The alarms are hard-wired and fitted with self-charging lithium back-up batteries. They can be interlinked with other units from the same series to create all round fire protection within the home; when one alarm detects fire and sounds, all interlinked units will sound.

Good device but poor install design

Poor design from the manufacture, requires a plasterboard box cut into the ceiling as the socket with only single insulated wiring is at 90degs to the detector. Why did they not build it like all normal system detectors where the base has screw terminals and the detector just clips onto.

Well designed and easy to replace when necessary. They work well, and the test and alarm buttons are now much improved.
