Thermoptek is a type of smoke alarm sensor technology and is used in FireAngel’s Specification range of mains and battery powered Multi-Sensor smoke alarms, which is used and recommended by over 90% of the UK Fire and Rescue service.
Thermoptek technology provides a much faster response to fire, giving housing occupants more time to escape should a fire occur. This technology is available at an affordable price, and is sold at a similar cost to some other single-sensor units that are available.
FireAngel Multi-Sensor detectors are at the forefront of cutting-edge fire safety technology and are recommended by UK Fire and Rescue Services and also British Standards. Multi-Sensor detectors are easy to attain, install and maintain in a home. Multi-Sensor alarms are suitable for installation in hallways, landings, bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms.

Our advanced Smart RF technology allows smoke, heat and CO devices to be interlinked wirelessly. When alarms are interlinked they are able to communicate and will alert at the same time if one of the alarms detects danger – when one sounds, they all sound. In the case of wireless interlink, this communication is in the form of Smart RF technology, which means there’s no need to run cables between the alarms. The FireAngel Specification range of alarms allows a network to be easily extended to include devices across an entire property. For example, a network of 6 x smoke alarms, 2 x heat alarms, 4 x carbon monoxide alarms and a Spec Connected Wireless Gateway will be completely secure and protect a whole property.
If you choose not to add a Gateway upon initial installation, you can add a Gateway to an existing network at any time in the future – this will allow for remote monitoring of devices as the Gateway will communicate with the FireAngel App using an internet connection, however, if the internet connection fails or cuts out the alarms will still continue to work and protect property, no internet connection means you will no receive any push notifications whilst the internet is not working.
A Grade D1 system is required for:
– New or materially altered dwellings, up to three storeys with no floor exceeding 200 m2.
– Existing dwellings with poor or inadequate fire protection, up to three storeys with no floor exceeding 200 m2.
– Individual dwelling units of two or more rooms in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) of one or two-storeys, with no floor exceeding 200 m2.
There are three Levels of Detection (LD). Generally the greater the fire risk the more comprehensive the system should be.
LD1 = Maximum Protection. Alarms in all circulation spaces that form part of escape routes and all areas where a fire might start.
LD2 = Medium Protection. All circulation spaces and escape routes (e.g.hallways and landings) are covered together with a provision of higher fire risk areas (e.g.kitchen and living rooms).
LD3 = Minimum Protection. Alarms in all circulation spaces that form part of escape routes.
* Ensure that a Grade D1 system is adequate for the dwelling you are installing the alarms in. You can obtain further information from your local fire service or building control department at your local council offices.
According to latest BS 5839-6 standards, for maximum LD1 protection you should fit a smoke alarm in the following rooms: Hallway, Landing, Living Room, Bedroom, Airing / Meter Cupboards, Loft, Garage. A smoke alarm is not recommended for installation in a kitchen, you should install a heat alarm in kitchens.
