Troubleshooting - Ei Electronics Ei160e Series Instruction Manual

Do not interfere with the Alarm or attempt to tamper with
it. This will invalidate the guarantee, but more importantly
may expose the user to shock or fire hazards.
This guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights as
a consumer.

Troubleshooting

1. ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON:
(1) Identify the alarm source. On interconnected units,
the red light on the cover will flash rapidly only on the unit
which is the source of the alarm. If an optional Ei1529RC
Control Switch or an Ei450 Alarm Controller is installed,
press Locate when the system is sounding to identify
source of alarm.
(2) Check for fumes, steam etc. from the kitchen or
bathroom. Paint and other fumes can cause nuisance/
false alarms.
(3) Press the test/silence button to silence the Smoke/
Heat Alarm for 10 minutes.
(4) If alarm does not stop, switch off mains and remove
unit - see "Important Information" section. (Only remove
the alarm with the red light flashing, the others are
probably satisfactory).
2. LOW BATTERY & OTHER BEEPS:
Check the green mains power light is on. If not, check
fuse, circuit breakers and wiring connections. If the
green light is off, the Lithium cells will deplete after some
months without mains and will need to be recharged. If
turning on the mains fails to stop the beeps, a fault may
exist. Switch off mains and remove the unit.
(1) If the green mains light is on and recharging the
Lithium cells or cleaning the unit has not stopped the
beeps, a fault may exist. Disconnect the mains first and
replace the unit - see "ALARM REMOVAL" diagrams in
the Installer Section.
(2) If the Ei166e beeps without the red light flashing
at the same time, the chamber is defective. Clean the
chamber.
3. INTERCONNECTED ALARMS DO NOT ALL
SOUND:
(1) Hold test button for 10 seconds after first alarm has
sounded to ensure signal is transmitted to all units.
(2) One or more of the connections may not be correctly
connected. We recommend you consult a qualified
electrician.
