Kerrier Homes Standardises On Ei Alarms From AICO
Kerrier Homes Trust has now standardised on the Ei160 Series mains powered smoke alarms and Ei261 mains powered Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms from Aico for all their tenant safety requirements.
Ei Smoke Alarms Quick And Simple To Install
The Ei140 and 160 Series of mains powered smoke alarms are, according to exclusive UK distributor Aico, the quickest and simplest alarms to install thanks to their patented 'Easi-Fit' designs.
Without detection, CO poisoning can be a silent, tasteless, odourless killer.
Landlords in both the private and public sectors, who are responsible for ensuring the safety of tenants from CO poisoning, will find the section on the many and varied causes of CO poisoning very enlightening and enable them to recognise potential hazards in their properties.
In fact, two million complaints about CO fumes were recorded over a five year period, indicating both the widespread problem and the need for adequate protection.
A guide to symptoms - which are rarely recognised even by GPs - provides information that is vital in order to understand and recognise tenant concerns.
Specifiers and installers will find the in-depth technical information in the Aico FAQ guidebook extremely useful.
It explains the different types of CO detection technology utilised, how to chose the optimum site for an alarm, how many alarms to fit and covers other issues including interconnection, compliance with BS EN50291: 2001 and testing and servicing.
Both mains and battery units are featured.
