Smoke, Fire & Gas Detection FAQs
How do radio interlinked smoke alarms work?
Radio-interlinked or RF smoke alarms use radio-frequency signals to communicate with each other. If one smoke alarm detects a fire, all smoke alarms within that system will receive an RF signal and trigger them to alarm.
Radio-interlinked smoke and heat alarms ensure everyone in a building will hear the fire alarm. They are often used in large houses and small commercial premises.
