Reduce With New Smoke Alarm Technology

First Alert's Precision Detection advanced sensing technology meets new industry standards to better distinguish between cooking smoke or steam and a fire emergency to reduce nuisance alarms.

Precision Detection

As a leader and the most trusted brand in fire safety, First Alert has introduced Precision Detection advanced sensing technology to meet new UL 217 8th Edition standards requiring smoke alarms and combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarms to reduce nuisance alarms and detect smoke from synthetic materials.

First Alert’s Precision Detection alarms provide advanced and reliable fire protection to help protect what matters most.

Advantages of Precision Detection

Less Nuisance

Distinguishes between cooking smoke or steam and a fire emergency to reduce nuisance alarms and temporarily removing the batteries or smoke alarms in your home.

Early Warning

Provides an early warning because today’s home furnishing and materials burn hotter and faster and may result in less time for a safe evacuation if a fire breaks out.
