USI Hardwired Smoke, Fire and Carbon Monoxide Detector With 10 Year Sealed Battery Backup - AMIC1510SC

The USI AMIC1510SC 3-in-1 Sensing Plus^® Hardwired Smoke, Fire & Carbon Monoxide Alarm provides 10 years of continuous protection against deadly threats in the home. New Sensing Plus^® Multi-Criteria Detection provides the benefits of both photoelectric and ionization alarms in one device to protect against fast flaming and slow smoldering fires. This combination alarm also offers protection against the silent killer - carbon monoxide - making it a 3-in-1 detector. The ideal addition for new or replacement installations, Universal Sensing Plus Alarms^® are suitable for houses, apartments and mobile homes in every room.

This 3-in-1 alarm implements a 10 year lithium-free battery (included) that will never have to be replaced throughout the life of the detector, giving you a decade's worth in peace of mind even in the event of a power outage. 10 Year Permanent Power also saves money from battery replacements (up to $38.00 over the 10-year life of the alarm), eliminates annoying low battery chirps and helps the environment by reducing environmental waste from disposed batteries. This combination detector features microprocessor intelligence that assists in completely eliminating nuisance alarms, a single silence/test button to quiet a non-hazardous alarm and an end-of-service life warning that sounds when it's time to replace the battery (approximately 10-years from activation).

Perfect for replacing existing alarms, Universal Security Sensing Plus^® Combination Detectors feature a large mounting base to cover imperfections in drywall and the option to replace retrofitting applications. The quick activation battery pull tab allows for easy installation while the deactivation key switches the alarm off and makes the batteries safe for disposal. Once the 3-in-1 combination detector is deactivated, the tamper resistant feature turns on to prevent deactivated alarms from being reinstalled.

Hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors provide a integrated solution for protecting a home from two of the most significant life-safety threats. These dual-sensor combo detectors are permanently wired into a home's electrical system, ensuring a continuous and stable power source for both smoke and CO detection. This hardwired connection offers superior reliability, as the detectors are always on and actively monitoring for hazards without the risk of a dead or forgotten battery. A key benefit is the ability to interconnect these detectors with other compatible units throughout the house. If one detector senses a threat - whether it's smoke from a fire or a dangerous level of CO - all linked detectors will sound simultaneously, providing an early, widespread warning to all occupants. Many of these hardwired units also include a battery backup, acting as a crucial failsafe to ensure the alarm remains fully operational during a power outage. This integrated, multi-threat approach offers the highest level of dependable and comprehensive protection for your home and family.

• Continuous, Reliable Power: The primary advantage is the constant, stable power source directly from your home's electrical system. This eliminates the risk of an alarm failing due to a forgotten or depleted battery.
• Interconnected System: Hardwired detectors can be linked together, so if one alarm detects smoke or a high level of CO, all connected detectors will sound simultaneously. This is a critical safety feature for larger or multi-story homes, ensuring everyone receives an early warning, no matter where they are.
• Compliance with Codes: Many local building codes now require hardwired, interconnected detectors for new construction and major renovations. Installing a hardwired system ensures your home meets these modern safety standards.
• Tamper-Resistant: Because the alarm is permanently wired into the wall, it's more difficult for children or other occupants to accidentally disable or move the unit.

• Uninterrupted Protection During Power Outages: The 10-year sealed battery serves as a crucial failsafe. It ensures the alarm remains fully operational even if a power outage occurs, which is a time when CO dangers can be elevated from generators or other backup heating sources.
• Eliminates Low-Battery Chirps: You will never be woken up in the middle of the night by the irritating low-battery chirp. The long-life battery is designed to last the entire 10-year lifespan of the alarm, only signaling an "end-of-life" warning when it's time to replace the entire unit.
• Maintenance-Free: For a full decade, you can "set it and forget it." You won't have to remember to change the battery annually, saving you time, money, and the risk of operating a non-functional alarm.
• Combined Reliability: The combination of a hardwired power source and a long-life battery backup provides the highest level of dependability and peace of mind, offering the best of both worlds in home safety.
