APPLICATION
WARNING:
Your FireAngel smoke alarm
can be installed into a new build property
as additional protection to an existing smoke
detection system only. It cannot be used
as a substitute for a hard wired system as
required in new build properties. In this
type of property the building regulations
require alarms to be interlinked. You can
obtain further information from your local
fire service or building control department
at your local council offices. These sources
generally provide advice on new builds or
projects that require planning permission.
Your smoke alarm typically meets the
minimum requirements for family living units
in existing buildings, as long as at least one
unit is installed on each floor/level of your
property.
In order to achieve the earliest fire warning,
we recommend that a smoke alarm is fitted in
all rooms where the temperature is normally
between 4°C (40°F) and 38°C (100°F). The
type of smoke alarm used in each location
should be appropriate to the environment.
Check the section on ‘Positioning’ to ensure
that the smoke alarm is to be correctly
positioned for the particular dwelling into
which it is intended to be installed.
WARNING:
The alarm positions shown
overleaf are based on typical homes.
Construction and layout of individual
dwellings will vary, so this should be regarded
only as a guide. Check with your local Fire
and Rescue Service for further guidance.
Multi-family or mixed occupant residence
(Tenancy building, student accommodation)
Your FireAngel smoke alarm can also be used
in individual flats and bedsits, providing the
same conditions are met as for a single-family
residence. However, there must already be
a primary fire detection system that meets
regulatory requirements for common areas
such as lobbies and hallways.
