smoke alarms again

jackreacher

looking for a little bit of guidance from the knowledgeable people on the internet.

i have 4 ei141 interconnected smoke alarms which i have decided to change.
what i want to change them too is

a heat alarm for the kitchen ei 164 rc
3 smoke alarms for the rest of the house ei 166 rc
an interconnectable co2 alarm ei 261 enrc

a remote control switch ei1529rc

does anybody see a problem or have any feedback on what ive chosen

thanks again

prob a wind-up but anyway


don't think it would be a good idea to replace all ionization with optical

usually a mix is recommended

don't know much on CO but

i think the carbon monoxide would be interconnected with other CO alarms or else left standalaone

not sure what u mean?

im trying to interconnect smoke and co2 alarms so if co2 alarm goes off down stairs smoke alarms on the 3 rd floor go off.

dunno much on CO but

last time i looked at EI website

they said not generally recommended to link CO and smoke

for smoke windows stay closed- for CO you open windows

as above, they detect different things, if you want I think EI can supply you with an additional sounder that you can cable directly off the detectors so you could possibly have a sounder (with a sound that matches the co detector and distinguishable from the fire alert sound) upstairs to warn about a CO2 alarm in another part of the house,

I can't see a good reason to link them, in bigger installs a CO detector can be used on a BMS system to open windows, they flag different things and require a different reaction from you.

BTW I think that the EI guys are based in Kerry, last time I spoke to their tech department they were very helpful and professional.
