Domestic smoke alarm system.

[schoe]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody could offer me some advice. I'm looking to hard wired two smoke alarms in my property, one on each floor. can anyone advice me how to go about this.I assume it has to be run from it's own 6 amp fuse, what cable do I use? Is 1.5mm twin and earth cable correct fp200, do I have to fit a unswitched fuse spur, and if so when wiring it from the fuse spur do I just loop into one alarm then onto the next like a radial circuit?Also my board is rcd protected is that an issue? Sorry for all the questions would really appreciate any advice,Kind regards chris

write it as a limitation then just write LIM in the results box. If you put it on a lighting circuit take the smokes down and all lamps out before IR testing.

or short L/N together and test to cpc. that way the test voltage doesn't appear across L/N
