Smoke Alarm Accessories

Smoke alarm accessories add functions to a smoke alarm system, such as relays, wireless links and remote test switches, rather than detecting smoke themselves. This page has an ESP Espire input module, relay bases including an input relay base, RF modules, remote control switches, a masking plate and multi tools, an Aico SmartLINK module and gateway, and Ajax SmartBracket mounting panels for FireProtect detectors.

Choosing Smoke Alarm Accessories

Start from the alarm range already fitted, and check which alarms an accessory works with before you choose it.

Connecting other equipment to Espire alarms

The ES1MODRF 10 year input module and the mains powered ES1MODV input relay base let third-party devices trigger the alarm function of Espire alarms. Working the other way, the ES1RB relay base switches third-party devices when an alarm activates; it is mains powered, has multiple knockout entries and lets an Espire alarm be mounted on top. The ES1RBRF is a relay base powered by a mains supply with a backup battery and an RF-Link module.

Radio modules and remote switches

The ES1RF is an RF-Link module for mains powered Espire alarms, and the ES1RF2 suits lithium battery powered Espire alarms, with a built-in battery to reduce the load on the alarm. The ES1REM is a battery powered RF remote control switch for RF-Link enabled alarms. The mains powered ES1REMV has three switches, for testing the alarms, hush and locate, and fits a standard UK 1 gang mount box.

Aico SmartLINK

The Aico Ei3000MRF plugs into the slot on an Aico 3000 Series alarm, takes its power from the alarm head and interconnects up to 12 RF devices on an 868MHz mesh. The Ei1000G gateway sends alarm events to an online portal over GSM; it runs on 230V AC mains with a rechargeable battery backup and works with SmartLINK and RadioLINK+ alarms, not the original RadioLINK.

Mounting and servicing

The ES1MP masking plate covers existing mounting holes, and the ES1MTB and ES1MTW multi tools, two to a pack in black or white, combine a pairing tool with an Anti-Tamper Lock-In Base release tool. For Ajax, the SmartBracket 9549.10.WH has a tamper switch and gives WAGO terminal access so an AC FireProtect can be wired while mounted.

Frequently asked questions

Which smoke detector parts can be replaced separately?

On many mains smoke alarms, the detector head fits onto a separate base, so a head can often be swapped without disturbing the wiring. Mounting plates and brackets can also be renewed, and a masking plate can cover old fixing holes left by a previous alarm. Check that any replacement part suits the same alarm range. The range here includes replacement mounting panels and a masking plate.

What are smoke alarm accessories?

Smoke alarm accessories are add-on parts that connect a smoke alarm system to other equipment or make it easier to control and fit. Relay bases can switch another device when an alarm sounds, input modules let outside equipment trigger the alarms, and radio modules add wireless interconnection. Remote switches, mounting brackets and installer tools complete the group.
