Combined Detectors

The Aico 3000 Series EI3028 combined heat and CO detector alerts you to sudden rises in temperature as well as toxic levels of carbon monoxide. Ideal for use in kitchens with gas-fuelled cookers and boilers or alongside open fires and wood burning stoves.

Using a combined heat and carbon monoxide detector has many benefits and means that you do not have the expense or trouble of having to install individual heat and carbon monoxide alarms.

This mains powered combined CO and heat detector features a built in 10 year rechargeable backup battery. The alarm also benefits from a manual test button, which can also be used to silence the alarm and flashing LED lights alert you to any faults with the alarm or sensor.

The Ei3028 can be upgraded to SmartLink Technology by installing the Ei3000mrf Wifi module. This will allow your connected devices to communicate with each other and provide records of faults, low batteries, end of life and maintenance records, all from a smart device or desktop. You can also receive emails or text alerts when devices have been triggered. These are ideal features for landlords as it maintains alarm status reports from the moment it is first switched on. This report can be emailed and serves as evidence of the records that landlords in the UK are required to maintain. Enabling these features requires the installation of the SmartLINK Ei1000G gateway& portal and the free App should be downloaded (IOS,& Google Play).

The Aico Ei3028 also comes pre-installed with AudioLink technology which allows you to audibly extract data such as battery and sensor status, alarm activation and testing records, and advice on dust contamination records simply by holding your smartphone or tablet close to the alarm when using the App.

Changes to Scotland Fire Safety Laws

From February 2022 all homeowners in Scotland are required to install interlinked fire and smoke alarms in every home. This will effect all home owners as well as private rented and new-build homes where this legislation is already mandatory. Scotland will be the first UK nation to require all residential properties to have interlinked fire alarms, which aims to significantly reduce the risk of injury or death. The core principle in which this legislation aims to improve is when there is a fire in one room, it will set off all the alarms throughout the property, giving residents more time to escape.

The legislation requires all properties to have one smoke alarm in the most frequently used rooms, one in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways, communal areas, and also a heat alarm in every kitchen. Where these is a carbon-fuelled appliance, such as boilers, open fires or flue, a carbon monoxide detector will also be required, although these do not have to be linked. All alarms can either be hard wired (by a qualified electrician) or tamper proof long-life lithium battery alarms. It is thought the average price for a home upgrade to linked alarms will be around £220, with the Scottish Government providing funding of £500,000 to help eligible older and disabled homeowners with installation, in partnership with Care and Repair Scotland.
