aico interconnects quickie

[SPARTYKUS]

Hello

Quick one as not somewhere I can look up easily- standard mains ionisation (161i?) -do they or rather should they BOTH go off when one test button is pressed?

 

[telectrix]

think the test button only sounds it's own detector, but stand to be corrected as not 100% sure.

May be of help but their site has an interactive section which answers all or most questions,

If interlinked then all detectors connected should go off when test button is pressed.

Only have generally worked with Aico's for a long time, but even the other brands all interlinked detectors should sound. With Aico's no matter what you have be it a Smokie, heat or carbon, if interlinked they should all sound. Likely to be a very short delay from the first detector sounding to the others sounding.

Well worth getting the aico publications (free!)

I got them after a member here recommended them and a few weeks later the local rep phoned me to introduce himself and said if I had any questions etc to give him a ring.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think they operate ok if not paired up. The trouble is that if not set then any unset radio bases within range will sound - your neighbours and so on.
