Overview
When a smoke alarm sounds at night, people need light to find their way, and others need to know about it. In a large home, an alarm in one room may not be heard in another.
The Loxone Smoke Detector Air is a wireless smoke alarm that sounds its own siren and, at the same time, reports the alarm to the Loxone Miniserver.
What it does
It runs on its own battery and works independently, so it still sounds during a power cut. Because the alarm also reaches the Miniserver, the building can respond: lights can switch on and flash, blinds can open to clear escape routes, and an Audioserver can play an alarm tone. The battery level is reported to the system daily, so a low battery is flagged in good time.
Its connection to the Miniserver is always monitored; because it is a safety device, this monitoring cannot be switched off.
Good to know
This detector supplements a fire alarm system to BS 5839; it does not replace one. Care homes, hotels and other non-domestic buildings need the fire alarm system set out in their fire risk assessment, normally designed to BS 5839-1, and in homes BS 5839-6 and the Building Regulations apply. Follow these for the number and position of detectors.
Mount it on the ceiling, ideally in the centre of the room and at least 50 cm from walls and lights. It is not suitable for kitchens, bathrooms or other humid rooms, or near open fires and wood burners. It is battery powered, so it needs no electrical work, and connects wirelessly to a Miniserver Go or Miniserver Compact, or to a Miniserver with an Air Base Extension. It runs on a 9 V battery (included); Loxone recommends a lithium battery as a replacement and a check with the test button once a year.
You can order it here. If you prefer, The Automation House can also advise on it, plan it and supply it as part of a complete solution, with installation and aftercare arranged through our installation partner.
