A mechanical device that is sensitive to the presence of smoke or particulate material in the air that transmits a signal to a measuring or control instrument. Smoke detectors consist of two basic parts: a sensor to sense the smoke and a very loud electronic horn to wake people up. screwed to your ceiling always.

Cont.
the light emitted from the light source is not detected by the photo sensor. When smoke particles enter the chamber, some of the light is scattered toward the photo sensor. The amount of smoke that enters the chamber increases, more incident light is scattered toward the photo sensor. When the concentration of particles reaches a predetermined threshold, an alarm will sound.

Detection of smoke by attenuated light. Uses a separate emitter and detector. Signals are processed and compared to a reference level. When two consecutive signals exceeding the reference level are received. Time delay circuit triggers the switch to activate the alarm signal.

Ionize means to "knock an electron off" free electron are created. The negative electron is attracted to the plate with a positive voltage, and the positive atom is attracted to the plate with a negative voltage. The electronics in the smoke detector sense the small amount of electrical current that these electrons and ions moving toward the plates represent. When smoke enters the ionization chamber, it disrupts this current. The smoke particles attach to the ions and neutralize them. The smoke detector senses the drop in current between the plates and sets off the horn.

Detects fast, flaming fires Detects smoke produced by flammable liquids, loosely packed light combustibles, and kitchen grease.
Photoelectric
Effective for slow burning, smoldering types of fires. Detects smoke caused by cigarettes burning in furnishings and bedding.

Active detector system. Central detection unit draws air through a network of pipes to detect smoke. The sampling chamber is capable of detecting the presence of smoke particles suspended in air by detecting the light scattered by them in the chamber. The air samples are captured and filtered, removing any contaminants or dust to avoid false alarms. ASD systems actively draw smoke to the detector If smoke is detected, the systems alarm is triggered, and signals then are processed through centralized monitoring unit .

Importance
Deaths occur from breathing in smoke and toxic gases from a fire, not from being burned by flames and Poisonous gases created during a fire, like carbon monoxide, can quickly cause a person to become confused and disoriented Smoke alarms are purposely built to warn and protect those inside buildings from potential fire accidents Playing the Numbers Night time Fire Safety Alerts Invisible Threats

Statistics show that death or serious injury can be avoided in households where smoke alarms are installed and maintained.
