FAQs
What makes Reliance smoke detectors electrically robust and reliable?
Reliance smoke detectors are built with industrial-grade components that tolerate wide voltage fluctuations (90â250 VAC) and high transient surges up to 6 kV. The circuitry is conformal-coated to resist humidity, dust, and corrosive atmospheres, while gold-plated contacts and a sealed photo-chamber prevent oxidation. Each unit is 100 % function-tested at elevated temperature and vibration to verify long-term electrical stability.
Which sensing technologies do Reliance smoke detectors use?
Our range includes photoelectric, ionization, and dual-sensor models. Photoelectric detectors are highly responsive to smoldering fires, ionization units react faster to fast-flaming fires, and the dual-sensor design combines both principles for maximum coverage. Every model also features a built-in microprocessor that analyzes signal patterns to minimize nuisance alarms.
How are the detectors powered and what happens during a power failure?
Standard models are hard-wired to the buildingâs mains supply but include a field-replaceable lithium backup battery that provides a minimum of 72 hours of operation during an outage. A low-battery condition triggers an 85 dB audible chirp and an LED indicator. Optional 24 V DC versions are available for commercial fire panels, and certain smart models support Power over Ethernet (PoE) for combined data and power.
What maintenance and testing schedule does Reliance recommend?
Press the test button weekly to verify sounder and circuit integrity. Vacuum the detector face quarterly to remove dust. Replace backup batteries every five years or when the low-battery signal sounds. All detectors should be replaced ten years from the manufacture date, per NFPA 72 guidelines. Reliance offers an NFC smartphone app that logs each test and generates maintenance reports for compliance audits.
Can Reliance smoke detectors be interconnected or integrated with smart systems?
Yes. Up to 24 detectors can be interconnected on a single circuit; when one unit alarms, all linked units sound. Smart variants include Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi radios that send real-time alerts to the Reliance Cloud App and integrate with popular platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and most building management systems via open BACnet/IP or Modbus protocols.
Are the detectors certified and what warranty is provided?
All Reliance smoke detectors are UL 217/UL 268 listed, comply with NFPA 72, and carry CE and RoHS marks where applicable. They are also tested to IEC 61000-4 EMC standards for electrical reliability. Each detector comes with a 10-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, and a 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee for direct purchases.
