FireAngel, a UK manufacturer of smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms, has introduced its new Spec+ range of mains-powered fire and carbon monoxide alarms for the UK residential market.
Designed for professional installers, the range includes smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, and multi-sensor alarms. All models are classified as Grade D1 under BS 5839-6 and feature a sealed rechargeable lithium back-up battery with a 10-year design life.
The company says the range has been developed to support straightforward installation and replacement across a variety of residential applications, including housing, new-build developments, and rental properties.
The Spec+ range includes smoke and heat alarms, alongside multi-sensor devices that combine smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detection within a single unit.
FireAngel says the smoke alarms incorporate its Thermoptek and UltraSense sensing technologies, while additional features, including bug mesh and dust compensation, are designed to reduce contamination and minimise unwanted alarms over the product’s lifetime.
All models include Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity as standard, allowing up to 50 Spec+ alarms to be interconnected wirelessly, through hardwiring, or using a combination of both methods without requiring additional modules.
New range designed for professional installations
The Spec+ range complies with relevant product standards, including BS EN 14604, BS 5446-2, and EN 50291-1, depending on the alarm type. FireAngel says each alarm is individually tested during manufacture and carries third-party certification from SGS.
The company recommends replacing smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms after 10 years, in line with their typical operational lifespan. All core products in the Spec+ range are thus supplied with a 10-year warranty.
Nick Rutter, Chief Executive Officer of FireAngel, comments, “Our new Spec+ range represents a significant product portfolio for FireAngel that will enable a step-change for the future of domestic safety.
