Core features

The manufacturer describes the SM105-AC as a hardwired smoke alarm with interconnect support, a sealed 10-year battery backup, test/silence control and an end-of-life warning. Always use the current manufacturer instructions for installation and compatibility.

Why sealed backup changes maintenance

The sealed backup is designed to cover the unit’s service life, so there is no annual replaceable backup battery. The alarm still requires regular testing and must be replaced at end of life.

A model page is not an installation decision

The existing alarms, connector, interconnect and placement still need review. Call Detector Inspectors for an assessment rather than ordering from a model name alone.
