Alecto SD530 Smoke Detector with Photoelectric Sensor and 85 dB Alarm

The Alecto SD530 Smoke Detector with Photoelectric Sensor and 85 dB Alarm is designed to provide reliable early warning protection for residential spaces. Equipped with an advanced optical sensor, it quickly and accurately detects visible smoke produced by slow smoldering fires as well as fast-flaming incidents. Operating independently on a replaceable 9V battery with a lifespan of up to 5 years, this detector ensures continuous safety without the need for complex wiring. It features a loud 85 dB acoustic alarm that alerts occupants promptly, along with convenient test functions and maintenance indicators to ensure reliable everyday operation.

Advantages

The Alecto SD530 offers dependable residential fire safety through its photoelectric sensing technology, which minimizes false alarms while reacting swiftly to real threats. The inclusion of a replaceable 9V battery providing up to 5 years of operation reduces the frequency of battery changes compared to standard models. Its sensor is engineered for a 10-year lifespan, providing long-term value. The loud 85 dB alarm ensures that the warning signal can be heard across rooms, and the automatic alarm cessation feature stops the sound once the air is clear. Installation is straightforward with the provided mounting hardware, and the integrated test button allows for quick manual verification of the unit's operational status.

Suitable for

• Residential houses and apartments
• Living rooms and bedrooms
• Hallways and escape routes
• Home offices

When it may not be suitable

This smoke detector is not designed for industrial environments, commercial warehouses, or heavy-duty manufacturing facilities where conditions exceed standard residential parameters. It is also unsuitable for installation in areas with high levels of steam, dust, or combustion fumes, such as unventilated kitchens or garages, as these elements can trigger unwanted false alarms.

Key specifications

• Photoelectric sensor with a 10-year operational lifespan
• 85 dB acoustic alarm volume
• Replaceable 9V battery with up to 5 years of battery life
• Compliance with EN14604:2005/AC:2008 standard
• Integrated test button for manual checks
• Low battery warning signal
• Automatic alarm stop function

How to use

To use the Alecto SD530, mount the device securely to the ceiling using the supplied screws and plugs, following the layout guidelines for residential safety. Once installed, test the unit by pressing the integrated test button to verify that the acoustic signal functions correctly. The device continuously monitors the environment and will automatically emit an 85 dB alarm if smoke particles enter the optical chamber. When the battery voltage drops, a low battery warning signal will alert you that the 9V power source needs replacement. Regular maintenance involves keeping the exterior clean and performing routine manual tests.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the intended installation location complies with local fire safety regulations
• Ensure the environment is suitable for a photoelectric residential detector rather than an industrial alternative
• Note that the 9V battery requires replacement approximately every 5 years
• Check ceiling compatibility for mounting with screws and plugs

Usage recommendations: Test the smoke detector weekly using the test button to ensure ongoing reliability and correct alarm response. Replace the 9V battery promptly when the low battery warning activates, and do not paint or cover the detector housing to maintain unobstructed airflow to the sensor.
