Texecom Wireless Smoke Detector Problem

[datadiffusion]

All in one open plan space? As any type of smoke sensor is usually unsuitable for a kitchen anyway.

All open plan, utility and pantry have doors.  Fire Sensors in kitchen, utility, hall and landing on recommendation of installers.

Monitoring company call them out.  They call us first but both our jobs mean we aren’t by a phone all the time so they call the fire brigade I guess.

Fair enough I didnt think it was permitted only bs5839 compliant could. Ive never put an intruder alarm with smokes on brigade calling

Heat or Smoke?

 

Are the coloured rings blue, green, or orange on the Texecom detectors? I'm assuming they are Texecom (Exodus) units?

Would pay yes.  Wife and kids in the house and rather paranoid. What do you suggest?

Go for seperate detection in orangery and link to your intruder if business is good enough seperate Comms 

 

Unless the alarm gorillas can suggest how to have all on one set of Comms

Exodus then

 

Yes Blue is combined Optical (Smoke) and Heat

 

Ultimately, one for your installer to sort out, really, be interesting to see what they suggest.

 

I have, in the past, been given silly directions by builders misinterpreting building control regs, e.g. was asked to fit smokes in every bedroom in a domestic house with loft extension 'because the regulations say'.

I wonder if the same has happened with your installer here?

 

Personally the kitchen would always be a heat detector, as recommended.

 

Is it always just the one detector false alarming then?
