The R10RF is a photoelectric, wireless interconnected smoke alarm from Red Smoke Alarms, powered by a sealed 10-year lithium battery. It mounts to the ceiling with no mains wiring, links to other Red alarms by RF, and is certified to AS3786:2014 — making the R10RF compliant for use in all Australian homes.
The R10RF is the unit most often specified for retrofits, rentals, and owner-occupied homes where running 240V cable between alarms is impractical. Because it is battery-only, an R10RF can be installed without an electrician — though hardwired R240 and R240RC units in the same property still require licensed installation. The R10RF is fully interoperable with the rest of the Red range over RF.
For sparkies upgrading rental portfolios, the R10RF is the workhorse SKU. It pairs with the RACP wireless controller for tenant-friendly silencing, it talks to the R240 and R240RC hardwired alarms through an RWB2 base, and it carries a 10-year domestic and commercial warranty from a brand supported by a national service network.
For kitchens, laundries, and garages, use the Red RHA10RF wireless heat alarm instead — cooking steam, dust, and vehicle exhaust will trigger nuisance alarms on a photoelectric sensor. The RHA10RF interconnects with the R10RF over the same RF network.

(R10RF)
The R10RF is a wireless photoelectric smoke alarm from Red Smoke Alarms. It features a sealed 10-year lithium battery and is designed to wirelessly interconnect with other compatible Red smoke alarms, creating a full-home safety network.
The R10RF uses radio frequency (RF) technology to wirelessly link to other compatible Red alarms. When one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected units sound together, ensuring maximum coverage and warning across the property.
Up to 40 Red smoke alarms can be wirelessly interconnected in one network. This makes the R10RF suitable for everything from single dwellings to large multi-storey homes.
Yes. The R10RF is AS 3786:2014 certified, RCM compliant, and meets the latest Australian smoke alarm laws, including the Queensland 2022 legislation requiring interconnected photoelectric alarms.
The alarm features a large front button with multiple functions:
Test: Checks the unit’s functionality.
Hush: Temporarily silences nuisance alarms (e.g., cooking smoke).
Locate: Identifies which alarm triggered in an interconnected system.
Alternatively, use the remote optional RAC RF Wireless smoke alarm controller. This unit can be mounted on the wall, making silencing and testing all wireless interconnected smoke alarms very easy. This way, you do not have to get on a ladder or reach up and press the button on the smoke alarm, making it a much safer option.
Turn all R10RF Red smoke alarms on. Next, press and hold the pairing button until the red light turns solid. Then, double-tap the subsequent alarms you want to pair with the master. Follow the instructions in the R10RF Manual for more detailed instructions.
No. The R10RF is battery-only and does not connect to mains, so a homeowner can install it themselves.
However, if the R10RF is being mixed with R240 or R240RC hardwired units in the same property, the hardwired units must be installed by a licensed electrician.
The R10RF uses a sealed, non-removable 10-year lithium battery. The battery cannot be changed — the entire alarm is replaced at the end of its 10-year life.
Yes. The R10RF can connect wirelessly to the R240 and R240RC hardwired alarms, but only when those hardwired alarms are installed with an RWB2 wireless base. The base is what bridges the 240V system to the RF network.
Yes. The RACP wireless smoke alarm controller pairs with the R10RF to give occupants a wall-mounted button for hushing nuisance alarms and identifying which alarm is sounding. The RACP is strongly recommended for rental properties to reduce maintenance call-outs.
The R10RF should be installed on the ceiling, in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms to other parts of the home, and on each storey of the dwelling. For Queensland properties, this is the legislated minimum. Do not install an R10RF in kitchens, laundries, or garages — use an RHA10RF heat alarm in those locations.
The R10RF runs on a sealed 10-year battery only and is wireless-interconnected. The R240 is 240V mains-powered, with a 9V backup, and is hard-wired and interconnected. For new builds and major renovations, the 240V R240 or R240RC is required by the Building Code of Australia. For retrofits, the R10RF is the simpler path.
The R10RF carries a 10-year full parts and labour warranty for both domestic and commercial use, supported by Red Smoke Alarms' national network of service agents. Warranty starts from the invoice date. Faults are handled directly by Red Smoke Alarms — the number is 1300 316 552.
Yes. The R10RF carries the same 10-year warranty for commercial use as it does for domestic use. It is commonly specified in body corporate, strata, and short-stay accommodation upgrades where wireless interconnection avoids cable runs through occupied units.
The R10RF is 140mm in diameter and 39mm high — a standard low-profile surface-mount footprint for indoor ceiling installation.
