*Local codes permitting
**Note: Based on average retrofitting costs of time, material and
labor to connect to existing alarm circuit, drywall repairs, painting, etc.
Special cases that require conduit, wire mold, concrete drilling, etc.
would add additional costs and increase savings.

• Wireless interconnect technology eliminates the need to pull wires
through existing walls

• Save an average of between $150 - $200** per alarm when
compared to retrofitting hardwired alarms in existing walls or ceilings

• Faster job turnaround - 4X more jobs completed increases your profits

• Photoelectric sensing technology saves maintenance calls with fewer nuisance alarms.

Cost Effective Retrofit & Remodel Solutions

No matte r what your renovation project,
First Al ert One Link provid es a cost e ffective solution:

Home Ad dition Pr ojects:

Using the First Alert OneLink hardwired "Bridge Unit" (SA520B), simply replace one
hardwired alarm in the existing section and add one to the new section. Wireless
technology saves time, material and labor to connect to the existing alarm circuit.
Now add standard BRK hardwired alarms as required in the new section and other
First Alert OneLink batter y alarms in the old section to complete the alarm safety
system and bring entire home up to code. All alarms, hardwired and batter y,
existing and new are now interconnected.

Retrof it Proje cts:

Property Owners, Facility Managers and Electrical Contractors can all benefit from
installing First Alert OneLink alarms for existing r etrofit projects. Saving $150 - $200**
per alarm and increasing job turnaround 4X are key reasons to consider First Aler t
OneLink alarms for all of your renovation projects.

When it comes to alarm renovation and retrofit projects, choices have been
limited. Installing battery operated alarms and sacrificing inter connectability
or investing in the time and labor to retrofit hardwired alarms have been the
only options available.* Until Now! First Alert OneLink eliminates the need to
pull wires through existing walls saving time, money and labor.

Putting the Innovation in Renovation

• Exclusive! Voice alarm with programmable location. Programmable with up to 11 locations
(ex. “basement”). When alarm sounds (if programmed for basement), it will say, “Warning,
Evacuate, Smoke in Basement”. If other First Alert OneLink Voice Warning alarms are
located throughout the house they will also signal, “Warning, Evacuate, Smoke in Basement”.

• Add additional battery-operated First Aler t Enabled Alarms to create a wireless
safety network.

• 5-year limited warranty.

Dust Cover:

Keeps alarm clean during construction.

First Alert®

Technology

All

alarms include these quality innovative features:

Photoelectric Technology: Helps reduce nuisance alarms,
especially around kitchens and baths which are more prone
to nuisance alarms from cooking smoke and shower steam.

Test/Silence Button:

Tests alarm functions and battery.
Silences unwanted alarms. Two silence features - Temporarily
silence low battery chirp for up to 8 hours before replacing
battery or silence unwanted alarm for several minutes.

Perfect Mount:

mounting bracket keeps alarm secure over a

wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment.

Optipath 360 Technology™:

Patented technology

provides 360 degrees of direct access to smoke sensor.

RF Interconnect:

Reliable and secure radio frequency
communication between alarms. 915 MHz frequency with
65,000 security codes and 3 channel frequency hopping.

Spread Spectrum Horn Tone:

Lower and varying horn
frequency makes it easier for elderly with normal age
related hearing loss to hear horn. Sweeps through the
2200 - 3400 Hz range.

Latching Features

Alarm Latch: Easily identifies
initiating alarm even after alarm condition has subsided.
Low Battery Latch: Identifies which unit is in low battery
condition. Both features activate for up to 15 minutes.

First Alert OneLink alar ms operate on a "mesh network"; a
2-way communication format that sends, receives and then
re-sends the alarm signals. If the initiating alarm signal is
blocked from reaching one of the alarms, the mesh network
communication reroutes and re-sends the signal via the other
alarms as shown in the illustration. With competitive one-way
wireless communication, only the initiating alarm sends a
signal which may never be received, leaving the blocked alarm
deadly silent
