13. What is the best Smoke Alarm
Optical or Ionisaton ?
Both types respond in all standard fires but each type may
respond faster to particular fires as shown. For dual protection
install each type.
The Home Office (UK) states (in FB2):
“If your home has more than one floor, at least one alarm
should be fitted on each level. In this case a combination of
Optical & Ionisation alarms, preferably interconnected, will
give best protection”.
Optical Sensor
Best for slow smouldering fires
- large smoke particles
Ion Sensor
Best for fast flaming fires
- small smoke particles
