The tamperproof design will not allow the powercells to be removed after installation. The low power warning indicator will cause the alarm to "chirp" when it reaches the end of its service life and needs to be replaced. Upon end of life, the unit meets UL requirements for disabling the alarm and non-reinstallation of unit to mounting bracket.

Designed for surface mounting, the SA340B includes mounting anchors and screws. Includes a gasketless base for easy installation and a new mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment.
