  We recently helped a customer resolve an issue with her old smoke alarms. What we weren't expecting was this amazing poem she sent to us as a token of gratitude. Thank you Jenny, what an incredible talent - we love it! An ode to the Photoelectric Smoke Alarm In the land of Australia, where dangers roam, Photoelectric smoke alarms find their home, With advanced technology, they stand tall, Guarding our lives, protecting us all. In their sensors lies a vigilant eye, Detecting smoke particles floating by, Sensitive to smoldering fires they detect, Acting swiftly, their purpose to protect. In the rugged Outback and urban domains, Photoelectric detectors shield us from flames, Their beams of light, a watchful embrace, Ready to react, ensuring our safe space. In the face of smoky whispers and haze, These alarms pierce through, cutting through the maze, Their accuracy shines like the Southern Cross, Alerting us swiftly, no time for loss. Australia's skies may challenge and deceive,

Fire is a devastating force that can destroy homes and take lives in the blink of an eye. Every year in Australia, there are dozens of house fires, resulting in many fatalities and injuries. Smoke alarms are one of the most effective tools in preventing fire-related deaths and injuries. Queensland has recently implemented new interconnected smoke alarm legislation to ensure every home is equipped with the best technology to detect and respond to fires. In this article, we will explore what interconnected smoke alarms are and why they are so important. What are Interconnected Smoke Alarms? Interconnected smoke alarms are smoke alarms that are linked together in a network. When one alarm is triggered, all other alarms in the network also sound an alarm, giving residents an early warning and valuable time to evacuate the home. This is particularly important when a fire starts in an area of the house that is not close to the occupants, such as in a garage or on another floor of the dwelli

  There is no point waiting until a fire occurs before figuring out what to do and where to go - especially when family members are involved. Having a well developed and rehearsed fire safety plan will provide the occupants crucial time to escape and could mean the difference between life and death. This article will show you how to develop a home fire safety plan and demonstrate that it needn’t be an onerous exercise.   Develop a floor plan and identify the emergency exit paths Draw a basic floor plan of your house, including key locations such as each person’s bedroom. Review the floor plan collectively with all occupants of the dwelling – identify both the primary and secondary path of exit so there are two means of escape for each person in the event of a fire. Are there obstacles to negotiate such as large furniture? Are there ‘landmarks’ along the way which could assist if smoke has reduced visibility to zero? Are there people in the home of various ages, differing physical

  Myth 1: The internet is required to make them interconnect – false! Many modern interconnected smoke alarms do not require the internet or home wifi to allow them to connect and ‘talk’ with one another. The connection or pairing process is achieved using wireless radio frequency transmissions and a RF transmitter which sits inside each alarm.   No internet? No worries. It’s not required. Myth 2: They are unsuitable for large multi-story dwellings – false! The exact range of an interconnected smoke alarm network varies between manufacturers, but on average you will find that interconnected smoke alarms can be separated by a distance of 25-30m between each alarm, and still function within a large 100m free field range without being compromised. Interconnected smoke alarms can be installed upstairs / downstairs / between walls and floors. Hot tip – before physically attaching the interconnected smoke alarms to the ceiling, place each one at its intended location and press the ‘te

  Nothing is more annoying or stress inducing than when a smoke alarm goes off unexpectedly. But why does this happen when there is no smoke? There could be several reasons. The good news is that you don’t have to go on living this way. Wireless interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms  will provide reliable protection for you and your family when installed correctly.   Photoelectric smoke alarms are activated when the light beam inside the smoke alarm is disrupted by particles entering the smoke alarm chamber. These foreign particles may come from sources other than real smoke.   High humidity High humidity may occur naturally as the air carries dense moisture particles that your smoke alarm confuses for smoke particles. Although brands differ, smoke alarms are generally designed to work up to 95% relative humidity – anything over this range and the air could become dense enough to scatter the light beam of a photelectric sensor.
