Quell Q1400 10-Year Battery Photoelectric Smoke Alarm

The Quell Q1400 Photoelectric Smoke Alarm is designed to detect visible particles from smouldering fires. Compact in size, this easy-to-install device features a 10-year sealed battery that powers the alarm for its entire lifespan—removing the need for battery changes or replacements. This alarm will only operate whilst attached to the mounting plate. Photoelectric alarms work by aiming a light source (LED) through a sensing chamber to a receiver. When particles enter the chamber, changes to the light pattern are detected by the receiver, which in turn triggers an alarm. Regular maintenance of your smoke alarms can help reduce the probability of nuisance alarms occurring and ensure the longevity of your device. Refer to these handy tips for guidance. Regular Cleaning - Prevent dirt and debris from entering the smoke alarm chamber by regularly cleaning your alarm. Proper Installation - Install smoke alarms in suitable locations, avoiding areas of high airflow, dead air space, or where steam or high humidity may be present. Battery Replacement - Alarms with 9V batteries should have the battery replaced at least once a year.
