Description of First Alert SA521CN ONELINK Hardwire Wireless Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup
In the event of a fire every second counts. If a fire were to begin in your basement and the alarm there sounded, you may not hear it right away if you're sound asleep two floors up. With traditional battery-operated alarms, you lose valuable time waiting for the smoke to rise to another alarm, on another level, before the alarm on your floor sounds. But with First Alert ONELINK alarms, if one detects danger, they all sound. This can alert you sooner, and it increases your chances of getting out safely.Until now, alarms that could signal each other were only available in homes with hardwired alarms requiring installation from an electrician. But First Alert ONELINK alarms communicate without wires.
The First Alert ONELINK SA501CN alarm uses photoelectric sensing technology which is environmentally friendlier and which reduces nuisance alarms, making it ideal for cooking areas. It is also great for sensing slow smoldering fires quickly. The alarm includes a low battery warning and a super bright escape light. You can easily expand an existing interconnected 120-volt AC system by replacing one alarm in the series with this alarm. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The AA batteries are easy to install in the convenient pullout battery drawer. Two AA batteries included.--Bree Norlander

Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert SA521CN ONELINK Hardwire Wireless Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup
Customer Review: worth the $, high-quality, easy, so far so good
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought 6 of these to replace my 13-year old BRKs. Easy to install. The wireless "mesh" interconnect feature was very easy to set up and seems extremely well designed. [The sensors in your "mesh" all recognize and talk to each other so that any sensor can trigger any or all the others, but they all ignore any sensors not programmed into their little network, i.e. they supposedly ignore the neighbors sensors. Also, if one sensor is remote, it only needs to be able to reach one other sensor in the net. It does not need to be able to reach all others...they will relay the alert.] They can also easily link into any existing hard-wired interconnect system in addition to the wireless.
Also I like the combination of battery backup and hard-wired power.
I also like the one button operation. Press the button to test, and press it again to silence any alert. So far so good. I think they are definitely worth the extra $ for trouble-free reliable detectors.
I also like the fact that they are optical (non-radioactive). But the instructions recommend to have both types (optical and radioactive ionizing), so I think I'll be buying 2 more of their ionizing type, one for each floor. Ionizing is supposedly better (than optical) for kitchen and wood stove areas.
I'll update this review if my opinion changes, but so far so good.
