Wireless Fire Alarm Systems

The alarms are linked by radio, so a fire detected by one can sound the alarm on the others without interconnecting cable. Aico RadioLINK uses a mesh network on 868.499 MHz, as on the Ei168RC base. Ajax detectors report over the two-way Jeweller protocol to an Ajax hub, and on the FireProtect 2 RB Heat/CO alarms are relayed across the system within the hub polling interval.

Choose Aico domestic alarms for a home. Battery models with RadioLINK+ built in, such as the Ei650iRF optical smoke alarm and the Ei630iRF heat alarm, need no wiring and are Grade F1. Mains alarms such as the Ei146e, which is Grade D2, can be linked by radio when fitted on the Ei168RC RadioLINK base instead of running interconnect cable.

Yes, Ajax EN54 FireProtect detectors such as the 119921.275.WH1 smoke detector are addressable wireless devices for EN54 fire systems, reporting over Jeweller to compatible Ajax control equipment. The 119918.273.BL1 is an EN54-5 point heat detector, and the 135976.358.BL1 range extender keeps EN54 Line devices connected across a large or complex facility.

Plan an Aico radio-linked system around a limit of 12 devices. The Ei168RC RadioLINK base supports up to 12 RadioLINK devices. The Ei128R relay module has a system capacity of 12 interconnected devices too. Count the smoke, heat and CO alarms, the controller, any strobe and any relay module within that number.

Fit a heat alarm, because steam and cooking fumes can set off a smoke alarm. The Ei144e, Ei3014 and Ei630iRF use a thermistor sensor that triggers at 58°C, and the Ei3028 adds carbon monoxide detection for a kitchen or garage. On EN54 systems, the Ajax FireProtect heat detectors are intended for places where smoke detection is unsuitable.

Yes, carbon monoxide alarms can share the radio link with the fire alarms. The Ei208WRF is a battery CO alarm with RadioLINK+ built in and a sealed 10-year lithium battery, and the Ei3018 mains CO alarm connects through the Ei3000MRF module. The Ei3028 combines heat and CO detection in one mains alarm for a kitchen or garage.

Yes, the Ei171RF RadioLINK strobe light gives a visual warning when an alarm is triggered in a RadioLINK system. It uses a Xenon strobe with a 0.8Hz flash rate and is mains powered with a rechargeable battery backup. The Ei174 vibrating pillow pad plugs into it and pulses strongly to wake someone who is asleep.

Use the Ei450 RadioLINK alarm controller. This wall-mounted switch lets you test the alarms, locate the one that triggered and silence nuisance alarms from a central point, with red and amber LEDs for fire and CO activations. The Ei450 runs on a sealed 10-year lithium cell and pairs with the system by House Coding, so no wiring is needed.

Yes, Aico 140e Series mains alarms can be upgraded with the Ei168RC RadioLINK base. It is a mains-powered easi-fit base plate with a rechargeable lithium backup battery, and it links alarms such as the Ei146e and Ei144e by radio. It suits retrofits and hybrid systems, turning a wired system wireless with minimal disruption.

Yes, through an Aico relay module. The Ei128R and Ei128RBU switch volt-free NO/NC contacts rated 240V AC / 5A when an interconnected Aico alarm sounds, in pulse or continuous mode, to start equipment such as strobes, extractor fans, telecare or warden call systems. The Ei128RBU adds a 10-year rechargeable lithium battery backup.
