Wireless
smoke heat alarm system
Aico Ltd - Aico upgrades unique wireless interconnect smoke and heat alarm system
Aico Ltd has just announced the launch of
the new Ei168RC base unit for its unique RadioLINK wireless
interconnect mains powered smoke alarm system.
The new base unit adds a number of important extra features to
RadioLINK, as well as enabling installers to take advantage of
Aico's new RC control technology. Aico says that this upgrade
now makes its RadioLINK systems technology even better suited to
more comprehensive alarm systems, offering greater coverage and
protection, but also allowing greater control.
RadioLINK works by allowing mains powered smoke and heat alarms
to be wirelessly interconnected. If one alarm on the system is
triggered, radio waves are used to cause every other alarm in
the property to sound.
The new Ei168RC RadioLINK base is now set as a multi-level
repeater as standard, being capable of receiving, transmitting
and re-transmitting to achieve multiple signal paths. This
means that it is now possible to achieve increased coverage in
properties with a larger floor area and confidently integrate a
larger number of alarms into the system. The multiple path
capability allows the system to avoid most RF-impenetrable
structures within the property that may have previously blocked
signals.
Aico has also taken the opportunity to simplify and speed up
RadioLINK's house coding and commissioning procedure.
The RC function now enables the base unit to communicate with
the RadioLINK Ei411H Remote Control switch, which offers the
resident the facility to test the system and silence nuisance
alarms. This feature is not only extremely valuable - as it
offers a good degree of control over more comprehensive systems
- but, as the switch can be located at a convenient height, it
provides an extra measure of safety for residents. Units can be
tested and any false alarms silenced with no need to reach up to
a ceiling mounted alarm.
The new Ei168RC RadioLINK base is fully compatible with Aico's
new Ei160 RC Series of smoke and heat alarms, which offer 10
year plus Lithium cell back-up, the forerunner of which has been
proven in literally hundreds of thousands of successful
applications nationwide.
