The FireAngel WST637 contains an optical smoke alarm with built-in radio-frequency technology, allowing up to 50 alarms to be wirelessly interlinked and form a system. With thermally enhanced optical smoke sensing technology, the WST637 provides quick detection to slow smouldering fires, and has the added benefit of a sealed 10 year lithium battery, designed to last the life of the alarm.
Exclusive Extras from Safelincs
The FireAngel WST637 Optical Smoke Alarm Kits are supplied as standard with some exclusive extras that make purchasing these alarms easier and more cost-effective, including:
Q. Do I need an ionisation or optical smoke alarm?
A.
We recommend using an optical smoke alarm in hallways, as these are less likely to go off because of cooking fumes from a connected kitchen. Optical smoke alarms are also ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, as they are good at detecting smouldering fires from soft furnishings. For landings we recommend ionisation alarms. Heat alarms are designed for kitchens and garages. No alarms should be installed in bathrooms.
Q. Can I put my smoke alarm on the wall, or must it be mounted on the ceiling?
A.
The best location to install your smoke alarm is in the centre of the ceiling rather than on the wall. During a fire, smoke initially rises and then spreads to the sides of the room. By installing the alarm on the ceiling, this ensures that you receive the earliest possible warning of a fire.
Q. What is the best way to test my alarm?
A.
We recommend testing alarms by pressing the test button built-in to the unit, as this is designed to simulate the detection of the target stimuli (usually smoke, heat, or CO) at the alarm sensor. You should test your alarms regularly to ensure they are protecting building occupants, preferably every week. For more detailed guidance, check the manual included with your alarm.
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.
Q. How long do smoke alarms last before needing replacement?
A.
It is recommended that smoke alarms are replaced after 10 years. This is because the sensors in the smoke alarms become less sensitive and may not activate when a fire is present.

Fitted and tested fine
Cannot give a proper review as it's a product that has to work over a long period of time, which has not yet elapsed.

Great alarm
easy to set up (especially when safelincs link then for you!). Have this in hall close to kitchen and upstairs, not affected by kitchen activity however the upstairs unit is triggered by steam from the bathroom but this is to be expected (especially as our bathroom ends up like a stream room). Very good alarm for price
