    [title] => How do wireless smoke alarms work?
    [content] => <p>The wireless technology that goes into our range of smoke alarms enables up to 12 units to be fitted within a building typically up to 30 metres apart (depending on the structure). Radio signals are used to interconnect alarms without the need for wiring, so when one unit detects smoke / heat it will alarm and send out a radio frequency alert to all other units that are interconnected, triggering them to alarm as well.</p>
<p>The diagram below demonstrates how wireless smoke alarms set off the other smoke alarms when they are triggered by a fire. The animation has been slowed down to explain the process; in reality this takes only milliseconds.</p>

  <h3>Stage 1 – A Fire is Detected</h3>
  <p>Upon detecting a fire, a detector unit will alarm with an 85dB sounder alerting anyone in the immediate vicinity that a hazard has been identified.</p>
  <h3>Stage 2 – The Wireless Signal is Sent</h3>
  <p>The alarm unit that has detected the fire sends out a coded radio signal to all other smoke and heat alarm units within the same setup (house coding), alerting them to the danger. The house-coding ensures that only smoke alarms within the same property are going off and not in neighbouring properties.</p>
  <h3>Stage 3 – All Wireless units in the system sound</h3>
  <p>When the radio signal is received by the other house-coded units, they too will alarm, alerting anybody in the premises that a danger has been identified.</p>
