HiSPEC Smoke Alarms Heat Detectors and CO Detectors Fire Safety Kits: Fully Compliant to 2022 Scottish Legislation (2 Smoke / 1 Heat)

Product Information

It is the property owner’s responsibility to meet this new standard. Households with alarms already fitted will need to ensure that they are interlinked so they will be alerted immediately no matter where the fire starts.

No need to buy two systems to detect the smoke and carbon monoxide gas. This model combines both, taking up less space at your house or apartment. As the mentioned gas can be very dangerous, keeping an eye on its levels at home is always a sound idea. Note, however, that the system takes quite a long time to warn you about the high level of carbon monoxide. Other than that, it’s a nice and practical addition to your living space. Now that the alarms law has changed in Scotland, you'll need to install interlinked heat and smoke alarms in your home. The remarkable feature of this alarm is its innovative design with the latest photoelectric sensor and intelligent chipset, giving the alarm exceptional sensitivity and the ability to respond to a fire hazard immediately. More specifically, the X-Sense smoke detector is able to detect both smouldering and fast-burning fires and can automatically issue a loud 85 dB horn. In addition to that, a LED indicator will begin flashing rapidly (in normal condition, the light is steady and won't disturb you).The Nest smoke alarms use a Split-Spectrum Sensor as opposed to either optical or ionisation technology, which is the best blend of both worlds. It enhances the traditional infrared photoelectric sensor with a second, blue LED, which detects a wider range of particle sizes in the air before they enter the alarm chamber. Battery alarms are much easier to install, however. There is no wiring to get right, and you’re a bit more flexible in terms of positioning. Smart Smoke Detectors Since 2002, Hispec has been at the forefront of delivering top-notch fire safety products and innovative lighting solutions to the UK wholesale market. Our diverse product streams cover Fire & CO alarms, Emergency Lightingand an extensive range of lighting products. False alarms can also be silenced from your phone. This is handy if you’re in the middle of frying a steak and don’t want to leave it unattended, or can’t reach the alarm to turn it off without trying to press it with the end of the mop/standing on steps.

So, if you see an alarm which doesn’t have a replacement battery but should last around ten years, this is not something to be worried about as this is usually a good sign the whole unit will need changing anyway. Netatmo is a great brand when it comes to smart home equipment, and this Smart smoke alarm is more affordable than its similar rivals if you are on a bit of a budget. Officially seen as the World’s smallest smoke alarm at just 4cm in diameter, this Cavius is not just a novelty. If you need a bit of a visual guidance, it is basically the size of a golf ball. Despite its size, it works just as well as its larger rivals. All of these concentrations are bad enough when you’re awake and realise that something isn’t quite right – especially if others are feeling a similar effect – but if you’re asleep, you may wake up with a severe headache and nausea and be incapable of even crawling for fresh air. Worse, you might not even wake up at all. Why should I be concerned?These alarms are more sensitive to smaller particles of smoke produced by the flaming stage of fires than optical alarms, and more easily triggered by cooking – causing false alarms. Everyone knows how important it is to have a smoke alarm in the home. If a fire breaks out while you’re asleep, the smoke it emits will set off the alarm, hopefully giving you time to get out before being asphyxiated by the fire’s deadly concoction of chemical gases. As well as changing the battery if need be, your actual alarm will likely need replacing around every ten years. This is the recommended deadline to ensure you still have the most effective system for your home, and it isn’t clogged up with smoke particles. In Scotland, since February 2022, interlinked smoke and heat alarms have needed to be fitted in all homes. Pros: Can suit dustier areas, such as lofts, the area near your bathroom or rooms where people smoke.
