The Universal Security Instruments MPC122S 2-in-1 Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm provides 10 years of continuous protection against deadly threats in the home. The utilization of Photoelectric Technology allows for increased efficiency in detecting slow smoldering fires. This USI 2-in-1 Alarm has also been equipped with a CO detector that's capable of sensing the presence of carbon monoxide in the surrounding area. Perfect for new or replacement installations, this maintenance-free alarm is suitable for houses, apartments and mobile homes. The sealed battery (included) will never have to be replaced throughout the life of the alarm, giving you a decade's worth in peace of mind even in the event of a power outage. Permanent Power also saves money from battery replacements (up to $38.00 over the 10-year life of the alarm), eliminates annoying low battery chirps and helps the environment by reducing environmental waste from disposed batteries. This detector features smart alarm technology to assist in completely eliminating nuisance alarms, a single silence/test button to quiet a non-hazardous alarm and an end-of-service life warning that sounds when it's time to replace the battery (approximately 10-years from activation). The perfect replacement for existing Universal Security Instruments Alarms, this unit features a large mounting base to cover imperfections in drywall and the option to replace retrofitting applications. The quick deactivation key switches the alarm off and makes the batteries safe for disposal. Once the alarm is deactivated, the tamper resistant feature turns on to prevent deactivated alarms from being reinstalled. This USI Combination Alarm exceeds industry standards by meeting new laws and legislation. The Universal Security Instruments MPC122S 2-in1 Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm is ETL listed to UL Standard UL 217 and UL2034. This USI Alarm is also California State Fire Marshal approved.
Stay Safe With a Combination Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector Install a smoke and carbon monoxide detector so you can easily be alarmed when harmful fumes are detected. Detectors today can check for both smoke and carbon monoxide readings, so consider a hybrid version to get two detectors in one. A hybrid detector also saves you the hassle of needing to
change two sets of batteries. Hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detector models run on your home's main power source. These hardwired detectors are always running so long as the home has working electricity, and usually don't require maintenance until they need a replacement (check the packaging for expiration dates). Battery-powered detectors can run even without an electrical source, but require AA or 9-volt batteries that need to be replaced periodically. Detectors
like the First Alert smoke and carbon monoxide detector require intermediate wiring skills for proper installation. Learn how to Install a Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm for a step-by-step walkthrough of the process. This guide also indicates how many alarms you may need to install in your home. Are photoelectric smoke alarm hardwired?All existing private homes, townhouses and units will require photoelectric interconnected smoke alarms. These must be either a hardwired (eg. 240v) or non-removable 10 year battery powered type alarm.
Can you mix hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?Yes. You can replace a smoke detector with a combination smoke/CO unit. All modern First Alert and BRK alarms use the same wire harness and connector.
Which is better hardwired or battery smoke detectors?Once installed, though, hardwired smoke detectors are better than their battery-powered counterparts in every major aspect—safety, efficiency, maintenance and compliance with local codes.
How long do hard wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors last?The Lifespan of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
A smoke detector with a lithium battery or a hard-wired smoke detector can last 10 years, at which time you would just replace the whole unit. Carbon monoxide detectors last between five and seven years.
