How Does a Photoelectric Smoke Detector Work?

This article was published on 11/1/2016  and updated on  1/13/2022

The two most common types of smoke detection technologies include ionization smoke detectors and photoelectric smoke detectors. Each type of smoke alarm detects the presence of smoke differently.

Ionization vs. Photoelectric Smoke Detection

Ionization Smoke Detectors

Ionization smoke detectors operate because they have a small amount of radioactive material which is located in between two electrically charged plates. This ionizes the air which creates a current to flow in between the two plates. This flow of ions is disrupted when smoke enters the chamber. The reduction in the flow of current activates the alarm. Ionization smoke alarms tend to respond quicker than photoelectric smoke detectors to smoke that is produced from a flaming fire, although will not signal an alarm until a fire has become sufficient enough to produce enough smoke to reach the alarm.

Photoelectric Smoke Detectors

Photoelectric smoke detectors operate with a continuous, focused beam of light onto a mirror from an LED light source that is aimed directly into a sensing chamber, away from the sensor. If smoke enters the chamber, the light that is reflected onto the light sensor is interrupted, scattering light in many directions and triggers the alarm. Photoelectric smoke detectors tend to respond quicker than ionization smoke alarms to smoke that is produced by a smoldering fire. Photoelectric smoke detectors can detect smoke before a fire even begins to appear.

You can learn more about the difference between ionization vs. photoelectric smoke detection from the National Fire Protection Association, NFPA. Each type of smoke detection technology provides advantages that may be critical to saving lives in certain fire situations.

Smoke Inhalation Is the Leading Cause of Death by Fire

The NFPA reports that more fire deaths are caused by smoke inhalation then by burns. People caught in a fire become incapacitated quickly when overwhelmed with smoke which prevents them from making it to and accessible exit. All of the synthetic materials that are common in construction today create especially dangerous and toxic substances during a fire. As a fire gains momentum inside of a structure, it quickly consumes most of the available oxygen, which promotes a slow burning process and results in toxic gases.

Which Type of Smoke Alarm Is Best?

It is difficult to predict the type of fire that you may have in your home or business.  Whether a blazing, flaming fire or a smoldering fire, early warning is critical to prevent injury and save lives. A licensed fire alarm and life safety system provider can help you determine which type of smoke detection technology is best for your property and buildings.

Some buildings benefit from utilizing both ionization and photoelectric technologies, although it is recommended that photoelectric smoke detection definitely be present.   . Photo photoelectric smoke detectors can detect the presence of smoke as soon a fire begins to develop to alert occupants for quick evacuation. Dual smoke alarms are available that include both ionization and photoelectric smoke detection technology.
