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Please Note: The manufacturer has withdrawn from the European market and is no longer supplying compatible alternatives.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.
£53.99 inc VAT
£44.99 ex VAT
The BRK 790MRL (also known as 690MRL) mains powered heat alarm with self-charging lithium back-up battery is Kitemarked to the latest British Standards and has a 5 year manufacturer's warranty. Up to 12 smoke and heat alarms from the BRK 700MRL series can be interlinked (via cable) within a single system, allowing all alarms to activate if one is triggered by fire. The 790MRL is suitable for installing in kitchen areas and garages.
Please note: this product is not a direct upgrade from the 690MBX heat alarm. Upgrading from a BRK 600MBX series alarm featuring an alkaline battery and twist-on base may require rewiring by a qualified electrician.

We recommend a heat alarm in the kitchen, optical alarms in living rooms and hallway and ionisation alarms on landings.
The sticky pad is suitable for all battery operated smoke alarms. However, we cannot judge if battery alarms are suitable for your let property, as let properties usually require mains powered alarms. There is some advice to this in the governments guides to fire risk assessments. http://www.safelincs.co.uk/Fire-Risk-Assessment/ Also see the LACoRS guide for let properties.
There is only one alarm sound type when a fire is detected, when interconnected all smoke and heat alarms will sound. However only the triggered alarm will have a rapidly flashing red indicator.
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.
