Through my testing, I found the Kidde smoke detector to be better performer for fast detection. It has both sensor types: ionization and photoelectric, which is why it was better able to ...
However, it requires a hardwired connection. All smoke detectors use one of two types of sensors to detect fires. Ionization-type sensors are best at detecting fast-burning fires, while ...
Smoke alarms, or at least ionization-based alarms with a tiny amount of radioactive americium, are very simple devices. Inside the alarm, there’s a metal can – an ionization chamber – with ...
