Autonomous fire alarm - effective and reliable protection for your home

December 6, 2021

Everyone knows about the existence of autonomous smoke detectors today. The necessity of their installation has long been beyond doubt, however, many people still do not fully understand the importance of this device and how it can timely alert about danger and provide an opportunity to save people and property from fire. To protect yourself and your loved ones, we suggest you consider installing an autonomous smoke detector in your home.

Why is an autonomous smoke detector needed in every home? To get an answer to this question, consider: would you like to know about a fire starting in your apartment or house in a timely manner? Is there a chance to detect a fire in the house at night, when a person is asleep and cannot smell smoke? It would seem that the answer is obvious. And there is a reason for the old saying: "A thief will pass by and leave the walls, fire will pass by and take everything, leaving only ashes."

However, at the same time, most people are convinced that a fire can happen anywhere but not in their home. Many say that they do not drink or smoke, so they do not need a smoke detector. But fires do not only happen for this reason. Short circuits in electrical wiring, a poorly maintained stove, a forgotten iron, food left unattended on the stove, or children playing with fire – this is not an exhaustive list of fire causes that are constantly reported by the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Practice shows that in households equipped with autonomous smoke detectors, the safety level of residents is many times higher. In 2020 alone, 65 people, including 21 children, were saved in the Republic thanks to the activation of autonomous smoke detectors. This year, over 10 months, 86 people have already been saved, and 23 children have been given a chance to live and grow.

The API is sensitive even to minor smoke in the room, which contributes to the rapid detection of fire at an early stage of its development. When smoke appears, it emits a powerful audible alarm that can alert and even wake a sleeping person, thereby providing an opportunity to take measures to protect oneself, family, and property.

The installation of the detector does not require special knowledge or skills. A detailed instruction manual is included with it, containing all the necessary information on installation, design, and operating rules. It is recommended to install the API in the central part of the ceiling with a slight offset towards the window or door – where constant air exchange is ensured.
