This model is a ionization and photoelectric; the metal part is the ionization, it is radioactive. The plastic Is the photoelectric. Which is a laser; and if the path is interrupted, it is triggered.

ArtisanTony smoke alarms use a radio active element (americium) and a receiver plate. When that plate doesn't get a radioactive signal from the americium, ie blocked by a particulate like smoke or dust it goes off.

Stewart Knight There are photoelectric smoke alarms which use an LED and an LDR. The smoke alarm in this video is a dual ionization and photoelectric one.

The part you put the dust into was the horn. The sensors are the other two, as that is a combo alarm. It uses ionization and photoelectric, but the best result with the sawdust would be to put it into the ionization chamber which is the silver one.
@BukuiZhao3 жыл бұрын
The one that you said is the sensor isn't actually is, it is the horn. The black piece right next to that horn which you said was the sensor is the photoelectric sensor which is better at detecting smoldering fires, and the silver piece next to the horn is the ionization sensor which is better at detecting flaming fires. Some detectors only have one of the above but some other, like yours, have both sensors in.

The 'dust' has to actually get into the sensor unit for the photo electric part to operate. It uses infra red light reflection off dust or other particles to activate the sensor. Take the top off the detector chamber and do it that way, not just pour stuff around the sensor head. The silver unit is an ionisation chamber. Try burning some toast around it and see what happens.
@dumbstuffrc88252 жыл бұрын
Thank you for making your point this is very true. The silver one is ionisation and the black left one is the photoelectric sensor. It will most likely be the ionisation that's making it go off
