Providing its not an insurance requirement (rarely ime) I'm a big advocate of any signalling is better than none. As an engineer I arranged for lots of sites to be signalled through the intruder (paperwork caveat etc included) 

 

 

Ive often sold it as an extra, when the customer already has a fire alarm

Same, as an engineer I did well kicking the arse out of the commission with these, paid twice, once for the lead and one for doing the interlink whilst I was there. Got my name in the ADT UK mag twice for the most sales leads along with 2 x £1500 on top of the Std commission.

Just out of interest do they supply the black marker?

Hi guys, hope you’re all safe? I know this has been asked a thousand times and will probably get me some grief for asking again but hey ho. 
what are the regs for an intruder alarm and a fire system sharing a dualcom? I’m assuming a few things, it has to be fire rated point to point seems obvious but how  can the alarm panel be fire rated? Surely that’s the week point? Like drilling a hole in a fire rated door or wall and not using fire stop etc.? Obviously it’s just easier to use two separate dualcom’s but then the cost goes way up. Anyway, hope this isn’t too annoying. Thanks in advance guys. 

from 5839 2017

 

It is now common practice for the transmission of fire alarm signals to an ARC to be routed via the alarm routing
equipment of an intruder alarm system. Notwithstanding that the mains power supplies, cable types and cable
routing for this alarm routing equipment might not necessarily conform to the recommendations of this part of
BS 5839, this practice is regarded as acceptable and need not be regarded as a variation from the recommendations
of this standard. However, standby battery capacity and any cable between the CIE and the alarm routing
equipment needs to conform to the recommendations of this part of BS 5839.
