Hello


I the above setup with wireless smoke detectors. To be in code in my town apparently I need to have a setup whereby if one smoke detector sounds all smoke detectors sound. The smoke detectors that I have are DSC 4916 but I can't figure out if I can have them all sound when one detects smoke/heat.

Apparently I need the same functionality for my hardwired CO2 setup. I think I may have just spent a fortune without realizing that it won't satisfy the local code requirements. I called an alarm guy I know and he seemed as confused as the city...seems a though this is causing some frustration in the alarm industry.

Has anyone got any insights.

Thanks

No, the 4916 smoke doesn't have any means of interlinking the sounders. The best you can do is have the system sound the primary alarm horn in a fire temporal pattern.
