Overview
Universal Security Instruments makes this hardwired alarm under its Sensing Plus line, combining several sensing criteria to detect smoke and fire. A sealed long-life battery backs it up when house power drops.
Long-life backup means no battery swaps for the life of the unit, and hardwiring connects it to house power. The listing gives no bullets, so sensor types, interconnect support and certification are unknown.
Who it's for
Homeowners swapping out an aging hardwired smoke alarm who want a backup battery that does not need changing. Buyers who need confirmed specs for inspections should get the data sheet first.
Pros and cons
- Hardwired to house power
- Long-life battery backup
- Compact and light
- Sensor details not listed
- Hardwiring needs existing wiring
- Very sparse product information
Performance notes
Detection depends on the multi-criteria sensing, which the listing names without explaining. House power runs it day to day, and the backup battery covers outages.
