have an 85 decibel horn, test switch, and lighted power/alarm LED
indicators. The 4480 smoke alarms can be interconnected with Firex
ionization as well as photoelectric smoke alarms for the best smoke
detection system.
| 4480 |
120V AC Direct Wire with Battery Back-up
for single or multiple station use. The 4480 is interconnectable up to
18 Firex AC/DC units, 6 of which may be Firex heat alarms. This unit has
two separate lighted LEDs — green "power-on" LED confirms constant AC
power and the red LED displays alarm/battery status. |
These FireX
smoke alarms should be placed in single-family households or in each
individual living unit of multiple-family buildings. All smoke alarms
should be replaced every 10 years. |

Why
Install a FireX Photoelectric Smoke Alarm? |
|
Firex photoelectric
smoke alarms respond to slow burning, visible smoke caused by smoldering
fires. Designed for use in kitchens and furnace rooms, they reduce nuisance
caused by cooking fumes or high humidity. With installer focused innovations
such as gasketless mounting, separate mounting bracket as well as
state-of-the-art production testing equipment, Firex photoelectric smoke
alarms have earned their reputation as the most preferred smoke alarms among
contractors. |
