Maintenance Free Smoke Alarm with a Sealed 10-Year Battery

Product Overview

The JKD-518 is a maintenance free smoke alarm designed to reduce routine servicing throughout its intended product life. Equipped with a sealed 10-year lithium battery, the detector eliminates the need for regular battery replacement, making it a practical choice for residential buildings, rental properties and large housing developments.

The detector uses a photoelectric smoke sensor to monitor for smoke generated during the early stages of many residential fires. When smoke reaches the alarm threshold, it activates an audible alarm of at least 85dB to warn occupants.

Manufactured according to EN14604:2005/AC:2008, the JKD-518 is also available for projects requiring AS3786:2023 compliance, allowing distributors to supply both European and Australian residential markets.

Why Choose a Maintenance Free Smoke Alarm?

Routine battery replacement is one of the most common maintenance tasks associated with traditional smoke alarms. A detector with a sealed long-life battery helps reduce these maintenance requirements.

The JKD-518 offers practical advantages for projects where long-term reliability and simplified maintenance are important:

• No scheduled battery replacement during the intended service life
• Lower maintenance workload for property managers
• Reduced risk of batteries being removed by occupants
• Suitable for rental housing and apartment projects
• Simplified after-sales maintenance planning

While routine battery replacement is not required, regular testing using the test button remains necessary to confirm the detector is operating correctly.
