    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    I only had few phone calls with the surveyor then a brief video inspection. I don't know about friction but from the get go I feel there is some kind of bias from him. Surveryors should follow the guidelines and should treat everyone the same regardless. But that would be fairy tale world.

    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    @Julie take it easy, I am not doing anything deliberately to upset you or anyone, and I do not know if you know the regulations or not. Fire angel alarms had replaceable batteries and I do not know the exact model and I know they are not permitted. The work to the kitchen was done 7 years ago...

    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    I had fire angels battery powered alarms which I threw away cos they don't work anymore. The electrician is not happy and got in touch with surveyor and am awaiting answer. Electrician has installed hundreds of Aico EI650/EI603 RF wireless interlinked alarms and wants to do the same in my...

    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    Ei3024 are for both heat and CO2. The boiler is in a different room not in the kitchen and there's a CO2 detector there. The oven in the kitchen is induction and oven electric. Legislations need to be clear and fair. For example interlinked wireless alarms with tamper proof 10 year lithium Ion...

    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    I really feel sorry for anyone trying to understand the guidelines. They are all confusing and contradicting each other. Just like "Curriculum for Excellence" a load of tosh. I think safety is the last concern for the people above. Everytime there are new products you get new legislation. Back...

    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    Sorry Manchester was along time ago. Now Edinburgh. The surveyor want hard wired detectors but interlinking can be through RF. The good honest electrician doing the work said that he installed 100s of grade F alarms and he doesn't understand why the surveyor says this " Unfortunately, the...

    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    Just to help people who might be asking same question. It turns out that the surveyor is using BS5839(link below) which states that detectors must be hard wired etc. The Scottish government guidelines on website are confusing people like me. I am glad I am not an electrician but through my job...

    Fire alarms must be hard wired?

    As I said the kitchen work was completed 7 years ago. so there's no building work involved now. just fire alarms. The surveyor seems harch not to allow wireless ones even though the new regulation recommend them. I thought about hard wiring one then wirelessly linking others to it but the...
