Handyfacts will cover all the key information needed when fitting fire, smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms.
The new App features direct links from the contents page to relevant sections, an email enquiry facility and a link to Aico's new website.
It also covers which alarm types to use in different areas of a property, explains siting requirements with clear diagrams and also gives details on wiring and accessories.
Additionally, it shows the available options when it comes to alarm interconnection, including both hard-wiring and Aico's own RadioLINK Professional system, which uses Radio Frequency, signals to link alarms. RadioLINK Professional has the advantage that it requires far less cabling than a hard-wired system and so reduces the installation time, cost and disruption.

Product Manager at Aico, Michael Wright, commented: "Aico has always been highly regarded for the quality of its support material, providing advice on best practice for installation or specification led issues. Traditionally this information has been imparted in print, but with more contractors now using electronic mediums to source information than ever before, we have committed to offering customers a real choice in how they access information. This has led to a new website with some clever, yet easy to use, tools such as a specification selector, as well as the new iPhone App. In the first two days alone we had 100 downloads of the App, which is very encouraging and shows there is a genuine demand out there. We've designed our App to be useful tool for anyone involved in installing fire or CO alarms and we hope it will remind people on site of best practice."
The new Handyfacts Apps is available from the iTunes store free of charge.
