SENSOR TECHNOLOGYThere are two main types of smoke alarm.The SI-610 Standard Smoke Alarm uses anionisationtypesensortodetectthepresenceof smoke. Ionisation type smoke alarms aregenerally more effective at detecting fast,flaming fires which consume combustiblematerials rapidly and spread fire quickly.The SO-610 Toast Proof Smoke Alarm usesanoptical(photoelectric)typesensorwhichismore effective at detecting slowburningfires, which can smoulder for hours beforeburstingintoflames.

TOAST PROOF = Less sensitive to cookingfumes. (Optical alarms are less prone tonuisancealarmsduetocookingfumes.)

For maximum protection, use both types of smoke alarm on each level of your home
