2. Types of Alarm

a. Power Supply

•

DC alarms

9V battery powered units, but will only function if battery is in good

condition – check regularly (AS 3786).

•

AC/DC alarms

240V mains – for professional installation. Minimum required to comply

with relevant local Building Regulations. Interconnectable to other Quell

Alarms, so all will sound when one is triggered. If mains power is lost,

will operate via battery power if batteries are fresh/properly installed.

Some models use replaceable 9V batteries. This type is the minimum

grade acceptable on new or materially altered dwellings.

WARNING:

This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave

or modified sine wave inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes

used to supply power to the structure in off grid installations, such as

solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources produce

high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.

b. Alarm Types

•

Ionisation (Ion) alarms

are the most common type and provide early

detection against fast flaming fires and other fires. Most suitable for dining

and living room areas. Ion alarms contain 0.9 microcurie of Americium

241, a radioactive material.
