Another smoke detector question... Scottish property.

Now, now!!! You can't go opening doors into a rented property! LOL!
By the way...who won? You or the awning?

Well it’s up!

We’re at Barnard Castle…. I’ve found the Specsavers Dominic Cummings was looking for a couple years ago!

Did something similar last year albeit the property was a little larger. Owners lived one side and rented other side out. Highland council wanted 1 system all interconnected.

How big? Was it hardwired?
I think there’s a limit of 12 units on an Aico Radiolink…

The last time I did something similar where BC (Highland Council) were involved they wanted them interlinked.

This is a relatively common set up in my neck of the woods for holiday lets and I always interlink them.

To my mind it's not really 2 separate dwellings but one where part of it is let out.

ISTR from an Aico event that you can have more than 12 units on a system using a mix of hardwire and radio linked units

Yes, but in total 12 radio units… be that detectors, wall mounted test buttons or radio modules in an otherwise mains powered hardwired detector- acting as a gateway between wired, and wireless

The way it was put you could have 2 groups of radio linked equipment linked by a hardwire link thus exceeding 12 units

That got me thinking, if you house code eleven units to a Aico Ei450 Radiolink+ Control and Hush Switch, can you link another eleven to that unit as the twelfth, i.e. link a different eleven together and just link one of them to the switch? academic question.

Possibly not.

I see what others are saying. You can have 12 units on one house code, another 12 on a different house code, and a hardwired link inbetween… such as 2 radio module bases.

I thought it made no difference if the unit is hardware linked or radio linked it still has to be house coded?

Each one of the radio base's is part of the overall linking so only eleven units can be house coded, if indeed twelve is the limit.
