Abstract
The present invention is a single station type ionization smoke sensor which operates on a dc battery having a voltage lower than the voltage of about 9 volts usually needed for operation of ionization-type smoke sensors. The smoke sensor of the present invention includes a voltage booster means for boosting the battery voltage, a voltage detector means which detects when the boosted voltage falls below a predetermined value and an alarm energization means which energizes an alarm when an ionization type smoke detector means detects combustion products or when the voltage detector means detects a drop in the boosted voltage below the predetermined voltage.
