Q. What sort of smoke alarm system would I need to install for a HMO?
A.
BS 5839-6 recommends that one or two storey HMOs with an individual floor area of no more than 200sqm (not the total of both floors) should have a Grade D smoke alarm system installed. Grade D refers to mains powered smoke alarms with a back up battery power supply. The alarms can be interlinked either by wire or by radio signal and the system does not require a separate fire alarm panel. For HMOs of 3 storey or higher, a Grade A panel system would need to be installed. This can cover the whole of the building, or can be used just for the communal areas with a separate Grade D system installed for the individual dwellings. For both applications, the level of cover should be a minimum of LD3 (in all escape routes) but this may change according to the fire risk assessment.

Great product and simple to install onto an existing plate if you are replacing an old product such as DICON Watch out for the battery tag, there is a clear one which implies you pull it out and it is then connected. In actual fact you need to take the battery out and connect it. Not sure what the first tag is for.
