Ademco Inc. 1046836 120V Ac Ionization Smoke Alarm

Product Description

The ADEMCO INC. 1046836 is a 120-volt AC ionization smoke alarm designed for hardwired residential and light commercial installations. It uses an ionization sensor to detect fast-flaming fires that consume combustible materials rapidly. The unit operates on 120 volts AC and includes battery backup for continuous protection during power interruptions. It is designed for straightforward installation and reduced nuisance alarm frequency, making it a reliable choice for licensed electricians and HVAC technicians handling life-safety device retrofits or new construction rough-ins.

This smoke alarm is suited for residential and light commercial applications where hardwired, interconnected smoke detection is required by code. The 1046836 supports interconnection with up to 12 other compatible smoke alarms and up to 6 additional compatible devices such as bells, horns, repeaters, and door closers, for a maximum of 18 interconnected devices total. When any single unit in the series triggers an alarm, all interconnected smoke alarms sound simultaneously. Power indicators identify which unit in the series initiated the alarm, simplifying troubleshooting during service calls.
