Wireless Smoke Detectors Frequently Asked Questions
Smoke Detector vs. Heat Detector
A smoke detector responds to the presence of smoke. A heat detector responds to unusually high temperatures. Both indicate that there is a fire. Learn about fire-safety products.
How Do I Test My 2GIG SMKT3-345?
The 2GIG SMKT3-345 Smoke and Heat Detector has a test button for testing the sounder, LED lights and transmitter. But smoke and heat detection must be tested manually. Learn about the SMKT3-345.
How Do I Reset the Fire Alarm on My Security System?
In most cases, disarming the system twice will reset the fire alarm and clear the display. The smoke detector must be free of smoke when doing this. Learn to reset the fire alarm.
