A properly designed early warning fire system ensures the alarm is given before the escape routes become blocked with smoke.

13425-R1-12V COMMON-UC 29/9/09 7:56 AM Page 4 Single Storey Dwelling If the Home is on one level (a bungalow or mobile home for example) you should put the first Smoke Alarm in a corridor or hallway between the sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to the living area as possible, but make sure you can hear it loudly enough to wake a person in the bedrooms.

If a Smoke Alarm is too far away for it to wake a person, it is best to interconnect it to another Smoke Alarm or Heat Alarm near the bedroom. The following alarms Ei100R3, 105R3, 105R4 & 103R can be interconnected - when one alarm senses smoke, all interconnected alarms respond (see below for further details).

Interconnecting Smoke Alarms and Heat Alarms When a fire is sensed the alarm must be given throughout the house. Up to twelve (12) Smoke Alarms (models Ei100R3, Ei105R3 & Ei105R4 only) and Heat Alarms (model Ei103R only) can be interconnected so that when one senses fire all alarm.

The Smoke/Heat Alarm horn should sound within 10 seconds and the relay contacts should change over about 4 seconds after the horn sounds. All interconnected alarms should sound within 10 seconds.
If you experience persistant nuisance alarms with the Ei100R3 Ionisation alarm due to cooking fumes you could consider replacing it with an Optical Alarm (Ei105R3 or Ei105R4) as they are significantly less susceptible to cooking fumes.
• Smoke / Heat Alarms are not a substitute for insurance. The supplier or manufacturer is not your insurer. • The chamber inside the Ionisation (Ei100R3) Smoke Alarm contains a small amount of radioactive material (33kBq of Americium 241). Do not tamper with the chamber. You may safely install and clean the Smoke Alarm following this leaflet’s instructions.
