[QUOTE="freedomrun, post: 303551, member: 7914"] Not wanting to go off topic to much .. but if the smoke and heat detectors on the lower floor are on the down lighting cct and the upper smoke detector on the upper floor lighting cct, then interlinking them hardwired would ensure they all go off in the event of an emergency even though one of the detectors is on a separate cct to the others ( also they would have battery backup ) - as mentioned, access is not a problem in this case. I would prefer to connect detectors to the lighting cct's as it would be obvious to the occupier that the cct was not functional in the case of a fault. If the detectors were on a dedicated cct, then it would not be so clear. I would be using detectors of the same brand / model. Why would they not all sound together as mentioned in the previous post if connected to separate cct's? [/QUOTE]
