The smoke detector is powered from the central control unit. The system is completely independent of replacement batteries. All connections are permanently monitored to ensure that the system is operating correctly.

The control unit has a high powered flashing beacon for day and night time warning and a pillow or mattress vibrator to awaken sleepers during an alarm condition.

The system and wiring are continuously monitored. The unit will go into alarm condition should a fault in the wiring occur (short/open circuit).

Operation 

When the smoke detector senses smoke both the vibrator pad and flashing beacon operate to give early warning of smoke hazard.

Testing 

The test button should be used on a daily basis to ensure that the unit is fully operational.

Compatibility

The Mains Smokie can be connected to most existing alarm and smoke detection panels.

The smoke detector is produced to BS 5446 Pt 1990. The unit plugs into a standard three pin mains power supply and conforms to British Standard 415 (1990)

Full installation and operating instructions are supplied with each unit.

 

The Battery Smokie

The Battery Smokie has been designed for ease of installation and is supplied with all batteries and cable.

Smoke Detector - battery operated.

Battery life approximately one year, fitted with low battery warning and test button. The battery in the smoke detector will emit a bleep every minute for thirty days at its low battery state. 

During this period the vibrating disk and flashing light will operate briefly for three seconds once an hour.

Control Pack - battery operated with test button and light indicating low battery state to give bedside reassurance that the system is active. 

The batteries in the control pack can be tested by use of the button. No light from the small test light beside the sockets on the control pack indicates that the batteries are low and require changing.

Vibrating Disc - and/or Flashing Light - automatically activated when the smoke detector operates. 
                 

The 24 Volt d.c. Smokie

We also supply a 24 Volt d.c. version of the Smokie for use with existing fire alarm installations. The 24V version Smokie is wired directly into the existing system so that when the main fire alarm activates the vibrator and beacon operate to warn hard of hearing occupants.
