A: The built-in sounder reaches 85 dB at 3 metres, loud enough to wake sleepers in a typical bedroom when installed per the alarm placement rules.
Q: Does it come with EN54 certification?
A: Yes. The detector is EN54-7 and CE certified, and UL 217 listed versions are available for projects specifying UL.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: Standard models run up to 1 year on a 9V battery and several years on 3V lithium versions; 10-year sealed battery models need no battery change at all.
