Product Overview

The FHN250BB optical smoke alarms and FHN450BB heat alarms from Firehawk are mains-powered alarms with hardwire interlink, allowing up to 15 compatible alarms in the house to sound a warning to occupants when one detects a possible fire. These models feature replaceable AAA alkaline back-up batteries to ensure continued fire detection during a power cut, or if mains-power is turned off for other reasons like decorating or a blown light bulb. The unique Fast-Fix mounting base design allows alarms to be easily removed for cleaning and replacing batteries without needing to cut the power or worry about wiring, and the alarms will chirp an "end of life" warning (which can be silenced overnight) when the whole unit needs replacing after 10 years.

FAQs (1)
Q. Can I put my smoke alarm on the wall, or must it be mounted on the ceiling?
A.

The best location to install your smoke alarm is in the centre of the ceiling rather than on the wall.

During a fire, smoke initially rises and then spreads horizontally. Placing the smoke alarm in the centre of your ceiling means that it is closest to all four points of your room. This ensures that you receive the earliest possible warning of a fire.

For more information, read our guide to positioning your smoke alarm and guide to which smoke alarms are best for each room.
