interconnecting wired and wireless smoke alarms

amlu · Oct 1, 2014

Hi,
do you have some experience with fire/smoke alarms that would have an option for part of install to be linked up with cable, and part by radio bases?
like that-
alarm----cable----alarm----cable-----wireless alarm (radio link) wireless alarm (radio link) wireless alarm

or have to be rather all radio or all cable?
got a new extension to wire up, not a problem connecting there with 3 core but there is an occupied house too, would go for a radio system in there...

as long as there is a link so that any detector alarming causes all others to sound, then no problem mixing wired and radio links.

As above.....thats why Aico have connection terminals on the radio base.

swap one of the original wired bases for a wireless base and it will send the signal to the remote wireless bases.

For domestic as others have mentioned - Aico Easy Fit - by far the best in my opinion. Can mix and match with radio and linked to your hearts content..
