Hi there, I am adding fire safety devices to the home, I am not a qualified electrician and therefore are in need of some friendly advice.
I am adding two smoke alarms and an emergency light to a ring which already houses all the fire safety equipment. At the moment there are two smoke alarms connected and a heat alarm, all from separate junctions on the ring. The below is what I am proposing to do, I have checked all the cable lengths and understand the necessary ratings for all the components involved. My main questions are, does this conform to the right standards in England, am I being silly and overloading everything, do I need more FCU’s and if this is all wrong a brief few words as to what I would need to do. I understand this is a community forum and please be assured I am not trying to get a step by step guide. Once the install is complete a qualified electrician will be checking it all, but I am too embarrassed that I don’t know how to do this already to ask him. Attached is a diagram of what I want to do. Thanks in advance.
