There are two types of household smoke alarms in common use. These are known as ionization or photoelectric type smoke alarms. How does an ionization type smoke alarm work? This type of alarm uses a small amount of radioactive material to ionize air in the sensing chamber. As a result, the air chamber becomes conductive permitting current to flow between two charged electrodes. When smoke particles enter the chamber, the conductivity of the chamber air decreases. When this reduction in conductivity is reduced to a predeter mined level, the alarm is set off. Most smoke alarms in use are of this type. · How does a photoelectric type smoke alarm work? A photoelectric type smoke alarm consists of a light emitting diode and a light sensitive sensor in the sensing chamber. The presence of suspended smoke particles in the chamber scatters the light beam. This scattered light is detected and sets off the alarm. Fire Prevention Week heats up at the Oakville Training Campus on Saturday, September 28th Our popular mascot "Sparky" and the whole gang from the Oakville Fire Department invite you to have fun and learn about the fundamentals of home fire safety - having a home fire escape plan, practicing it often, installing working smoke alarms on every level of your home and checking them regularly.
