Safety factor

Since 2015, the commitment to equip homes with smoke alarms in the respective state building regulations of the individual states is regulated in Germany.
In order for the equipment of dwellings with smoke and fire alarm devices for new buildings and extensive reconstructions is fixed by law. Until now, a transitional period for existing dwellings.

As I read, an estimated 500 people a year die by fire. Over seventy percent of them were killed at night in his sleep by the fire.

These are in ninety percent of cases not even the flames that kill, but the toxic fumes resulting from fires. Often enough, only two to three breaths, to elicit a deep unconsciousness or immediate death.

During sleep, the sense of smell in humans is not active, but the hearing already.

For precisely these reasons, I looked at the smoke and fire detectors with photoelectric sensor ordered because I have a lot of electronic devices in my house. In the AVANTEK smoke and fire detectors is a highly sensitive alarm system that includes a built-in 3 V lithium battery with 10 years of operation as compared to the normal battery-operated alarm devices. This eliminates the replacement of exhausted batteries.

In normal operation, the red LED contained in the smoke and fire detectors flashes every 53 seconds. In alarm condition, it flashes rapidly and the unit are acoustically short and db loud audible alarm 85 sounds. If a fault occurs, the red LED flashes every 40 seconds and are also in this second intervals two acoustic beeps.

The smoke and fire detectors can be easily fixed to the ceiling as the usual commercially available devices, screws and dowels included. It is screwed to the ceiling, on which the alarm device is placed a ring attitude. To check the correct functioning of the device befindlicher the device button is pressed.

To guarantee a safe guarantee of the device in the event of an alarm, the mounting instructions provided by the manufacturer should be followed. For this applies, inter alia:

In turbulent air from fans and near heaters, doors and windows, etc. the smoke and fire detectors should not be mounted. Likewise, there is not in a damp environment such as bathrooms and shower rooms or where the temperature exceeds 39 ° C or below 5 ° C.

According to manual alarm device on the ceiling should be about three feet from the wall mounted. In addition, the manufacturer has listed the most important locations for arranging the device in the drawing.

The manufacturer has given more safety warnings for a correct working smoke and fire detecting apparatus. Thus, small insects, large-scale dust or fume from kitchen and boiler rooms, car exhaust lead in garages to false alarms.

The price of high-quality fire and smoke / fire detectors with photoelectric sensor I think is appropriate. He pays for a ten-year shelf life annually with currently only 1,99 Euro. That should be worth your own safety! In addition, the cost of replaceable batteries omitted.
