  • Page 2: Smoke Alarm Limitations And Functions

    SMOKE ALARM LIMITATIONS AND FUNCTIONS There are three basic smoke alarm types: IoPhic , Ionization and Photoelectric.   IoPhic is an ionization alarm containing a patent-pending Universal Smoke Sensing Technology.   IoPhic alarms are very effective at detecting fast flaming fires and also respond very quickly to slow smoldering fires - up to 87% faster than the maximum allowable alarm limit (UL217 Smoldering Smoke Test on 5/26/2010, Underwriters Laboratories Project #09CA38078).

  • Page 3: Avoid These Locations

    • Locate at least one smoke alarm on every floor level. • Locate a smoke alarm in any area where a smoker sleeps or where electrical appliances are operated in sleeping areas. • Smoke, heat and other combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.

  • Page 4: Early Warning
