Smoke Detector

Smoke Detector Buying in Bangladesh

A smoke detector is a safety device that senses the presence of smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. It is a critical component of fire protection systems in homes, offices, and other buildings. Here’s a brief overview:

🔥 Types of Smoke Detectors

1. Ionization Smoke Detectors

   • Best at detecting fast-flaming fires.

   • Uses a small amount of radioactive material between two electrically charged plates.

   • Smoke disrupts the ion flow, triggering the alarm.

2. Photoelectric Smoke Detectors

   • Best at detecting smoldering fires (slow-burning).

   • Uses a light beam and sensor—smoke scatters the light, activating the alarm.

3. Dual-Sensor Detectors

   • Combine both ionization and photoelectric technologies for broader coverage.

🛠️ Installation Tips

• Install on every level of the home, especially near bedrooms.

• Mount on the ceiling or high on the wall.

• Avoid placing near kitchens or bathrooms to reduce false alarms.

🔋 Maintenance Checklist

• Test monthly by pressing the test button.

• Replace batteries at least once a year (unless using a 10-year battery).

• Replace the entire unit every 8–10 years.

• Keep the unit clean—vacuum the vents periodically to remove dust.
