The BLACK+DECKER Smoke Alarm (BD/BOP) is a reliable safety solution designed for homeowners seeking robust fire detection in bedrooms, hallways, and general living spaces. Its primary benefit is the high-performance optical sensor that detects slow, smouldering fires with rapid responsiveness, though users should note it is powered by a 9V battery rather than being hardwired, requiring periodic manual battery replacements.

This model uses a standard 9V battery.
The device features an alarm memory that flashes a visual indicator for 72 hours after an activation.
No, it is a battery-operated unit and does not require any mains wiring.
It is designed to reduce false alarms from steam and fumes, but it is best practice to install it outside of the immediate kitchen area to prevent unnecessary triggers.
It is recommended to use the large test button to check the device functionality at least once a month.
The BLACK+DECKER BD/BOP is certified and approved to BS EN 14604:2005+AC:2008.
This typically indicates the 9V battery is low and needs to be replaced immediately.
Check that the battery is installed correctly and has a full charge, or replace it with a fresh battery.
Ensure the alarm is not mounted too close to the kitchen or bathroom door; relocate the unit to a position further away from sources of steam or heavy fumes.
Installation is straightforward and does not require an electrician. Use the provided screws to fix the mounting bracket to your ceiling or wall, then twist the alarm unit clockwise to lock it into position. Ensure the 9V battery is correctly seated before mounting. To maintain the device, vacuum the casing occasionally to clear away dust build-up that could interfere with the sensor. Always test the device after cleaning or battery replacement. This unit is certified and approved to BS EN 14604:2005+AC:2008 standards, ensuring it meets rigorous safety requirements.
