Aico, the UK’s market
leader in domestic mains powered Fire and Carbon Monoxide (CO) detection, has
launched the new 3000 Series.
This technologically
advanced series detects both Fire and CO and includes, for the very first time,
a Multi-Sensor Heat & CO Alarm, providing whole property coverage from one
Series.
“The 3000 Series
represents one of the most significant advances of the Aico product range in
recent years” states Aico Managing Director Neal Hooper.
“It’s the coming
together of the very latest alarm technologies with Aico’s reputation for
unbeatable reliability and quality. We refer to the 3000 Series as having
‘intelligent simplicity’ - we’ve built intelligence in to every alarm whilst
ensuring simplicity for every install.”
Unique to the 3000
Series, the Ei3028 Multi-Sensor Heat & CO Alarm has been much anticipated
as a convenient, cost-effective, efficient solution to protecting residents
from both Fire and CO. With high heat sources from cooking appliances
posing a potential fire hazard and gas fuelled appliances representing a
potential source of CO, combining Heat and CO detection in one alarm is a
sensible approach, welcomed by landlords, contractors and residents alike.
In addition to the
Ei3028 Multi-Sensor Heat & CO Alarm, the 3000 Series incorporates a mains
powered Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm and single sensor Optical, Heat & CO
Alarms. All alarms in the Series use the same easi-fit base (a first for
Aico CO Alarms) and feature intelligent sensors, AudioLINK data extraction and
SmartLINK wireless interconnection and whole system data monitoring
capability.
Aico’s multiple award
winning AudioLINK data extraction technology enables real time alarm data (e.g.
number of times tested and details of alarm activations) to be extracted
directly to a smartphone or tablet via an App which creates an Alarm Status Report.
It identifies any issues enabling action to be taken immediately, which is
effective for tenant safety and in reducing the cost of return visits to a
property. AudioLINK also aids compliance for landlords, providing proof
that alarms are working at the start of a new tenancy and with annual Gas
Safety Checks.
Next generation Radio
Frequency (RF) technology, SmartLINK enables alarms and system accessories to
be interconnected using RF signals rather than hard wiring. Hard wired
interconnection is time consuming, disruptive and costly in existing properties,
whereas wireless interconnection is quick, easy and requires no
redecorating. The new SmartLINK technology is smarter and easier to use
than its predecessors and future-proof. What’s more, Aico is currently
developing SmartLINK technology to enable a Gateway and Portal based system
with real-time notifications.
All alarms in the 3000
Series are backwards compatible with existing Aico products, including the
ground-breaking Ei450 Alarm Controller and Ei414 Fire/CO Alarm Interface.
Aico is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Ei Electronics and is the UK market leader in Fire & CO
protection. All alarms are designed and built in Europe specifically to meet UK
standards and regulations.
