The rest depends on the homeowner’s preparation and other fire prevention safety measures. Equip yourself with fire extinguishers and sprinklers, too, if necessary. Photo Electric or Optical Sensors They are triggered by smoke disturbing an existing beam of light inside the detector. When smoke is not present, the beam from a light source inside the device travels in a straight line to a detector, but when smoke particles enter, some of the light is scattered and triggers the electrical circuit that sounds the alarm. Air Sampling Detectors These have sensors that are capable of detecting microscopic smoke particles in the air. They actually draw air into the detector and passes it into minute pipes that lead to a laser optical device that has the capability to detect minute particles of combustion.
