Aico is pleased to be exhibiting its range of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms at The Chartered Institute of Housing’s ‘Housing 2013 Conference & Exhibition’ in Manchester, 25-27th June. Centre stage will be Aico’s unique RadioLINK Professional wireless interconnect mains powered smoke and CO alarms.
Interconnecting smoke alarms in a domestic property is a requirement of BS 5839: Pt.6: 2004 (the standard for domestic fire alarm installations) and Building Regulations; it provides an earlier warning for residents and the best chance of escape. However, hard wired interconnection can be time consuming, disruptive and costly. RadioLINK, on the other hand, works by allowing mains powered Smoke, Heat and Multi Sensor alarms to be wirelessly interconnected. If one alarm on the system is triggered, Radio Frequency signals are used to cause every other alarm in the property to sound.
Aico broke new ground when it launched RadioLINK in 2004 as the very first wireless alarm interconnect system in the domestic field. To date, over 1 million RadioLINK alarms have been fitted in private and social housing throughout the UK.
RadioLINK provides highly effective fire detection with a number of unique features, including its ease of installation and set up and its ability to wirelessly interconnect to other devices for maximum effectiveness and flexibility. This latter aspect is particularly advantageous as it allows wire-free interconnection to Aico CO alarms and Alarms for the Hearing Impaired, as well as third party equipment such as sprinkler systems and Warden Call Systems. Aico also provides a variety of control options, including wall mounted switches which allow the user to Test, Silence and Locate alarms without having to reach up to them, Manual Call Points for use in larger installations and relays to signal to other devices.
Aico works in partnership with local authorities, housing associations, developers, specifiers, contractors and wholesalers, bringing its unrivalled products, experience and expertise to help customers achieve their goals: to offer the very best fire and CO detection possible. Aico staff will be on hand at Housing 2013 to show its product range and to explain the long term financial benefits of installing quality fire detection equipment, especially in relation to reducing ongoing maintenance costs.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Ei Electronics, all Aico alarms are designed and built in Europe, specifically to meet UK standards and regulations, under the strictest of quality controls.
