FAQs
What exactly is wireless alarm interconnection?
It enables smoke alarms to be connected to each other without the need for cabling between the alarms. Instead, a Radio Frequency (RF) signal is used to trigger all the alarms in the system.
Will security systems and car alarms affect the smoke alarm system?
Security systems may use the same frequency as wireless interconnect technology but they will be on a different band and/or be restricted to using the channel for 1% of the time, for a maximum of four seconds at any one time. Car alarms and mobile phones use a completely different frequency so interference is not possible from either of these. Television remote controls mostly use infra-red, which cannot affect the system.
If all the alarms can interlink how can I stop those next door sounding the ones in my house?
Simply 'House Code' each separate system of alarms. In this way they cannot cause nearby alarms to sound. 'House Coding' takes a matter of minutes after installation of all the alarms in the system and can be easily undertaken by anyone following the instructions supplied with the product.
How far will the radio signal travel?
The radio signal can travel a very long way if there are no obstructions to block it - 150 metres or more. But, it is more relevant to consider the practical application where there will be walls, ceilings and many other obstructions to impede the radio signal path. In the vast majority of properties, where there will be two or three alarms, the signal from a RadioLINK unit will be more than adequate.
What benefit is there if I still have to connect to the mains?
There are significant savings to be made, mainly in time, but also in materials. a) There is no need to feed the wiring from one alarm to another, which can be very time consuming and can look ugly with trunking running up walls and across ceilings. There is no need to lift floorboards either. This means damage claims to floors, carpets and decoration are minimised, if not eliminated. b) Less cable and trunking is a required so further reducing costs.
How many alarms can be interconnected using wireless technology?
This will depend on the individual manufacturer. However, at present we do know that it is technically possible to interconnect up to 30 alarms, but the limiting factor is likely to be the distance between alarms and obstructions that may block the radio signal. In most domestic properties a realistic maximum number of alarms would be 12.
Do I have to wire the alarms at all?
Yes, if using mains powered alarms you will need a mains supply to each of the alarms in the system. The power supply can be taken from any convenient light pendant with a permanent (unswitched) live feed to where the alarm is to be sited.
