They sell a relay for the system that can signal a remote horn,but that works with 120 volt power.

So by another small relay with a 120 volt coil and wire the 'alarm guys' points to that.

Also, the smokes are wired with 14-3 romex and I've been told that the "Alarm Guys" smoke detectors must be wired with fire alarm rated wiring,(16-2 red wire)so I guess that my wiring is unsuitable for thier system

They do not know what they are talking about, you can not wire these 120 volt smokes with 16 AWG wire.
