Replacement for FireAngel SO-601 9V Optical Smoke Alarm
Product Overview
Technical Data
FAQs (2)
The FireAngel SO-601 is a 9V optical smoke alarm with toast proof sensing technology, making it less prone to sound falsely when cooking fumes are present. As the SO-601 is now discontinued FireAngel recommends the ST-622 Thermoptek smoke alarm as the most suitable replacement because it will fit on to existing S0-601 base plates. This means it can be swapped over in seconds with no drilling or obvious marks visible on the ceiling.

Q. Can a smoke alarm be fitted with a sticky adhesive pad in a let property?
A.
The sticky pad is suitable for all battery operated smoke alarms. However, we cannot judge if battery alarms are suitable for your let property, as let properties usually require mains powered alarms. There is some advice to this in the governments guides to fire risk assessments. http://www.safelincs.co.uk/Fire-Risk-Assessment/
Also see the LACoRS guide for let properties.
Q. How long do the batteries last in smoke alarms?
A.
The 9V alkaline batteries and AA alkaline batteries generally last 12 to 18 months. Lithium batteries will usually last 5x longer than their alkaline counterparts, achieving around 5 years lifetime. Some lithium cells are also rechargeable, and when used in a mains-powered alarm may last for the entire functional lifespan of the alarm. Newer alarm models may also feature a "sealed" lithium battery. These batteries are specialist components which are designed to not be removed or need replacing by the user, and have been tested by the alarm manufacturer to ensure they last for the lifetime of the alarm.
Please note: the actual lifetime of your batteries depends on how often the alarms are tested or activated, as sounding the alarm draws more power than when the alarms are "waiting" to detect fire. You should also read your alarm's manual to make sure you only use the recommended types and brands of batteries, as failing to follow these instructions may cause the alarm to malfunction, not alerting you in the event of a fire, and might also invalidate the warranty.

Perfect replacement for a broken and out of date model

Goes off when it should and only when it should. I bought this as a replacement for a previous incarnation of the same or similar alarm from safelinks. Very happy with it. No ridiculous squawking over slightly singed toast and other such nonsense - so when it does go off you know to take it seriously. Wouldn't be without it (them actually!)
