Smoke detector GIRA 114502 — photoelectrical reflection, battery 9V, 85 dB, 10-year battery life

The GIRA 114502 smoke detector is a photoelectric scattered-light alarm designed for early detection of smoke and fire in homes and small commercial spaces. The white, low-profile unit runs on a 9 V battery with at least 10 years rated battery life and emits an 85 dB pulsing alarm and a red LED ring when smoke is detected. The device uses the photoelectric scattered-light principle to measure smoke particle density and triggers an alarm once the scattered light concentration exceeds the detection threshold. The GIRA Basic Q model carries the Q quality seal and complies with DIN EN 14604:2009-02 and vfdb guideline 14-01.

Advantages

The detector offers reliable early warning through photoelectric scattered-light measurement, reducing response time in case of fire. Its integrated long-life 9 V battery provides at least 10 years of operation without replacement, while the device monitors battery voltage and signals a replacement need 30 days in advance. Certification with the Q quality seal ensures verified durability, reduced false alarms and increased stability against external influences. With an 85 dB alarm and a visible red LED ring, the unit provides clear audible and visual alerts. The compact, flat design allows for simple ceiling mounting without wiring.

Suitable for

• Bedrooms and children's rooms
• Hallways and staircases
• Single-story and multi-story residential buildings
• Small commercial premises where a standalone battery smoke detector is appropriate

How to use

Mount the smoke detector on the ceiling, preferably in the centre of the room, using the included bracket or mounting hardware. Install units in every bedroom, children's room, hallway and on each floor of multi-story buildings to ensure minimum protection for occupants. Keep the detector away from direct cooking areas or water vapour sources in kitchens to minimise false alarms. The battery-operated device requires no wiring; it continuously analyses scattered light and triggers the audible and visual alarm when smoke concentration exceeds the threshold.

Usage recommendations

Test the detector regularly according to local regulations and the manufacturer’s instructions. Replace the device when the end-of-life signal appears (the unit will notify you 30 days before replacement is required). For comprehensive protection, install at least one detector per floor and one in each bedroom, and consider equipping all rooms where practicable.
