Cost Effective Retrofit & Remodel Solutions
No matter what your renovation project,
First Alert OneLink provides a cost effective solution:
Home Addition Projects:
Using the First Alert OneLink hardwired "Bridge Unit" (SA520B), simply replace one
hardwired alarm in the existing section and add one to the new section. Wireless
technology saves time, material and labor to connect to the existing alarm circuit.
Now add standard BRK hardwired alarms as required in the new section and other
First Alert OneLink battery alarms in the old section to complete the alarm safety
system and bring entire home up to code. All alarms, hardwired and battery,
existing and new are now interconnected.
Retrofit Projects:
Property Owners, Facility Managers and Electrical Contractors can all benefit from
installing First Alert OneLink alarms for existing retrofit projects. Saving $150 - $200**
per alarm and increasing job turnaround 4X are key reasons to consider First Alert
OneLink alarms for all of your renovation projects.
When it comes to alarm renovation and retrofit projects, choices have been
limited. Installing battery operated alarms and sacrificing interconnectability
or investing in the time and labor to retrofit hardwired alarms have been the
only options available.* Until Now! First Alert OneLink eliminates the need to
pull wires through existing walls saving time, money and labor.

WITH LOCATION WITH LOCATION
First Alert OneLink alarms operate on a "mesh network"; a
2-way communication format that sends, receives and then
re-sends the alarm signals. If the initiating alarm signal is
blocked from reaching one of the alarms, the mesh network
communication reroutes and re-sends the signal via the other
alarms as shown in the illustration. With competitive one-way
wireless communication, only the initiating alarm sends a
signal which may never be received, leaving the blocked alarm
deadly silent
