Power and Battery Back-up:

Alarm Siting:
Different alarm sensors detect various types of fires and should be placed in appropriate rooms. Heat alarms are ideal for detecting large, fast-flaming fires, commonly caused by kitchen fires. Thus, the Ei144e is perfect for kitchens and garages. Unlike smoke alarms, heat alarms react to heat rather than smoke, making them more resistant to fumes like burnt toast and less likely to cause false alarms.
