WISUALARM DHI-HY-SA20A

If you're looking for a smoke alarm that quietly does its job for years without fuss, the WISUALARM DHI-HY-SA20A is worth a serious look. Designed with real life in mind, this compact guardian offers an impressive 10 years of protection on a single long-life 3V CR123A lithium battery — no scrambling for replacements every few months, no annoying low-battery chirps at 3 a.m.

When it matters most, the WISUALARM doesn't hesitate: its piercing 85dB alarm instantly warns you and your family at the first sign of smoke. Behind that loud alert is split-spectrum technology, which utilises double transmission and single reception to detect smoke more accurately and reduce false alarms.

And if a nuisance alarm does happen, the handy test/silence button lets you hush it quickly — even with your TV remote!

Certified to the trusted European EN 14604 standard, this alarm has been rigorously tested to ensure it performs exactly as promised. Installation is refreshingly simple too: use the included screws or the adhesive sticker to mount it on your ceiling or wall — no complicated setup, no fuss.

The WISUALARM S05-A is built to keep it that way, standing guard in the background so you can focus on living, not worrying. This clever little alarm seamlessly blends innovative technology with simple convenience, providing you with reliable fire protection without the everyday fuss.

Thanks to innovative split-spectrum technology with double transmission and single reception, the S05-A detects smoke quickly and accurately — but knows how to ignore harmless vapour or dust.

The built-in 10-year 3V CR123A lithium battery means you won't have to hunt for AA batteries every year — once it's installed, you're covered for a decade. And if you ever need to hush a false alarm, you don't even have to reach for a chair — grab your TV or air-conditioner remote to silence it from across the room. (Remember, the alarm doesn't come with a remote itself — it works with what you already have.)

The S05-A looks as modern as it functions, with a sleek, minimal design that fits beautifully into any home. Installation is hassle-free too: stick it up with the included 3M adhesive, no wiring required.

Certified to the trusted EN14604 standard and backed by a five-year warranty and local EU after-service, the WISUALARM S05-A quietly does what it's meant to — giving you absolute peace of mind while you get on with life.
