Alarm Selector

Our simple to use Alarm Selector helps you to find out which smoke, heat or Carbon Monoxide alarms you should install and where in a typical example property they should be fitted.

01

Which household dangers would you like to detect?

By selecting the Fire or Carbon Monoxide only options, the Alarm Selector will produce an Alarm System that only contains these alarms. If you would like more information about why you need a Fire or Carbon Monoxide alarm visit our Standards and Regulations pages.

02

Choose what level of Fire detection you would like?

  • LD1 provides a high level of coverage & will install alarms in every room where a fire could start
  • LD2 provides a medium level of coverage & will install alarms covering escape routes & high risk areas
  • LD3 provides a minimum level of coverage & will install alarms covering escape routes
  • *For full details visit our Standards and Regulations pages
  • In Scotland and Northern Ireland, your minimum level of protection is LD2.
03

Choose what level of Carbon Monoxide detection you would like?

  • Basic coverage will install alarms in rooms where fuel burning appliances are fitted
  • High coverage will install alarms in rooms where fuel burning appliances are fitted and rooms that arecommonly occupied (such as the living room or bedrooms) or that have flues running along sides them
  • The British Standard BS EN 50292:2013 recommends a high level of coverage
  • *For full details visit our Standards and Regulations pages
04

Select a Property Type.

We are only including the most common property types within this Alarm Selector. If you have a different type of property, please contact our Technical Department on +44 (0) 1527 515 150 or email [email protected] who will be able to advise you.

05

Does the property have a habitable loft conversion?

If you would like more clarification on the definition of a habitable loft conversion as defined by the British Standards or Regulations, please contact our Technical Department on +44 (0) 1527 515 150 or email [email protected] who will be able to advise you.

06

Does the property have a garage attached to the main building?

A garage often forms part of a property's escape route meaning that it requires fire detection coverage. If you would like more clarification on the British Standards or Regulations, please contact our Technical Department on +44 (0) 1527 515 150 or email [email protected] who will be able to advise you.

07

How would you like your alarms to be interconnected together?

  • The British Standard BS 5839-6:2019 and building regulations recommend that all alarms within a property are interlinked
  • Alarm interconnection helps to increase the speed occupants are made aware of a danger
  • Wireless interconnection with SmartLINK also allows for data extraction and extra functionality
  • *For more information on Interconnection visit our website
08

Would you like to add an Alarm Control switch into the system for easy alarm testing?

  • The British Standard BS 5839-6:2019 and building regulations recommend installing an alarm controller as part of a fire alarm system
  • Espire also recommend fitting a controller if the alarm system contains Fire, Heat and Carbon Monoxide alarms
  • *If you would like to know more about how an alarm controller makes alarm testing, silencing and locating easier visit our web page on Alarm Interconnection.
