The more modern optical sensor technology in the Ei146e is less susceptible to false alarms, making it suitable for use in a wider range of locations such as rooms adjacent to kitchens, hallways, landings, bedrooms, and living areas. In January 2019 the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC or voice of the UK Fire & Rescue Service) lobbied for the removal of Ionisation smoke alarms through legislation. In December 2020 the Governement revised the regulations in accordance with the manufacture, transportation, storage, handling and disposal of smoke alarms containing Americium-241. New technology is available now, new combined multi detectors including combined heat and optical smoke detectors including carbon monoxide detectors are excellent at detecting fires. To most fire types combined alarms now typically respond faster than the old ionisation equivalent alarm the photoelectric detector. The cheapest mains powered alternative to an ionisation detector is the Aico Ei146E (requires a RadioLINK base for interconnectivity) by far our best selling optical smoke alarm, if you have a larger budget and for greater peace of mind have a look at our range of combined detectors.
