Dual Sensor

There are three basic types of home smoke alarms: photoelectric, ionization, and dual sensor. Photoelectric alarms are generally more responsive to smoke from a slow, smoldering fire. Whereas ionization alarms are best at detecting smoke from a fast, flaming fire. Dual sensor smoke alarms use both ionization and photoelectric technologies in one alarm. The sensors work together to equip your home with comprehensive smoke and fire detection. By using both photoelectric and ionization technology, this 10-Year Battery Dual Sensor Smoke Alarm can help provide the earliest possible warning, regardless of the type of fire.
