Product Description - Hardwired Photoelectric Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup (AH562)

Hardwired Photoelectric Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup

The Hardwired Photoelectric Smoke Alarm (Model AH562) is an elite, code-compliant residential life-safety solution engineered for intelligent fire detection and comprehensive home integration. Powered by a standard 120V AC hardwired system, this advanced detector features a robust DC 9V battery backup safety net to guarantee round-the-clock protection during local utility grid failures. Utilizing a cutting-edge multi-criteria optical sensor, it provides superior detection of dangerous, slow-smoldering fires while significantly lowering false alarms from cooking steam. A built-in smart interconnect terminal allows you to link up to 12 devices together—ensuring that if one alarm sounds, every unit across your home triggers simultaneously. Complete with an integrated test/hush button, low-battery silence options, and automatic End-of-Life (EOL) degradation warnings, this UL 217 certified detector delivers uncompromising peace of mind for modern families.

Key Features

Multi-Criteria Photoelectric Sensor: Features an advanced optical sensing chamber that accurately detects volatile smoke particles from slow-burning fires while remaining highly resistant to common nuisance alarms.
12-Device Synchronized Interconnection: Supports hardwired system linking for up to 12 compatible safety units, providing synchronized whole-home acoustic coverage across multiple levels and rooms.
AC Power with Versatile 9V Backup: Mainlined directly to 120V AC wiring with a dedicated 9V cell compartment (compatible with GP 1640S or EVEREADY 1222 6F22 layouts) to maintain full surveillance during power failures.
Intelligent Silence & Test Functions: Equipped with a convenient, single-touch button matrix to execute routine diagnostic performance tests or safely quiet low-battery chirps for up to 10 hours.
Automatic End-of-Life (EOL) Diagnostic: Monitored by internal circuitry that tracks signal attenuation; the device auto-generates a clear fault notification when components degrade, signaling a mandatory replacement window.
Acoustic Emergency Broadcast: Emits a powerful, pulsing >85dB alert pattern at 10 feet following strict ISO8201 cadence protocols alongside an immediate flashing red LED warning display.
Elite Multi-National Certifications: Formally tested and certified to comply with strict UL 217 and CAN/ULC-S531 safety standards for fire warning equipment throughout the United States and Canada.
