Suitability

UltraFire’s range of battery-powered fire detection and alarm devices are
designed to meet BS 5839-6 Grade F requirements. Even if interlinked as a
network with multiple sensor types, these alarms are only intended for use in 
single household premises which are permitted to use battery-powered alarms.

Local Building Regulations, legislation, or other requirements may specify 
mains-powered alarms, in which case this product is not suitable.

Multi-household domestic premises and commercial premises  usually require 
more advanced fire detection and alarm systems. 

Additional Features

Radio-Interlink

UltraFire radio-interlinked alarms are designed to be wirelessly interlinked as a 
network with up to 50 products. These alarms need to be “learned in” or
interlinked in order to communicate with each other. If one alarm activates, all 
other interlinked alarms will also sound. They are not designed to communicate 
with wireless alarms from other ranges or manufacturers.
