Photoelectric Smoke Alarm for Residential Fire Detection

Product Overview

The JKD-517 is a standalone photoelectric smoke alarm developed for residential fire detection. It uses an optical sensing chamber to detect smoke particles generated during the early stages of many household fires, providing an audible warning when smoke reaches the specified alarm threshold.

Powered by two replaceable 1.5V AA batteries, the detector operates independently without requiring mains power, wireless communication or a mobile application. It is suitable for new residential installations, renovation projects and replacement programs where a standalone smoke alarm is required.

Manufactured according to EN14604:2005/AC:2008, the JKD-517 is available for OEM manufacturing, wholesale distribution and private-label cooperation for international customers. EN 14604 is the principal European standard for standalone residential smoke alarms.

Why Choose a Photoelectric Smoke Alarm?

Photoelectric smoke alarms are widely used in residential buildings because they respond to visible smoke particles commonly produced during smouldering fires.

The JKD-517 uses a photoelectric reflection sensor with a specified smoke sensitivity of 0.25dB/m, helping provide reliable smoke detection in accordance with its product specification.

For distributors and importers, choosing a photoelectric smoke alarm also aligns with the product category commonly specified for residential fire safety products in Europe.
