[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 453504, member: 6969"] One would have assumed a different signal on the interconnect. There must be some coding otherwise how will it know which smoke alarm has gone off?, so if there is some coding I don't see why it could not be coded to differentiate. So the customer is stuck with loads of RF bases. Aico have just gone down in my estimation if this is the only way. (I was going to use Aico for my own house but I am ******** if I am going to pay for an RF base for every alarm.) For future referenece (they say every day is a learning day) the lesson from this is wire the smoke and CO detectors each on their own circuit with smokes and CO not connected to each other? So what can I do? Disconnect the interconnect from the CO alarms and fit the hard wired alarm test switch? The only reason for wanting the test switch (there is no building regs reason to fit it) is one smoke alarm is high up on a vaulted ceiling way too high to reach to pres it's button to silence it if it goes off.
