Note:
NZ Building Code - Smoke Alarm Requirements.
From November 2023 the Building Code Acceptable Solutions for Protection from Fire (C/AS1 and C/AS2) will be amended to make interconnected smoke alarms the minimum fire safety system for new built homes and substantial renovations, citing NZS 4514:2021 - Interconnected smoke alarms for Houses. The standard allows for wirelessly or hard-wired interconnection, using either 10 year long-life battery-powered or 240v mains powered alarms. The changes will have a 12-month transition period ending in November 2024.
This standard is available free here. https://www.standards.govt.nz/shop/nzs-45142021/
Clean Design
The smoke alarm’s smooth, clean appearance has been designed to blend in with the ceiling as much as possible.
The user can easily identify the ‘hush’ button with its subtle shadow line.
240v Mains
Powered
The smoke alarm is mains powered and must be installed by a licensed electrician. It also includes a replaceable lithium battery for back-up in the event of temporary power disruptions.
The Lithium Battery is designed to last the maximum installed time of the smoke alarm when permanently connected to 240V mains supply.*
Bug Free Mesh
The smoke detector includes an internal ‘bug free mesh’ to reduce false triggering caused by insects and other foreign objects.
Wireless
Module
The alarm can be inter-connected to other Voltex 01 smoke alarms via a hardwired connection or using the wireless module *accessory which simply plugs into the rear of the alarm. Voltex 240V and battery-operated smoke alarms SAS115BW can be inter-connected.
Retrofit
An adaptor plate accessory is available to ensure an easy and clean alarm installation when replacing a faulty or out of date alarm with a Voltex 240V smoke alarm.
Remember, it’s mandatory to replace smoke alarms when they reach the 10-year mark, so you're doing your customers a favour by checking their smoke alarms.
