Last time I checked, they do not. But my level of knowledge might be out of date, as I was unware that you can now fit RF inserts straight into the alarm module, and keep the old wired base. in that case yes no need to change base! Well thought-out Aico.

Yes, but assuming this is correct (I think it is) ....
.. the only difference would seem to be that the 'add-on module' has to be installed in the alarm for Fireangel and in the base for Aico?
That rather surprises me - are you sure? After all, the wireless ones were probably just 'hardwired' ones which have been upgraded with a wireless facility?
In any event, if I understand correctly, the most recent Aico products (3000 series) 'come' as hardwire-able ones, but with the option to buy and add a Ei3000MRF wireless module if one wants wireless interconnectivity.

Another for Aico. I work in social housing and rate them. Seen others that just seem cheap and nasty crap. We use mainly hard wired, but do have the 650i and have seen the Aico 650iRF which you can fit the RF module. We have had some alarms that have been activated by an unknown means, but I was told by my manager that Aico are that confident in their product that they want the old alarm back if faulty.
Read my post again maybe , I know you don’t like to be wrong
What is it that you think I wrote "wrongly"?
As for not liking to be wrong, I quite often manage to do that,and acknowledge the fact and apologise if I am corrected. It is others here who have rigid beliefs/views which they will never accept are, or may be, wrong.
That is exactly how it works.
Any 3000 series can have wireless added by plugging the tiny module into the back of it.
Any of them can be hardwire linked to any other.
Entirely possible to have a mix of wired and wireless interconnects in the same installation.
The wireless option provides some features and connectivity to devices which the hardwired link does not.
The new Aico can communicate via an app and tell you all the instances of activation and resetting of the dust thing - or something. It sends "chirps" to your phone that translates to data that you can see on your phone.

Yes I know, I have the app.
Talking of Aico products, I've just noticed the rather 'interesting' below that came with a recently purchased item. I suppose that any number of manufacturers of electronic equipment could issue similar 'warnings', but it seems very rare that any of them do.
AudioLINK has been around for many years (originally only on the CO detectors). AudioLINK+ is much newer.
I wonder why this is not common knowledge
It's certainly not going to be 'common knowledge' amongst the general public, since I presume that a very high proportion of them probably have no idea what "true sine wave" or "harmonic distortion" mean.
However, given that many of those with PV systems export some of their solar-generated electricity to the grid (when 'anyone' could end up with some of it), I can but presume that the inverters used are required to produce an acceptable waveform.
