FP2620W2-R Pro Connected Smart Smoke Alarm – Battery Powered

Press the central test button on the FP2620W2-R. You will hear a loud alarm sequence and the LED will flash, confirming the unit is working. If the alarm is interlinked, all connected devices will also sound. Test at least once a month and vacuum around the sensor every six months. See our full guide to testing your smoke alarm for more detail.

When alarms are interlinked they are able to communicate and will alert at the same time if one of the alarms detects danger. In the case of wireless interlink, this communication is in the form of protected radio frequency, which means there’s no need to run cables between the alarms. The FireAngel Pro Connected alarms allow the network to be extended to include devices across your entire home. For example, a network of 7 x smoke alarms, 3 x heat alarms, 3 x carbon monoxide alarms and a Gateway will be completely secure and protect your whole home, and are backwards compatible with the FireAngel Wi‑Safe2 range.

You can also add a Gateway into the network which will allow you to receive updates on the network when you’re away from the home. The Gateway will communicate with the FireAngel Connected App using your home’s internet connection, but if this fails or cuts out the alarms will still protect your home, but you won’t receive a push notification.

The FP2620W2-R works as a standalone or wirelessly interlinked alarm without the Gateway. However, adding the Pro Connected Gateway enables real-time smartphone notifications through the FireAngel Pro Connected App, so you receive alerts even when you are away from home.

The FP2620W2-R uses Thermoptek multi-sensor technology that combines optical and thermal sensing. This toast-proof design distinguishes between cooking fumes and real fire, so it can be placed near kitchens and dining areas without nuisance alarms. If it does trigger accidentally, press the central button to hush for up to 10 minutes.

A single beep every 40 seconds typically means the battery is reaching end of life and the alarm needs replacing. A repeated pattern of beeps indicates a fault. The Sleep Easy mode can silence low-battery beeps overnight. See our smoke alarm beeping guide to identify the specific pattern and what to do.

In Scotland, interlinked smoke alarms have been a legal requirement in all homes since February 2022. In England, smoke alarms are required on every storey of rental properties under the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2015. The FP2620W2-R meets these requirements wirelessly with no cabling needed. See our guide to interconnected smoke alarms for full details.

Standard optical alarms use a single light-scatter sensor to detect smoke particles. Thermoptek adds a thermal sensor that monitors heat changes, allowing the alarm to respond to both slow-smouldering and fast-flaming fires and reducing false alarms from steam or cooking fumes. See our guide on what smoke alarm should I buy for a full comparison.

As a minimum, install one smoke alarm on every storey of your home, including hallways and landings. For better coverage, add alarms in every bedroom, living room and dining room. The FP2620W2-R can interlink wirelessly with up to 50 devices, making whole-home coverage simple. See our guide on the best smoke alarms on the UK market for recommendations.
