HiSPEC Smoke Alarms Heat Detectors and CO Detectors Fire Safety Kits: Fully Compliant to 2022 Scottish Legislation (2 Smoke / 1 Heat)

Product Information

The remarkable feature of this alarm is its innovative design with the latest photoelectric sensor and intelligent chipset, giving the alarm exceptional sensitivity and the ability to respond to a fire hazard immediately. More specifically, the X-Sense smoke detector is able to detect both smouldering and fast-burning fires and can automatically issue a loud 85 dB horn. In addition to that, a LED indicator will begin flashing rapidly (in normal condition, the light is steady and won't disturb you).

When dangerous levels have previously been detected, but the threat is still there, the peak level memory will give you voice and LED notifications which encourage you to act. If there is a false alarm, and you safely know there is no threat, a hush button will allow you to temporarily silence the alarm. Wireless devices communicate with each other and other devices without the use of connecting wires. This can be through interlinking by radio or through wi-fi. It is smart, so can alert your phone if there are any issues. This can range from a power issue or sensor failure to smoke or carbon monoxide being detected. It will also tell you where the problem is, and Nest Protect will let you know even if you are out. You can also silence it from your phone should you wish. Heat (thermal) alarms detect heat (hot air) instead of smoke. The alarm is triggered when the temperature within the sensor chamber reaches over 58 degrees Celsius – generally when a fire is well established.They are big in America though, so watch this space for smart fire and smoke alarms becoming the norm here too. Extra Functionality This one has Thermoptek technology, which essentially means it can detect both smouldering slow fires and a rapid rise in temperature, which signals a fast fire.

Smoke alarms are the most common devices found in homes. They are self-contained appliances, so when smoke is detected, they have an internal alarm which will sound. The 880nm infrared wavelength looks for large particles created by slow smouldering fires and a second, 450nm wavelength of light looks for the tiny particles created by fast fires. Essentially, it is giving your home that extra layer of protection before it is too late. To provide the necessary level of safety and monitor the situation properly, smoke alarms are usually installed on the ceiling or walls in the places where the risk of fire is the highest. Basically, these places are located near stoves, boilers, and electric wiring. Some smoke sensors can be connected to the central fire warning system and if the fire is detected, they will instantly send a warning signal to the rescue service. What Features to Compare Type of SensorPros: Good for bedrooms, landings and hallways, and near to kitchens as they aren’t as prone to false alarms from cooking. Smoke particles change the balance of the current. When this happens a signal is sent to the integrated circuit and the alarm sounds. Split-Spectrum Sensor– The latest technology, championed by Nest Home. Their smoke alarms use a combination of both of the above to detect risks, looking for both smouldering and flaming fires. It is a technology which is commonly used in commercial environments but has now gone fully residential too.

The Hispec RF Pro range is a series of smoke and heat alarms that are fitted with a 10 year sealed longlife lithium battery. The radio-frequency interlinking allows for up 20 smoke and heat alarms, in the same series, to be included all in one system. If one of the alarms was to activate in another part of the property, it would activate the rest of the system to alert you to the fire. The combined test and hush button allows for easy weekly alarm testing and silencing of any nuisance alarms.Some smart models sound an alarm on your smartphone and through the alarm itself when triggered – this is the most helpful kind of smart alarm. But most will still notify your phone if they detect something, and can easily communicate with others in the collection. Many will also give you voice notes, either telling you out loud what they have detected or giving instructions. For a person to begin feeling the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, they would need to be exposed to a carbon monoxide level of 50 parts per million (ppm) for eight hours. An alarm’s response time will vary depending on the level of carbon monoxide in the air. For example, an alarm will sound after three and a half hours of continuous exposure at a level of 50ppm, yet will sound after eight minutes of continuous exposure at a level of 400ppm.” Nest Home is one of the best smart home systems available, with a huge range of heating and lighting support available. Their Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a must-have in the collection.
