Brooks Australia Smoke Alarms
Only working smoke alarms save lives, but what about those who are deaf or hard of hearing? They cannot depend on the sound of a regular alarm to alert them, so need an effective alternative. Brooks fire alarms are specifically designed for this group.
At Hear For Less, we have done the hard work and carefully bundled all of the Brooks devices together, ensuring they can talk to each other. Whether you have a 2 story house or a smaller property, the installer only needs to make sure that each device is in range upon setup.
So, how exactly do Brooks smoke alarms work?
In the event of a fire, as well as sounding an audible warning, the alarm will activate a high-intensity strobe light and a vibrating pad located beneath the sleeper’s pillow, quickly alerting them of the danger. This can be interconnected with conventional audible alarms in different locations within the home. If one alarm senses smoke, all alarms will sound, the strobe will flash, and the vibrating pad will vibrate.
The system can be used with photoelectric alarms, utilising Brooks’ high-quality detection technology. Up to 11 other devices may be interconnected, along with the aforementioned strobe lights to offer a complete warning system throughout the property.
Key benefits of Brooks fire alarms
