Smoke alarm false
  • NormanJ

    I have 12 smoke alarms interconnected and when one goes off because of a fault we don’t know which one it is and have to remove them individually until we find the faulty one.
    They are connected through 4 units so it becomes a nightmare when trying to find the faulty one.
    Does anyone know if you can get a system where you can disconnect them all with a remote control?
    Therefore easily finding the faulty one?

    Hi
    I would talk to your facilities and maintenance team and have them discuss the problem with a specialist company like Wormalds https://www.wormald.co.nz/service-and-maintenance.
    Building fire monitoring systems are usually on your BWOF and need to meet a type (AS/NZ) standard depending on the building and its use.
    Hope this helps

    Hi Norman. I'd agree with Nick. Talk to a company that specialises in fire alarms or alarm monitoring. It sounds like a unique system. In any of the systems I've used the detector units are allocated to areas and you can identify the tripped unit by a solid red LED light on the unit.

    Hi Norman,
    Flick me your contact details. My wife specifies the systems (they don't do sales, just the design/specs, so no sales pressure). I'll put you in touch.
    But short story is yes, you can get them addressable so that the panel will tell you which sensor is in fault.
    Also, are you sure you've got the correct type of alarms?
