Here we are, since the legal date of March 8, 2015, all households must now be equipped with at least one smoke detector. A detector is a simple and effective way to be alerted in case of a fire. ManoMano presents models that meet the mandatory standards CF - NF EN 14604.
An installation within everyone's reach
90% of detectors are very easy to install and really accessible for anyone. It is also important to check the battery condition every year. Most detectors are equipped with a safety feature that triggers an alarm when the battery is almost drained.
Where to install the detector?
Even if it is not necessary to place one in every room, the smoke detector should be installed in key locations such as corridors, halls, or intersections of multiple rooms. Thus, every inhabitant can be informed in case of an alarm.
Which model?
All detectors operate the same way, the price difference comes from the number of detectors if it's a set, as well as the type of power supply for the smoke detector:
- smoke detectors with a standard battery, which last on average 1 year
- smoke detectors with a lithium battery that last on average 10 years
Other very practical features can complete the use of the detector such as a button that tests the proper functioning and charge of the device, a remote control to easily silence the sound in case of a false alarm, or even a link with a connected tele-assistance.
There are also detectors connected by radio to vibrating or light devices to alert people with disabilities.
