Description

Featuring a low profile, contemporary design, the First Alert PRC710 Slim Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with 10 Year Battery provides the same protection as a standard smoke alarm while taking up only a fraction of the space. This slim, battery operated smoke detector requires no hardwiring for installation, making it an ideal solution for those who want to enhance fire safety without hiring an electrician. It features a built in 10 year lithium ion battery that provides continuous power for up to a decade. Equipped with an ultra reliable photoelectric sensor, the smoke alarm detects smoke from slow burning, smoldering fires while keeping false alarms to a minimum. A patented smoke entry system further enhances the detector's reliability by providing a direct path to the smoke sensor. The unit also features an advanced electrochemical sensor that detects carbon monoxide leaks from multiple sources such as faulty fuel burning appliances and blocked chimneys. The simple twist lock mounting system installs easily onto a wall or ceiling, while the tamper resistant locks help prevent removal of the battery to keep the alarm secure. Half as thick as a standard alarm, the smoke detector has a sleek, slim design that blends in seamlessly with most decor. A loud 85 decibel alarm sounds when smoke is detected, and a convenient test/silence button lets you easily check alarm function and mute false alarms. TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS: Activating the battery. Mount alarm to mounting bracket to activate. Once unit is activated, it cannot be turned off. NOTE: After you activate the battery, the power indicator light may flash. (If the unit alarms, the light will blink rapidly, and the horn will repeatedly sound 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps.) Once the Smoke Alarm is on the bracket, you can rotate the Alarm to adjust the alignment. Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air may also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions for use. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit. If the Smoke/CO Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately. DO NOT LOCATE THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM: In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as fa from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible. Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms. In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity. In direct sunlight. In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors. In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages. In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber. Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor. In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

  • Loud alarm, subject to dust/dirt false alarms
Style: Standard Detection Pattern Name: PRC710
Replaced the alarm after the one in our RV started spuriously alarming. Within a few months, the new one started doing the same thing. Looking back, I recognized that we had recently started using a small fan to direct air to the temperature sensor for the A/C unit, so I suspected dirt might be the cause. I used low pressure air to blow out the assembly, going around it several times. No more spurious alarms. I will now have to go back and blow out the original, since it was only 5 years old. Supposed to be good for 10 years...so... ... show more

  • Convenient, but don't last anywhere near ten years
Style: Precision Detection Pattern Name: SMCO210
Bought to replace identical units that had battery failure after a mere three years. Since the battery is sealed, you just have to chuck the whole thing. Hopefully these will last a bit longer

  • Poor function, disastrous instructions
Style: Standard Detection Pattern Name: PRC710V
If there is one thing you need from a smoke alarm, aside from detecting smoke, it is coherent installation and usage instructions. On a scale of 0 to 10, this smoke alarm probably rates a 1, maybe a zero. Activation is unclear (they expect little bumps on the bracket to push a switch when you install the device, but if you want to "program" it first, i.e. set location, you push the switch in the direction labeled only as "deactivate" in order to activate it. Instructions say nothing about this. ) Deactivation ( break off tab and slide switch further in the same direction ) failed on one of the two identical units I was replacing. Instructions tell you to hold down button to set location, don't tell you that you have less than a second after activating to do so, presumably standing on a ladder. One of our prior units also claims 10 year battery life but failed after 3. Extensive tiny print instructions have a section labeled "where to install" but don't mention that there is a longer section elsewhere, that you probably won't notice among all the unfolding, that is 3 times as long and is "where not to install." This reviewer suggests that "where not to install" should be: "your house or mine, except I already drilled holes for the brackets." ... show more

  • Great customer support
Style: Standard Detection Pattern Name: PRC710
The alarm failed after about two years. Not ideal, but failures will happen. I called them up and without even waiting on hold was connected to a real human being. After hearing the symptoms, she immediately requested a replacement be shipped to me at no charge. Good customer service is rare these days, and is something to take into account before you order a cheap knockoff instead of this. ... show more
