System Type: Smoke Alarm System

A smoke alarm system is designed to protect occupants from fire. The
British Standard BS 5839 Pt.6:2013 gives detailed recommendations for alarm
systems in dwellings and the information in this document is based on these.
Other relevant standards and guidance exists, for example the Local
Authority
Property Type: Single Storey
Level of Protection: Medium Protection (Category LD2)

The escape routes (Hallways, Landings etc.) are covered along with the high
fire risk areas (Kitchen & Living Room). Gives good protection to the
occupants
Alarm Power
/Back-up: Mains Powered with Lithium Back-up (Grade D)
Alarms are powered from the mains power supply but will automatically
switch to Lithium cell back-up if the mains power fails. The Lithium cells will
last the life of the alarm (10yrs) and are completely tamperproof.
Alarm Types: Multi-Sensor Alarms

Multi-Sensor alarms have two sensor elements – optical and heat – and give
the best response to all fire types, from fast flaming to slow smouldering, so
will be used in the majority of areas. The Kitchen would require a Heat
alarm due to the nature of the environment.
Hallway: Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm Product

Number: Ei2110
Living Room/Kitchen: Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm Product
Number: Ei2110
Alarm
Interconnection: Hard-wired Interconnection
Cabling is installed between every alarm to provide the link between them. If
an alarm is triggered, it will send a signal down this cabling and all other
alarms will sound. Consideration should be taken on the disruption
generated when installing the cabling.
Additional Features: Alarm Controller

To give occupants extra control over their alarm system, a wall mounted
Alarm Control Switch will be fitted to give three extra functions:
Test – Test alarms
Locate – Find the source of the alarm when all are sounding

Silence – Silence alarms
Alarm Controller
Product Number: Ei1529RC
