Review on X-Sense SD01 10-Year Battery Smoke Detector with Escape Light - UL 217 Compliant (Not Hardwired) by Josh Schweitzer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install, smoke alarm works as advertised

Just complete the smoke alarm installation. Pretty simple and straight forward. Maximum 20 minutes. The device itself works well, quite noisy and the LED light is pretty good, not SUPER bright which will blind you but enough to glow. After 6 months of use, an overview of the updates will be published. Here are some tips to help you speed up the installation. Glass1) Use the plate as a guide and find the spot where you want to install the smoke alarm. Use a pencil and fill in 3 holes in the panel to make yourself a pilot hole to drill on the wall. 2) Remove the panel and use a 6mm or 15/64 drill bit and drill the holes marked with a pencil. Be sure to wear goggles to protect your eyes from dirt. 3) Insert the dowels into the new drill holes. If you push the anchor in as far as you can before hitting it with a hammer/mallet it will work much better. 4) Align the plate with the new holes and screw in the 3 screws. 5) Check the smoke alarm is seated on the plate, if not, determine which screws are not flush. 6) Remove the smoke alarm and turn it on.
