On detection of smoke, the wireless optical smoke detector will raise two alarms. Firstly a local audible alarm and secondly a vital signal will be automatically sent to Help Call and other Help Call enabled systems. This in turn will immediately raise a call to the 24 hour monitoring centre and an experienced operator will alert the emergency services.
Because the process is automatic and immediate, the risks to life and property are reduced. By using wireless technology, there is minimal disruption to fixtures and fittings during the installation process and detectors can be easily relocated should the need arise.
