Overview

A single family residence with a hardwired system is the setting for this contractor six pack of ionization alarms. A single button silences nuisance alarms and tests the unit, and lights show when smoke is detected.

The backup battery covers outages, and the interconnect makes all linked alarms sound together. The model number differs from the title, and the power source field reads battery powered.

Who it's for

A builder or homeowner replacing or adding hardwired alarms across one home gets a multipack with interconnection. Buyers who prefer photoelectric sensing, or who have no hardwired circuit, should look at other models.
