Customer Reviews For The USI 4-in-1 Hardwired Smart Alarm with Smoke, Fire, CO and Gas Detection
Yes, after placing my order I received my USI 4-in 1 smoke alarm in a very short amount of time. Much appreciated.
Your product is good, good thing I can find it on line, otherwise I would have had to change every unit thru the complex I give you all a big 5
Purchased this item to replace a unit previously installed by the builder of our home and that had reached its life end. The unit was extremely easy to install. Only had to change out the mounting plate. Michelle in customer service was extremely helpful when I called in to inquire about the new model number for this unit.
These 2 detectors replaced 2 older multi-sensor detectors that were reaching end of life. Everything needed came in the new boxes including mounting plates and wire assemblies. Smooth install in about 5 minutes each
I needed a whole house replacement for new construction detectors that were at end of life and got a good deal on upgraded 10 year battery models and got a few more carbon monoxide detectors to cover every bedroom and added a natural gas detector. Replacing the ceiling mount bracket and a couple wiring pig tails was not too hard. Very happy to not have to replace batteries and to have the best protection for my family.
Very happy with my sales representative and the order I received.
I am so comfortable knowing that the alarms will detect all the hazards mentioned on the Review Heading. We have installed these on the three wood framed homes we have had since 1977 through today. While we have not had them go off in “anger†when we were asleep but we fell much better knowing we have these alarms on every room especially now that we are on our late 70s. They have each lasted over the 7 years stated and generally 8 years or more. We have also had a couple of friends during this who had fires in their homes which were not detected until the fires were really going but they luckily were unhurt but the damage was significant but not too bad. We have had gas cook stove where the pan overflowed and the gas flames were doused and gas was going into the house undetected. Thank God it was detected in time before we were gassed. It is so easy to be playing with the small kids and not smell the gas on another room in the house. A Neighbour jumped over our 6 foot fence between our yards as he realised the alarm was serious. These incidents detected early saved lives / damage to our kitchen. So thanks for the 4 in 1 alarms.
I purchased two 4 in 1 detectors. Replaced my old detectors and networked together seamlessly.
good product and went on easy
Easy to install
I thought this will be tricky to install but it was much easier to install than I thought. If you have basic knowledge then it's a breeze.
Very pleased. Easy to install. Working well to date. I would certainly purchase again.
Perfect transaction from start to finish. From the amount of detailed info on the web site, ease of ordering, great communication and quick delivery, I am a very satisfied customer. Product was exactly as described and a perfect fit. Highly recommended vendor.
While my product was on backorder, Universal keep me informed via email. I apprecialted that. The alarm arrived, was easy to install and works great. I'm a happy customer.
These smoke detectors are excellent, installed as advertised, and hopefully will last another 10 years. They were backordered I was told at the time I made my order and the folks at Universal Security were very excellent and clear about keeping me informed about the expected delivery date.
Easy to install connected with the current wiring.
All of the smoke detectors work good in my home.
Replaced existing 10+ year old hardwired USI detectors with no rewiring, just needed to swap the base plate. Quick and easy.
I purchased this smoke detector to replace an old one. I bought the same brand and the wires from my old one plugged right in. installation was very simple.
quick shipping and what I expected.
AC powered smoke alarms with battery backup will chirp indefinitely assuming AC power is present; if battery power is low, or battery is removed; until a fresh battery is installed. Approved replacement batteries are listed on the back of each smoke alarm and in the user's manual.
Certain model smoke alarms with a silence button (designed to silence the alarm during a nuisance alarm) may chirp to indicate the smoke alarm is in the silence mode. The chirp will stop after approximately 8 minutes and the smoke alarm will return to its normal operation.
- If the Alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, it must alarm between 4 and 15 minutes.
- If the Alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, it must alarm between 10 and 50 minutes.
- If the Alarm is exposed to 70 ppm of CO, it must alarm between 60 and 240 minutes.
If battery backup alarms and non-battery backup alarms and accessories are mixed in an interconnect system, all devices without battery backup WILL NOT operate during an AC power failure.
CAUTION: USI alarms and accessories should only be interconnected with other USI alarms and accessories. Connecting devices from another manufacturer to USI devices may result in nuisance alarms, failure to alarm, or damage to one or all of the devices in the interconnect system. All interconnected USI alarms should be powered by the same fuse or circuit breaker. Smoke alarms shall not receive their power from a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Improper connection will result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard.
