Anyone know anything about fire/smoke alarm installations? A

LD2 smoke detectors installed in an old B&B and have supplied a
copy of the Department for Local Communities booklet "Do You Have
Paying Guests?"
http://www.communities.gov.uk/public...e/payingguests This
document implies, page 14, that grade F smoke detectors are
"wirelessly connected" at least and a heat detector in the kitchen
is linked in too.

However, another document "FIRE ALARMS IN DWELLINGS" by John Ware
at
http://www.electrical.theiet.org/wir...s.cfm?type=pdf
gives an ambiguous picture that for grade F the detectors may not
need to be linked.


The relevant standard is BS 5839: Part 6: 2004, though as that
costs £200 I am not about to buy it.

It's free if you email me:-)
