Mains Powered Optical Smoke Alarm with Alkaline Back-up Battery - BRK 760MBX

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Please Note: BRK have withdrawn from the European market and there is no compatible alternative that will fit into your existing system.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 700MBX range is the Kidde Firex series. This will require an electrician to replace your old BRK bases with new Kidde bases.

FAQs (1)
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.

Very reliable smoke alarm and excellent customer service I purchased a replacement alarm unit to fit an existing base. Product numbers have changed but Safelincs staff were very helpful in guiding me through the choices. Very reliable smoke alarm. I had no problems with the last one in 10 years' use (replacement because of recommended change after this long).
