Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

No one wants to think about a fire in their home, but being prepared and recognizing signs of danger early can help keep you and your family alive and safe. The First Alert SA320CN Double Sensor Battery-Powered Smoke and Fire Alarm is equipped to detect smoke particles caused by both flaming and smoldering fires. For convenience, it allows you to mute false alarms remotely using any remote control and without compromising the alarm's functionality.

The First Alert Double Sensor Smoke and Fire Alarm:

  • Detects both flaming and smoldering fires with dual sensors.
  • Lets you mute false alarms with a remote control.
  • Emits a loud 85 dB alarm for ample warning.
  • Minimizes false alarms by detecting differences between real emergencies and non-threatening conditions.

Dual Sensor Technology For Maximum ProtectionWhile all smoke alarms are designed to detect smoke, different sensing technologies react differently to certain types of fires. This alarm makes use of both ionization and photoelectric sensors to offer the earliest possible warning--regardless of the type of fire.

Sometimes a fire can smolder for hours before erupting into flames. Photoelectric Sensing Technology is more sensitive than Ionization Sensing Technology at detecting these sorts of smoldering fires, like those caused by cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

Other fires erupt into flames quickly, like kitchen grease fires or fires fueled by paper burning in a wastebasket. Ionization Sensing Technology is generally more sensitive than Photoelectric Sensing Technology at detecting these sorts of flaming fires.

Loud Alarm and Reliable Construction for Peace of MindThe loud, 85 dB alarm gets your attention quickly, so you can get out quickly or contain a minor fire before it spreads. Plus the smart dual sensor helps the detector recognize the difference between non-threatening conditions and real emergencies, so false alarms are minimized.

This smoke detector meets the UL 217 standard for dual-sensor home smoke detectors, which means that it has passed tough quality-assurance tests and can be depended on to offer reliable protection.

Remote Mute and Easy Battery Access for Safety and ConvenienceTo mute unnecessary alarms instantly, you can simply point almost any household remote control at the detector and click mute--whether the remote is for your TV, stereo, DVD player, or another appliance. The convenience of this feature means that something as simple as burnt toast never tempts you to take the battery out of your smoke detector and create an unsafe situation in your home. The mute button can also be used to test the alarm function, helping you ensure that your home and family are always protected.

This smoke detector is powered by two standard AA batteries (included). And, because a smoke detector is only effective if it is properly maintained, you'll appreciate that the EZ access battery door means there's no need to remove the alarm from your ceiling when it's time to change the battery.

This smoke detector's neutral, white finish blends in with your décor, and the unit measures just 5.7 x 5.7 x 2.8 inches. It is backed by a limited 10 year warranty.

Enhanced Performance With optimized sensor performance, this smoke detector is the most nuisance-resistant dual sensor alarm on the market.

Costumer Reviews

After my house filled with smoke and my 2 Kiddie smoke detectors did not alarm, I replaced them with this First Alert model. I had already installed a First Alert SA320CN in the basement when the Kiddie I had there unexpectedly fell on the floor and broke (never did figure out why.)

After the Kiddie alarms failed to work, I tested the First Alert in the basement by starting a smoky fire in a metal container. The First Alert alarmed as expected.

Since my experience with the Kiddie detectors, after installing them, I will test alarms in the future with actual fire ; smoke. The little "test" button on the Kiddie detector always worked, but that didn't assure that it would work in an emergency.

Note: the SA320CN has replaced a prior model, SA302, which has been discontinued.

I replaced several battery operated smoke detectors with this model. They were easy to install and are working perfectly. I especially like the feature that will allow me to replace the batteries without removing the unit from the ceiling.
