   How do photoelectric alarms work?

   • Photoelectric alarms detect smoke using a light sensor and light beam. Ordinarily, the light beam points away from the sensor. When there’s a fire, the smoke particles scatter the beam, redirecting some light to hit the sensor, which triggers the alarm.

   How do ionization smoke alarms work?

Smoke particles that enter the ionized air disrupt this current, triggering the alarm. Ionization sensors can detect smaller, less visible fire particles sooner than photoelectric alarms.
