Battery Operated Residential Smoke Alarm for European Distribution

Product Overview

The JKD-516 is a battery operated smoke alarm designed for residential fire detection. Powered by two replaceable AA batteries, it operates independently without external wiring, wireless communication or a mobile application, making it suitable for apartments, houses, hotels and residential renovation projects.

Using a photoelectric smoke sensor, the detector responds to visible smoke particles generated during the early stages of many household fires. When smoke reaches the specified alarm threshold of 0.25dB/m, the detector activates an audible alarm of at least 85dB at three metres.

Designed in accordance with EN 14604:2005/AC:2008, the JKD-516 is available for OEM manufacturing, distributor supply and private-label programmes. Customized branding, multilingual manuals and retail packaging can be prepared according to project requirements.

Why Choose a Battery Operated Smoke Alarm?

Battery operated smoke alarms remain one of the most practical solutions for residential fire protection because they can be installed without modifying the building's electrical system. This makes them suitable for both new installations and replacement projects.

The JKD-516 uses two standard AA batteries, allowing users to replace the batteries during the detector's service life instead of replacing the complete unit. For distributors, this configuration also simplifies after-sales support because replacement batteries are widely available in most markets.

With a standby current of less than 50μA, the detector is designed for low power consumption under normal operating conditions.

Key Features

Photoelectric Detection Technology

The optical smoke sensor is designed to detect smoke particles commonly produced by smouldering household fires. Compared with other sensing technologies, photoelectric detection is widely adopted for residential smoke alarm applications.

Replaceable AA Battery Design

Powered by two 1.5V AA batteries, the detector does not require mains wiring or additional power accessories. Battery replacement can be completed without changing the entire alarm.

EN14604 Compliance

The product is manufactured according to EN14604:2005/AC:2008, the European product standard for residential smoke alarms.

Audible Warning

The alarm sound reaches ≥85dB at a distance of three metres, providing a clear audible warning when smoke is detected.

Temporary Alarm Silence

The silence function temporarily suppresses the alarm for approximately ten minutes after the user confirms that there is no fire emergency, helping reduce interruptions caused by cooking fumes or similar non-emergency conditions.
