Smoke Alarm Reliability.

Zoomup
Hello All,

                  has anyone got any info on the reliability of the mains/battery smoke alarm model 670MBX please? These are distributed by BRK of GL2 2DE. I have come across reliability problems. I was wondering if this is a product quality problem or a local mains' problem.


Thanks,


Z.

    When we did a training course with Ei/Aico, they stated that the instructions say NOT to test with canned smoke, because they're designed NOT to respond to false alarms (and it's a false alarm).  Given that manufacturers instructions override the regs... that's worth bearing in mind.


    I've seen a few BRK alarms in the wild, but not fitted any, so no real experience with their reliability
