Description:
The First Alert Cat. No. SA340B is a battery operated, 9V (three 3V lithium power
cells) single station smoke alarm specifically designed for residential and institu-
tional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormi-
tories and other multi-family dwellings as defined in standard NFPA 101. Model
SA340B complies with UL217, CSFM, NFPA 72, HUD, FHA and other agencies that
model their codes after the above agencies. It meets building codes where tam-
perproof 10-year sealed lithium battery operated smoke alarms are required.
First Alert SA340B features a dual ionization smoke sensing chamber, an 85 dB
horn, a sealed 10-year lithium power cell power supply that is permanently in-
stalled upon activation of unit, a single button for test/silence and a red LED that
blinks to indicate unit is receiving power. The tamperproof design will not allow the
powercells to be removed after installation. The low power warning indicator will
cause the alarm to “chirp” when it reaches the end of its service life and needs
to be replaced. Upon end of life, the unit meets UL requirements for disabling the
alarm and non-reinstallation of unit to mounting bracket. Designed for surface
mounting, the SA340B includes mounting anchors and screws. Includes a gasket-
less base for easy installation and a new mounting bracket that keeps the alarm
secure over a wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment.
