BG launches smoke & heat combo alarm with remote testing – the smart choice for loft and PV installations

Developed with installer convenience and designed for end-user peace of mind, this alarm offers dual detection and advanced functionality through its wireless RF remote capability. Paired with the BG SDMREM Remote (sold separately), users can test and silence alarms remotely eliminating the need to access hard-to-reach areas such as loft spaces. This makes it an ideal solution for modern homes with solar energy systems or limited access zones.

The unit features a sealed-in 10-year lithium backup battery, ensuring protection even during mains power outages, with no battery changes required throughout the product’s life. Designed to be hardwired into the mains supply, the alarm seamlessly interconnects with BG’s full range of smoke, heat, and CO alarms—delivering whole-home fire safety coverage.

Installation is quick and hassle-free, thanks to colour-coded terminals, a pre-fitted dust cover, and clear wiring guidance—making it a favourite among contractors and installers. Fully compliant with BS 5446-2 and EN 14604 standards, and independently tested by TÜV, this alarm delivers certified safety and performance. It’s also backed by a 10-year warranty for total confidence.

For distributors, housebuilders, and trade professionals, BG’s latest addition brings together reliable detection, remote control convenience, and effortless installation—setting a new benchmark in residential fire safety.
