early warning of a fire. It features a photoelectric smoke sensing chamber, an
85dB horn, a supervised 9V battery power supply (cat. no. SA710AB features an
extended life alkaline battery), a single button test/silence switch, a silence
feature to silence unwanted nuisance alarms, a red LED light that indicates DC

power drops to a pre-set warning level, the horn will “chirp” approximately once
per minute to indicate a fresh battery is needed. Designed for wall or ceiling
