Technical Data Sheets
The following technical data sheets are available for this product:
Installing Mains-Powered Smoke Alarms and Heat Detectors
While these radio-interlinked smoke alarms do not require interlink cables between the different units, they must be supplied with mains power. The mains supply must be continuously powered 24 hours a day, so it is important that the alarms are not on a circuit that can be turned off by a switch.
However, in accordance with BS5839 pt 6 you can use the live side of a local lighting circuit as a mains power supply.
The power supply cables can enter the alarm either through the back of the unit or, if you are using surface-mounted cables, through a cut-out on the side.
Warning:
Mains operated Alarms should be installed and interconnected by a qualified electrician.

Q.Can the mains powered smoke alarm range be connected to mains power via the lighting circuit?
A.Yes, the mains powered alarms are hard wired into the lighting circuit.
Q.The smoke alarm is mains powered do you need an electrician to connect them?
A.It is necessary that an electrician installs mains powered smoke alarms.
Q.Are there any restrictions to the distance a radio-interlinked smoke alarm will work?
A.Most radio-interlinked alarms have a range of 150 meters in an open space and up to 30 meters in buildings. The thickness of the walls and partitions will affect the travel distance of the signal. Most units can be set up as a 'repeater' which will increase the distance by a further 30 meters.
Q.Why do your mains powered alarms have batteries?
A.All our mains powered alarms have a battery backup. Although mains powered alarms without this option do exist (BS5839 part 6 grade E), we regard them as far too dangerous, as a lot of fires are caused by electrical faults leaving the building unprotected against fire if the smoke alarms have no backup battery. With our mains powered alarms you will always be protected.
