Aico Fire & CO Detection Products

Aico makes smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms for homes, and this page gathers them with the parts that link single alarms into a system. It covers mains 3000 Series and 140e Series alarms, sealed 10-year battery models, SmartLINK and RadioLINK modules, a remote monitoring gateway, environmental sensors, manual call points, control switches, relay modules and a strobe and vibrating-pad kit for people with hearing loss.

Choosing Aico Fire & CO Detection Products

Choose the alarm heads, then the way they interconnect, then any monitoring and add-ons.

Mains 3000 Series heads

In the 3000 Series, single-sensor heads such as the Ei3016 (optical smoke), Ei3014 (heat) and Ei3018 (carbon monoxide) sit beside multi-sensors such as the Ei3024 (optical and heat), Ei3028 (heat and CO) and Ei3030. The Ei3030 combines optical, heat and electrochemical CO sensors, runs on 230V AC with a rechargeable 10-year lithium cell back-up and is certified to BS EN14604:2005, BS5446-2:2003 and BS EN50291-1:2018.

Wired or radio interconnection

The Ei3000MRF SmartLINK module plugs into a 3000 Series head, is powered from the alarm and needs no batteries, linking heads such as the Ei3018 by radio. 140e Series alarms such as the Ei146e go wireless on the Ei168RC RadioLINK base, and battery alarms such as the Ei660iRF have RadioLINK+ built in. The Ei1529RC control switch and the MCP401RC manual call point connect with 3-core cable instead.

Monitoring for landlords

The Ei1000G gateway links SmartLINK and RadioLINK+ alarms with a cloud portal over GSM, using the roaming SIM card supplied, so a housing association can see fire activations, CO levels and mains power loss remotely, though not on original RadioLINK systems. The Ei1020 sensor reads temperature and humidity and the Ei1025 adds CO₂, helping to spot condensation, damp and mould; they report through the Ei1000G.

Call points, switches and alerts

The Ei1529RC and the wireless Ei450 let you test, locate and silence alarms from one switch. The Ei428 relay module switches volt-free contacts rated 240V AC / 5A for telecare systems, strobes or extraction fans. The Ei170RF kit pairs a Xenon strobe with a vibrating pillow pad for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Frequently asked questions

Are Aico smoke alarms wireless?

Yes, some are: Aico battery alarms with RadioLINK+ built in link together by radio, and mains alarms can go wireless with a plug-in radio module or base. Others interconnect with a hard-wired cable. Choose wireless where running new cable between rooms would be disruptive. The range here includes RadioLINK+ smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms, a plug-in radio module and a radio base.

Are Aico smoke alarms any good?

Yes, Aico is a UK manufacturer that specialises in domestic smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms, and its alarms are widely fitted in UK homes and rented housing. When choosing, check the sensor type for the room, the power source and how the alarms will interconnect. The range here includes optical smoke, heat and multi-sensor alarms.

How do you house code Aico smoke alarms?

To house code Aico radio-linked alarms, put the alarms and modules in the group into house code mode, usually by holding the house code button. They then learn one shared code together, which makes them respond to one another and ignore a neighbour's system. Check the maker's instructions for the exact sequence on your model, then test the system.
