We have an extensive fire alarm system here, regularly maintained, and we're seeking to add an extension bell to our camp-site, where it would be useful to wake people up in the event of a fire in the house. This is not a statutary requirement just something that it would be handy to have.

This will mean fitting a bell about 60 metres from the nearest panel. Our regular fire alarm company want a fortune to do this and as we're just a struggling alternative community we wanted to know if it's possible we could do it ourselves, giving that myself and one other are qualified as electricians. I don't know the latest regs with fire alarms and extension bells so I'm asking here.

Can anyone give me some advice, perhaps a wireless system?

Thanks

I'm not 100 percent with fire regs but if it's just for waking People up in the event of a fire, you could fit a master blaster? Local mains supply and a libk back to the fire panel in fp200. I should think a reliable wireless solution would cost a lot.... need to know makes and models though really as tazz said.
 
The main panel in the house is a Noby 448. There is an outbuilding about half way towards the area we want to cover. This outbuilding has its own panel, a Concept Fire Alarm, which is linked to the Noby.

thanks for your help

You can connect a standard siren or bell to the Concept panel, by connecting to the bell output terminals. Run the bell circuit in either 1.5mm armored or fp200 1.5mm using protective tubing if burying underground.
