Detector Installation

Question

Good Afternoon

I am a Landlord in Scotland.  My smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors are all installed as per regulatory requirements with the recent addition of a hard-wired carbon monoxide detector.

Whilst I understand the carbon monoxide detector is not required to be interlinked to the smoke / heat detectors, where it is possible to do so, would the recommendation be for these to be interlinked?  The manufacturer, Aico, has confirmed they can indeed be interlinked however the Electrician who installed them has a different view.

I would appreciate any advice you may be able to offer as I'd rather make the correct choice.

Kind Regards

Hi Brad, it depends if it’s been specified.  If you have AICO alarms and CO then it’s good practice to interlink the CO as well but not a requirement unless specifically stated in the fire risk assessment

Hi yes they can be interlinked and they can have radio links and it's recommended to be interlinked
