Why are smoke-alarms mandatory in many EU countries?
Smoke-alarms are now mandatory in most EU countries. An important reason for this is that you can't smell anything when you're sleeping, not even smoke. But even if you're in the living room and a fire breaks out on the upper floor, it can take a long time before you notice. Or if you're working in the office and a fire breaks out in the workshop, it takes a while before you're warned. Smoke-alarms warn you of a fire at an early stage, so that you can take timely measures.
Optical smoke-alarms
Optical smoke-alarms are particularly sensitive to detect visible microparticles (which are created by smouldering fires) and respond faster than ionization smoke detectors. An example of such smouldering fires is a burning cigarette on a couch or bed, a common cause of devastating fires. All our smoke-alarms are of the optical-smoke-alarm-type.
Self-calibrating advanced smoke-alarms
Our smoke-alarms of the DVM-SA30 Series are equipped with a self-calibration capability. This ensures that your smoke- larm keeps its sensitivity, even when they are being used for a long time, thus minimising false-alarms.
Smoke-alarm with a fixed 10-year battery
Our smoke-alarms of the DVM-SA30 Series have a fixed 3V battery that lasts 10 years. No battery replacement is required during the legal lifetime of your smoke-alarm. After that period, you must replace the smoke-alarm with a new one. The only maintenance remaining is to clean the smoke-alarm once a month with a vacuum cleaner to keep the slots, that allow smoke to enter the detection chamber, open.
Smoke-alarm with an alarm-pause-button
Our advanced smoke-alarms of the DVM-SA30 Series are equipped with an Alarm-pause-button. If the smoke-alarm goes off it will produce a nerving sound of over 84 dB (decibels) and the LED flashes. To allow you to stay calm and investigate the source of the alarm, it is possible to temporarily switch-off the smoke-alarm-sound for some 8 minutes. If you have not found the source of the smoke or of the false alarm after that period, the alarm-sound will come back. In that case we advise you to leave the premises and call the fire brigade from outside your house. Do NOT get back into the house, e.g. to retrieve belongings, until the fire brigade allows you to get back-in.
Easy installation of a smoke-alarm (no drilling required)
Our smoke-alarms are easy to install, especially if you choose the version with a Magnetic Mounting Plate: drilling and screwing is no longer necessary. You just stick one plate to the ceiling and the other plate to the smoke-alarm. The magnets in one plate allow you to just click the smoke alarm to the ceiling now.

Interlinked smoke-alarms
For maximum safety, choose our interlinked smoke-alarms: if one smoke-alarm goes off all connected smoke-alarms, heat-alarms and carbon-monoxide-alarms go off. You will thus be warned in the basement even if the alarm goes off in the attic.
