smoldering fires, which are often characterized by excessive smoke. In contrast, ionization sensors are particularly effective at detecting fast-flaming fires. Together, these sensors significantly enhance the likelihood of early detection, reducing the risk of injury and property damage.

In addition to its smoke detection capabilities, the SC05B also includes a built-in carbon monoxide sensor. Carbon monoxide is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. The inclusion of this feature allows for comprehensive monitoring of potential environmental dangers. The detector emits a loud alarm to alert residents to the presence of carbon monoxide, giving them precious moments to evacuate safely.

Another defining characteristic of the First Alert SC05B is its user-friendly design. The device features a one-button test/silence function that allows users to easily check the alarm's status and silence false alarms with minimal hassle. Additionally, the detector comes with a status indicator that provides visual confirmation of its operation, so you can ensure that the unit is functioning correctly without needing to perform extensive tests.

The SC05B is also equipped with a battery backup system. This feature ensures that the device remains operational even during power outages, which is essential for maintaining safety at all times. With a sleek, compact design, the First Alert SC05B is easily mountable on ceilings or walls, making it an unobtrusive yet vital addition to any home safety plan.

Moreover, the detector is designed to be long-lasting, featuring an end-of-life signal that alerts homeowners when it's time to replace the unit. With extended durability and reliable performance, the First Alert SC05B stands out as a trustworthy choice for safeguarding your living environment. Whether you're in an apartment or a larger home, investing in the First Alert SC05B is a proactive step toward ensuring a safer living space for you and your loved ones.
