A four storey Victorian building in Glasgow used a wireless fire detection system by Aico to have its fire detection coverage significantly increased. The nature of the RadioLINK interconnect system ensured that none of the decor would be destroyed during installation. Twelve new wireless alarms were added to bedrooms and living areas. Fraser Sergeant, Managing Director of AFS said: "We were even able to make use of the existing seven alarms by swapping their bases from conventional hard-wired interconnect units to RF wireless bases. We then coded all the alarms - new and old - into one cohesive system, in just three hours".
