Ionisation

Smoke Alarm with Hush

Manual

Model Q946

Ionisation smoke alarms are designed to detect invisible particles
(associated with fast flaming fires). Home fires develop in different ways
and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection against fast
flaming fires and slow smouldering fires, both ionisation and photoelectric
alarms should be installed.
