Product Information

Full details

This Busch-Jaeger smoke detector from the free@home series is ideal for homeowners and small office managers seeking reliable, long-term fire detection. Its key benefit is continuous, 10-year smoke and fire detection powered by an integrated lithium battery, with early warning for smoldering fires. A potential caveat is that while wireless networking is supported, initial setup may require careful planning for optimal placement.

FAQs

How long does the battery last?

The integrated lithium battery is designed to last for 10 years, providing continuous operation.

Can I connect multiple smoke detectors together?

Yes, up to 20 detectors can be wirelessly connected within the Busch-free@home system. When one detector senses smoke, all connected detectors will sound an alarm.

What type of fire does this detector best detect?

This detector operates on an optical principle and is especially effective for early detection of indoor smoldering fires with smoke development.

What is the Q-label certification?

The Q-label is a quality label from the German Fire Protection Association (VdS) that signifies high safety standards, reliability, and a long service life for smoke detectors.

How loud is the alarm?

The detector emits a loud alarm with a sound pressure level of 85 decibels (dB(A)) at a distance of 3 meters.

How do I test the smoke detector?

Press and hold the combination test/pause button on the detector for a few seconds. The alarm should sound to confirm it is working.

What are the dimensions of the smoke detector?

The smoke detector has a height of 47.5mm and a diameter of 120mm.

Troubleshooting

Detector does not sound when tested

Ensure the detector is properly mounted and activated. Press and hold the test button firmly for at least 5 seconds. If still not responding, the battery may be depleted or the unit may be faulty; consider replacement.

False alarms occur frequently

Check for environmental factors such as steam, cooking fumes, or dust. Ensure the detector is not placed too close to kitchens or bathrooms. Clean the detector's outer casing and sensing chamber carefully with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner on a low setting.

Networked detectors are not alarming simultaneously

Verify that all detectors are correctly paired within the Busch-free@home network. Ensure the wireless signal strength between detectors is adequate. Re-initiate the pairing process if necessary.

Low battery indicator is on (if applicable via system)

While this model has a 10-year sealed battery, some systems may provide end-of-life warnings. If a low battery warning appears, it signifies the unit needs replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Long-lasting 10-year battery life for maintenance-free operation.

  • High audibility alarm (85dB) ensures alerts are heard.
  • VdS certification and Q-label indicate high reliability.
  • Simple installation and unobtrusive design.

Cons

  • Limited to 20 detectors per network, which might be insufficient for very large properties.
  • Wireless networking may require additional setup considerations for optimal signal strength.
  • Optical detection might be less sensitive to very fast-flaming fires compared to ionization detectors in some specific scenarios.
  • Battery is sealed and non-replaceable after the 10-year lifespan.
  • Primarily designed for indoor use; not suitable for extreme environmental conditions.
