Red Smoke RSDUALPB Black 240V Photoelectric Smoke Alarm 10yr Lithium Backup

Description

Dual-power protection in a black finish.

The Red Smoke RSDUALPB is a professional photoelectric smoke alarm in black, powered by 240V mains with a built-in 10-year lithium battery backup. It is the black version of the RSDUALP, with an identical specification, suited to darker ceilings and design-conscious interiors. Its photoelectric sensor detects both smouldering and flaming fires quickly, while the dual mesh insect guard helps reduce false alarms.

Black, but Identical Inside

The RSDUALPB shares the exact specification of the white RSDUALP and carries the same CSIRO ActivFire certification (certificate afp-3901 lists both variants). The only difference is the black housing, which blends into dark or feature ceilings where a white alarm would stand out.

Dual Power, Always On Guard

The RSDUALPB runs on 240V mains for continuous operation, with a sealed 10-year lithium battery that takes over if mains power is lost. The photoelectric sensor responds well to the slow, smouldering fires that often start in homes overnight, and the dual mesh insect guard keeps bugs out of the chamber to cut down on nuisance alarms.

Interconnect a Whole Home

Alarms can be hardwired together, up to 40 units over 150m in free field, so that when one detects smoke, they all sound. Where running cable is not practical, the optional RFMOD wireless module links up to 20 alarms by radio at 433.92 MHz, for retrofits and renovations, with up to 40 alarms interconnected in total. A hush function quietens nuisance alarms for 10 minutes, and an LED shows mains, fault and low-battery status at a glance.

Compliance and Legislation

The RSDUALPB is certified to AS 3786:2014+A1:2015+A2:2018 and listed by CSIRO ActivFire (certificate afp-3901). Interconnected photoelectric alarms are central to Queensland's domestic smoke alarm legislation, and this alarm is approved for QLD Government Housing installation, making it a straightforward compliant choice for electricians upgrading existing dwellings.

Q: What is the difference between the RSDUALPB and the RSDUALP?
A: Only the colour. The RSDUALPB is black and the RSDUALP is white; both share the same specification and CSIRO ActivFire certification.

Q: How is the Red Smoke RSDUALPB powered?
A: It runs on 240V mains with a built-in, sealed 10-year 3V lithium battery that provides backup if mains power fails. The battery is not replaceable, so the whole alarm is replaced at end of life.

Q: Is the Red Smoke RSDUALPB compliant for Queensland homes?
A: It is a photoelectric, interconnectable alarm certified to AS 3786:2014 and approved for QLD Government Housing installation, suiting it to Queensland's smoke alarm legislation. Always confirm placement and interconnection meet current requirements.
