Interlinked alarms and why they improve safety for tenants and customers

Interlinked smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms offer unparalleled safety by ensuring that all alarms in a property sound simultaneously when one detects danger. This feature is especially vital in multi-room properties or homes with vulnerable tenants. But how exactly do interlinked alarms improve safety, and why should you prioritise them? 

The science behind interlinked alarms  

Interlinked alarms, whether hardwired or wirelessly connected, work as a network by transmitting signals between devices to ensure synchronised alerts. Wireless systems typically use RF (radio frequency) technology to communicate, offering a reliable range of up to several hundred meters depending on building layout and materials. This ensures that when one alarm detects smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide, all alarms in the system are triggered, providing comprehensive and immediate warnings throughout the property. When one alarm detects smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide, it sends a signal to trigger all alarms within the system. This ensures that everyone in the property, regardless of location, is alerted promptly to potential danger.
