Discontinued Product - No Compatible Replacement
Please Note: BRK have withdrawn from the European market and there is no compatible alternative that will fit into your existing system. Since it is not possible to interlink alarms from different manufacturers, new alarms will be needed throughout. The recommended replacement for the whole discontinued BRK 600MBX range is the Kidde Firex series. This will require an electrician to replace your old BRK bases with new Kidde bases.

Ideal for areas where a standard smoke alarm would be unsuitable, such as kitchens and garages, the BRK 690MBX is a mains powered heat alarm designed to detect rapid increases in room temperature. Kitemarked to the latest standards and with a 5 year manufacturer's warranty, the BRK 690MBX also benefits from multi-alarm interlink feature, meaning that it can be hard wire interlinked with up to 12 compatible smoke and heat alarms within a system.
Please note: for surface-mounted wiring such as trunking the base plate included with this alarm is not suitable; please see the BRK 790MRL with push-fit base instead.

Product Datasheets |
We recommend a heat alarm in the kitchen, optical alarms in living rooms and hallway and ionisation alarms on landings.
It is necessary that an electrician installs mains powered smoke alarms.
No, to stop the alarms from sounding the hush button on the unit that started the process needs to be pushed. Pressing any other unit will just silence that one unit. The unit can be identified by the rapidly flashing red LED.
The sticky pad is suitable for all battery operated smoke alarms. However, we cannot judge if battery alarms are suitable for your let property, as let properties usually require mains powered alarms. There is some advice to this in the governments guides to fire risk assessments. http://www.safelincs.co.uk/Fire-Risk-Assessment/ Also see the LACoRS guide for let properties.
There is only one alarm sound type when a fire is detected, when interconnected all smoke and heat alarms will sound. However only the triggered alarm will have a rapidly flashing red indicator.
