Product Overview
Interlink
Technical Data
FAQs (1)
These Firehawk optical smoke and heat alarms are mains-powered and fitted with sealed self-charging back-up batteries designed to last their full 10 year lifespan without needing to be replaced. Suitable for Grade D1 installations and Scottish regulations, Firehawk FHN250RB optical smoke alarms and FHN450RB heat alarms can interlink in a system of up to 15 alarms to warn all occupants throughout the whole house if one detects a possible fire. The supplied Fast-Fix bases also allow for the easy replacement or swapping of smoke and heat alarm heads from the same range if required. An "end of life" warning chirp will sound when the whole unit needs replacing after 10 years, but this can be silenced for 10 hours in case it starts during the night.

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.
