Discontinued Product - No Compatible Replacement
Please Note: The manufacturer has withdrawn from the European market and is no longer supplying compatible alternatives. Since it is not possible to interlink alarms from different manufacturers, the recommended replacement for the whole discontinued BRK 700MRL range is the Aico Ei3000 series.
A list of replacement smoke and heat alarms for discontinued Kidde Safety and Ei Electronics alarm models.
The BRK 770MRL (also known as 670MRL) mains powered ionisation smoke alarm provides quick detection of fast flaming fires and is typically installed in upstairs landing areas. Fitted with a sealed self-charging lithium back-up battery, the 770MRL does not require a battery change for the life of the alarm, making it ideal for properties where replacing batteries would be inconvenient. Up to 12 alarms from the BRK 700MRL series can be interlinked by wire within a single system.
Please note: this product is not a direct upgrade from the 670MBX smoke alarm. Upgrading from a BRK 600MBX series alarm featuring an alkaline battery and twist-on base may require rewiring by a qualified electrician.

Product Datasheets |
BS 5839-6 recommends that one or two storey HMOs with an individual floor area of no more than 200sqm (not the total of both floors) should have a Grade D smoke alarm system installed. Grade D refers to mains powered smoke alarms with a back up battery power supply. The alarms can be interlinked either by wire or by radio signal and the system does not require a separate fire alarm panel. For HMOs of 3 storey or higher, a Grade A panel system would need to be installed. This can cover the whole of the building, or can be used just for the communal areas with a separate Grade D system installed for the individual dwellings. For both applications, the level of cover should be a minimum of LD3 (in all escape routes) but this may change according to the fire risk assessment.

Great product and simple to install onto an existing plate if you are replacing an old product such as DICON Watch out for the battery tag, there is a clear one which implies you pull it out and it is then connected. In actual fact you need to take the battery out and connect it. Not sure what the first tag is for.
