If you go down the route of mains powered battery backup if using wireless interlink don't forget Thier will be an upper limit of devices that can be interconnected.

I have just started installing this system. I am disappointed so far with the system.


1. The wireless base electrical connections are not easy to use. They are Wago style push in connections. The 1.00mm2 solid conductor has to be pushed in VERY FIRMLY indeed to get a good grip on the cable. I am having to use thin nosed radio pliers to assist me. Also the wireless transmitter/receive unit gets in the way of being able to push the cables in at the right angle, thus the need for radio pliers.


2. The smoke and heat detectors do not easily affix to the bases. You have to struggle to get them home.


3. The pairing of the separate units is a bit of a phaff. I will try again quietly tomorrow.
