Ademco Inc. 1046731 Photoelectric Smoke Alarm 10-year Sealed

Product Description

The ADEMCO INC. 1046731 is a photoelectric smoke alarm designed for residential fire detection with a sealed, non-replaceable 10-year battery built into the unit. The slim profile housing simplifies ceiling and wall installation in standard residential spaces. Because the battery is factory-sealed for the life of the alarm, there are no scheduled battery replacements during the service life of the unit. Photoelectric sensing technology is effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires common in residential environments. This alarm is sold in a pack of 4 units, making it well suited for whole-home installations or multi-unit service calls.

The 1046731 is intended for residential applications where local fire codes require smoke detection in sleeping areas, hallways, and common living spaces. The slim form factor allows installation on standard electrical boxes or direct surface mounting without requiring deep ceiling cavities. Electricians, HVAC technicians performing IAQ work, and general contractors typically install this type of alarm during new construction, renovation, or routine alarm replacement cycles when existing alarms reach end of service life.

Key Features

• Sealed 10-year battery eliminates the need for battery replacements over the alarm service life
• Photoelectric detection technology optimized for sensing slow-smoldering smoke
• Slim profile design simplifies installation in standard residential ceiling and wall locations
• Sold as a 4-unit pack, reducing per-unit cost on multi-room or multi-unit installs
• End-of-life alarm signals when the unit requires replacement after 10 years

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation smoke alarm for standard residential smoke detection applications where a photoelectric, sealed-battery unit is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local fire codes. Mount the alarm on the ceiling or high on a wall per manufacturer placement guidelines and local code requirements. Do not install in areas subject to excessive humidity, dust, or temperature extremes, as these conditions can trigger nuisance alarms or impair detection. Because the battery is sealed and non-serviceable, the entire unit must be replaced at end of service life.
