Smokes - what's your preference?

[WPD Lad]

Full RCBO board, would you put them on the lighting circuit or on their own RCBO?

Thanks in advance

i remember years ago when we used to go round to granddads....bloody house used to be wreathed in smoke......`capstans`...and `senior service`...lol...

My Grandad had horrible brown fingers from the nicotine in his woodbines (aka coffin nails)
He used to scare me with them (the fingers not the tabs hehe)

i'd have had a 20oz. T-Bone steak, rare, with proper chips, mushrooms, tomatoes, washed down with a couple of pints of theakson's old peculier , £25 at my favorite watering hole.

I don't mind paying good money for good food

going back, many years. we had a shilling a day for school meals. friday was fish ( 1 catholic boy in a class of 36 ), so the shilling bought 5 park drive with 1 & 1/2p change.

You mean 1&1/2d, Tel. Only speaking from similar experience.

Gonna need a bigger net to help reel this post back in lads ...

My pref is smokes on a main lighting circuit. Local isolation is by removing the alarm from the back plate. Manufacturer designed to comply.

The council in parts of north wales demand that they are on their own CPD and that red-coloured twin and eath is used!

Bunch of wierdo's up that way:shades_smile:, never seen red T&E though!

My mums born Mancot lived in Shotton/Connah's Quay and areas in between before coming to god's county. Only spark I know your way is Alan Rowe, know of him?

I always used to put them on their own circuit, but as already stated some people including tenants will turn off the MCB and take the batteries out if it keeps going off.

I now put them onto the downstairs lighting circuit

Thread revival :26:

Has anyone used the aico relay bases to link the smoke alarms to the house alarm?

Crazy idea or worth doing with proper placement of smokes and heat alarm in kitchen?

Used them a few times when hard wiring an interlink cable is nothing short of a nightmare. They are a good job, but I'd only use them if hard-wiring is too difficult as the radio bases aren't cheap.

can do either option but on there own circuit they are gonna get switched off if on lights they wont switch the lights off they will get the problem sorted

I didn't mean the wireless bases, I meant the ones with a relay output which can be used for linking to the house intruder alarm. When the smoke alarm is activated the house alarm sounds a different tone

The smokes will be hard wired with interlink
