Smoke alarms

[Farmelectrics]

I've always put smokes off local lighting circuit do in new builds the smokes have to be inter linked

 

[monkeyelectric]

They should always be linked either by wire or radio link

 

[Farmelectrics]

Monkey is that just in new builds

 

[monkeyelectric]

Thats any smokes you install

hey yea if you do any house with 2 plus smokes they have to be linked so they all alert u if fire

on a new build you have to meet all relevant regulations, 2 core to the fitrst one and 3 core in between them, you don't have to fit them on rewires but I don't see why not IMO as it doesn't cost much extra

off a local lighting circuit there should be a means of local isolation of the smokeys without having to turn off the breaker, a fcu usually

Spur units I ment

I run 3 core from the board (Making it easier to join onto should you need to add more alarms or new tec comes along) and onto the alarms. I'd use that red sheathed 3 core if I could because it looks pretty

On it's own circuit and try and run it so RCD protection not required

Could you point me in the direction of where this info comes from?
