Product Information

Full details

The Hispec Wireless Interlinking Alarm Kit (RF10-PRO) is designed for homeowners seeking comprehensive fire and carbon monoxide detection. Its key benefit is the wireless interlinking of multiple alarms, providing an early warning throughout the home. A potential consideration is that it relies on sealed batteries, meaning the units must be replaced after 10 years. This kit includes two smoke alarms, one heat detector, and one carbon monoxide alarm, all powered by 10-year sealed lithium batteries and communicating via radio frequency.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the expected lifespan of the alarms?

The alarms are powered by sealed 10-year lithium batteries. After 10 years of service, the entire unit must be replaced.

Do I need to connect these alarms to mains power?

No, these alarms are battery-powered and do not require mains wiring, making installation simpler.

What is the warranty period?

The Hispec Wireless Interlinking Alarm Kit comes with a 5-year product warranty from the date of purchase.

Can I add more alarms to this system later?

Yes, additional Hispec wireless interlinking alarms compatible with the RF system can be added to expand coverage, provided they are within radio range.

Where should I place the heat detector?

The heat detector is best suited for areas where smoke alarms might be prone to nuisance alarms, such as kitchens or garages.

What standards do these alarms meet?

The alarms are CE and Kitemarked and comply with the updated 2022 Scottish legislation and current English requirements.

How do I test the wireless interlinking?

Press the test button on any alarm. All connected alarms in the system should sound simultaneously. Repeat for each alarm to ensure full functionality.

Troubleshooting

Alarm not sounding during test

Ensure the alarm is correctly mounted and the battery is active. Test the interlink function by triggering a different alarm in the system. Check that all alarms are within radio range of each other.

False alarms occurring

Check placement; ensure smoke alarms are not too close to kitchens or bathrooms. Clean the alarm vents gently with a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. For CO alarms, ensure they are not placed near high-humidity areas or where normal combustion fumes might be present.

Alarms not interlinking

Verify that all alarms are within sufficient range of each other. Ensure no large metal objects or thick walls are obstructing the RF signal. If problems persist, contact customer support.

Alarm chirping intermittently

This usually indicates a low battery or a fault. As these alarms have sealed 10-year batteries, chirping after extended use may signify the end of the product's life, requiring replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides comprehensive protection with smoke, heat, and CO detection in one kit.
Wireless interlinking ensures rapid alerts throughout the home.
Long-life 10-year batteries reduce maintenance and offer sustained protection.
Complies with current UK fire safety legislation.
Easy, wire-free installation saves time and complexity.
Backed by a 5-year warranty for added assurance.

Cons

Sealed batteries mean the entire unit needs replacement after 10 years.
Requires clear line-of-sight or minimal obstructions for optimal wireless communication between alarms.
No visual indicator for battery level; relies on the 10-year lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Mounting: Decide on the optimal location for each alarm according to their type (smoke, heat, CO) and manufacturer recommendations.
Power Activation: The 10-year lithium batteries are sealed and should activate upon initial installation or removal of a battery pull-tab if present.
Interlinking: The alarms are pre-linked via radio frequency out-of-the-box for seamless communication. No complex pairing is typically required.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed to work as a standalone system. The RF10-PRO alarms are designed to interlink with other Hispec RF alarms. Compatibility with alarms from different manufacturers is not guaranteed.

Care:

Cleaning: Gently vacuum the alarm vents with a soft brush attachment monthly to remove dust. For a deeper clean, wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth; do not use detergents or solvents.
Testing: Test each alarm weekly by pressing the test button. Ensure all linked alarms sound when one is tested.
Placement: Avoid placing smoke alarms near kitchens (use the heat alarm instead) or bathrooms, and CO alarms near bathrooms or kitchens where fumes might be present from normal activities. Ensure CO alarms are near fuel-burning appliances.
