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
institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels,
dormitories 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 tamperproof 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
installed 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 gasketless base for easy installation and a new mounting
bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for
perfect alignment.

the following features and functions:
1. A dual ionization sensing chamber.
2. The unit shall be capable of self restoring.
3. Powered by a sealed 10-year lithium powercell with a tamperproof design. The
tamperproof design shall not allow the powercell to be removed after installation. A
low power warning indicator shall 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 shall meet
