L1 Smoke alarm / Fire alarm system

[jamesjl]

What I think he was trying to require was that you still need smoke/heat detection and that it be linked to the sprinkler system... so if sprinkler is activated the smoke alarms also activate

I see what you mean Charlie. The Automist system comes with its own separate, heat alarm anyway. So that coupled with my existing one - I would have thought would be adequate.

I don't think he knows what he is talking about citing an L1 system for a dwelling.

I agree. I've just spoken to my sparky, he says he hasn't done my certificate yet, so he will come and do a separate test of the heat/smoke alarm system and put the details of my heat/smoke system on the certificate. I should then scan the certificate, email it to the BC bloke telling him : this is the system I have, is that ok and can I go ahead with the Automist installation? If he says yes, then I have it in writing. Then he can't quibble with me afterwards. As he is known to do.

Yes but you still need to link the 2 together

I'm assuming that the Automist people do that when they do the installation. After all it's costing me £3k . They're coming monday to do a survey. I'll let you know what they say. It may be of interest

Thanks for the help

Is this a requirement?
