A combined heat and smoke detector with batteries you can actually replace. Most wireless smoke detectors are sealed units that get binned at end of life; this one takes fresh cells and stays on the ceiling.

Built for the installer

The smoke sensor is a double-spectrum optical device that identifies smoke by particle size rather than simply reacting to anything in the chamber, and the chamber itself is a patented design that keeps dust, dirt and insects out. Those two things together are what stop a detector crying wolf in a dusty plant room or a kitchen.

The heat sensor adds a high-temperature alarm above 135F and low-temperature detection to UL 521, so it covers the fire signatures that produce heat before visible smoke. It reports to the hub over 905.0-926.5 MHz at up to 5,550 ft.

Key features

  • Replaceable batteries rather than a sealed unit that gets discarded at end of life
  • Double-spectrum optical smoke sensor that identifies smoke by particle size
  • Patented smoke chamber keeping dust, dirt and insects out of the sensor
  • High-temperature alarm above 135F plus low-temperature detection to UL 521
  • Up to 5,550 ft radio range to the hub or a range extender

System requirements

Requires an Ajax hub or range extender. Indoor use, IP20. Check local code for detector spacing and placement before installing.

FAQs

Can the batteries be replaced?
Yes. This is the RB (replaceable battery) version, so the detector stays in service and only the cells are changed, unlike sealed units that are discarded at end of life.
What stops it false-alarming on dust?
The double-spectrum optical sensor identifies smoke by particle size rather than reacting to anything in the chamber, and the patented chamber design keeps dust, dirt and insects out.
Does it detect heat as well as smoke?
Yes. It carries a heat sensor alongside the optical smoke sensor, with a high-temperature alarm above 135F and low-temperature detection meeting UL 521.
Does this device need an Ajax hub?
Yes. All Jeweller devices report to an Ajax hub or a range extender. The device cannot operate standalone and does not connect to a third-party panel directly.
What does the 9NA region code mean?
It is the North America model, operating on the 905.0-926.5 MHz Jeweller band certified to UL/ULC standards. European 868 MHz models are not interchangeable with it.
