wireless smokes

[Hendrix]

Has anyone used these in an existing three or four family building and did they comply with local codes?

I have thought about them on occasion. I dont know who sells them and I have never seen one though. I think I tried to get them once nd noone local had them.

I had to use those on a job that was complete but missing some of the required smoke detectors, and they worked just fine. One upstairs one downstairs and they will tie into a hardwired inner connected smokes.
Lowes was able to get them for me.

I suggested wireless for a home day care. They bought several for less than what it was going to cost for me to instal one hardwired unit. State Fire marshal was happy.

A neighboring town will not allow them as local code has not caught up with technology yet.

I just heard that the fire marshal here may have a problem with no AC to each unit. It's the old story about removing the battery for use somewhere else or just removing it to smoke something. In any case, would it be easier to find power for each unit or just interconnect them the old fasion way
