Sensor for safety

Aico in action

Cheshire West and Chester Council, colloquially known as ‘CWAC’, has embraced new technologies by recently adopting a revised specification to ensure the safety of its residents. This involves fitting Aico’s flagship Ei3030 multi-sensor alarm across its housing stock on upgrade programmes and where replacements are required.

The combined optical, heat and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm was launched in summer 2023 and is quickly being adopted across social housing due to its reliability and ease of use. With three proven, reliable sensors in one unit to ensure accurate fire and CO detection, the Ei3030 eliminates the need for multiple alarms, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Furthermore, the multi-sensor alarm is equipped with additional features, such as Intelligent Dust Compensation, whilst integrated software allows the sensors to work together for the extraction and monitoring of real-time data to allow for proactive safety measures to be taken.

Additionally, if Cheshire West and Chester Council makes future improvements to its housing portfolio, it would have the ability to easily implement Aico’s HomeLINK technology to monitor issues such as damp and mould, indoor air quality and compliance.

Fitted in Ellesmere Port properties, the multi-sensor alarms were installed by the Liberty Group.
