smoke - heat - carbon alarms

A switch that locates!

lol....on activation all smokes/heat/co go in alarm, pressing the locator switch, will turn off all alarms except the one which initially activated. Thus now you know where the fire or co activation started.

Just read in AICO booklet (pages 116-17) that if Smoke and Carbon detectors on same circuit...an Alarm Control Switch MUST be fitted. I take it, that this is different from an isolation switch. Any one any ideas the difference between the two items?

No....If you look at the Aico control switch it has 3 buttons, Locate...Test....Silence

Sorry I meant to say difference between locator switch and Alarm Control switch.
Alarm Locator switch.....has one switch. (Ei159)
Alarm Control Switch....has two switches (Ei1529RC)
Do they have to be fitted between the first and second detector or any where in circuit?

The control switch can be fitted anywhere within the the circuit.....the rc type is radio controlled so must be learnt to house code.

Thanks for quick reply.....just to confirm, this will be hard wired system. 1mm T+E & 1mm 3core E Bit thrown by radio controlled?

Hardwired is 3 core & earth to nearest detector, rc type is just as it says, no wires using rc to control
