Multi-alarm interlink:-

When more than one alarm is installed within the same building these should be connected together so that if one alarm is activated , all alarms sound.

The normal wiring method for these alarms is 6242Y 1 or 1.5mm (twin & earth) from the power supply, which can be either a dedicated circuit at the consumer unit or a local normally used lighting circuit, to the first alarm position then 6243Y 1 or 1.5mm (3 core & earth) from the first alarm to the second alarm and so on.  The maximum circuit length is 250 metres.  

Alternatively you can use the DS700RF Wireless Interlink Base to replace the interlink.  Please note that when using interlink bases a permanent power supply is still required to each alarm position (using 6242Y 1 or 1.5mm twin & earth cable).
