Not that BG tat that’s for sure, Aico all the way

[@therealdojj]

lots of information there, it's very perplexing, even though you've explained it well
is there any reason you can think of as to why the regs differ from various bits of the uk? thought they would all be the same no?
thanks

Have you ever worked with Crossfire Alarms? They seem like a predatory brand but I could be wrong.

You state that the CO detector should not be linked to the smoke alarms, as you are not aware if it’s a fire or possible CO danger. If you have a controller, e.g. Aico Ei450 or Ei1529RC, which have a locate function, can you link the CO detector to the smoke alarms?
