Brunata Minol smoke detectors can be combined with the "alarmo" wireless alarm monitor from HUMANTECHNIK, thus offering reliable alerting via light or vibration signal to people with hearing impairments. For landlords, this provides a simple, standards-compliant, and cost-effective solution for barrier-free fire protection.
Why barrier-free fire protection is important
Smoke detectors are legally required – but standard devices are often inaudible to hearing-impaired people in an emergency. To offer these tenants or owners the same protection, technical solutions are needed that provide alternative alarm signals.
How does a smoke detector work for the hearing impaired?
The combination of Brunata Minol smoke detectors and the wireless alarm monitor "alarmo" by HUMANTECHNIK This makes it possible:
- The wireless alarm monitor detects typical warning tones from smoke detectors in the vicinity.
- The signal is analyzed and filtered to avoid false alarms – for example from televisions or sirens outside.
- If an alarm is confirmed, a radio signal is sent to receiving devices such as vibration pads or flashing light modules.
- This way, deaf people or people with severe hearing impairments can also be warned in time.

What should landlords pay attention to?
- Note the range: The monitor should be located near the smoke detector, e.g. on the shelf below.
- No obligation to purchase special equipment:
By law, landlords are only required to install smoke detectors that comply with DIN EN 14604. - Cost coverage:
The additional costs for extra alarm systems may be covered by health or long-term care insurance. Tenants should clarify this directly with their insurance provider.
What does the state building code say?
An example from Baden-Württemberg (§ 15, para. 7): Smoke detectors are mandatory in all bedrooms and associated escape routes. The responsibility for ensuring they are operational lies with the residents – unless the owner expressly assumes this responsibility.
