Smoke Detectors are installed at a property to detect and reduce the risk of fires. The Tunstall smoke detector will let out an audible local alarm when it detects smoke, and it will also prompt your LifeConnect24 alarm to contact our response team, just as the pendant does. From here, one of our experienced operators on the response team will contact the emergency services or your emergency contacts - providing you with an immediate response to any fires at your property. You will still be able to communicate with our response team through the base unit of the alarm during this time. To install your Tunstall smoke detector you would simply need to fit a small bracket to the ceiling either with the fixtures provided or with Velcro. Once this is fixed in position, you can clip the smoke detector into the bracket and test it by pressing and holding down the “test” button for three seconds. This will place a call through to our response team who will be happy to handle the rest. If you order your smoke detector at the same time as your Lifeline alarm, the detector will already be linked to your alarm unit. If you order the detector later, it will come with clear and detailed instructions to link it to your current base unit.
