screened dual ionization smoke sensing chamber, an 85dB horn, a
supervised 9V battery power supply, a full function test switch, a
red LED light that indicates DC power or alarm. The compact, low
profile design complements any décor. Battery installation and

to indicate a fresh battery is needed. To insure the battery is always
replaced properly, the cover is designed to resist closing when the
battery is missing. Designed for surface mounting, the 83RN
includes mounting anchors and screws.
