    2. CARBON MONOXIDE - THE SILENT KILLERS 2.1 WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE ? Congratulations on becoming the owner of an Ei Carbon Monoxide Alarm. This will help protect you and your household from the dangerous effects of Carbon Monoxide - The Silent Killer. Many are killed each year, and many more suffer ill health from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning (CO is the chemical symbol, indicating the molecule has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom).
  • Page 6 Many cases of reported Carbon Monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disorientated they are unable to save themselves by either leaving the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected. Table A: Effects of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Concentration of CO in Air...
  • Page 7 2.3 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR CO ALARM DETECTS CARBON MONOXIDE ? When the Ei262 CO Alarm detects potentally dangerous levels of CO, it flashes the red alarm light and then sounds a loud alarm if the CO persists and transmits a RadioLINK alarm signal.
  • Page 8 NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM. Pre-Alarm: When the alarm detects over 50ppm CO the red light flashes every 2 seconds. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit gives a visable indication straight away (the horn will not sound unless the 50ppm of CO remains for at least 90 mins).

    3. ALARM POSITIONING 3.1 IDEALLY A CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALARM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN: - Every room containing a fuel burning appliance - Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time - Every bedroom However if the number of CO Alarms is limited, the following points should be considered when deciding where best to fit the alarm(s) - If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, place a CO Alarm in this room - Locate a CO Alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-flued appliance...

Do not use the Alarm on an intermittent basis, or as a portable detector for the leakage of combustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys.
  • Page 15 We strongly recommend that you check for the following before connecting the alarm: • check for Live and Neutral using a two probe tester. • check for Live using a neon tester. • check that the Interconnect is NOT connected to Live, Neutral or Earth. Do not connect an Earth wire to the Interconnect.

    4.2 RadioLINK Interconnection The Ei262 will transmit a RadioLINK alarm signal when it detects potentially dangerous levels of CO. This RadioLINK Alarm signal can be used to: 1. Wirelessly interconnect to other Ei Electronics RadioLINK Smoke/Heat Alarm devices (e.g.
  • Page 18 4. Check that the Ei262 is House Coded to all the other RadioLINK devices in the property by counting the number of times the red light flashes (alternating with the green) every 5 (or 10) seconds. For example, with just the Ei262 on its own in the “system” it will give one red light flash every 5 seconds,...
  • Page 19 House Code mode reduces the risk of accidentally House Coding your RadioLINK units with nearby systems). 6. Check the communications by pressing the Test/Hush button on the Ei262 for up to 10 seconds. The alarm will sound and then pause briefly while the RadioLINK signal is transmitted. The green power light will turn red for this duration (approx 3.5 seconds).

    (Note: If it is necessary to clear House Codes see section 12, page 31 - Technical Specification). The “Repeater” Function All Ei262 CO Alarms are set as “Repeater” units as supplied. The function of a Repeater unit is to receive and then re-transmit the RF signals. This provides multiple signal paths throughout the installation to give improved RF signal reliability (with 3 or more RadioLINK units).
  • Page 21 If a Remote Control Switch is not fitted, find the alarm with its red alarm light flashing rapidly – if it is a Carbon Monoxide Alarm follow the instructions on page 4. If it is a fire, evacuate everybody from the premises, closing all doors as you leave, call the Fire Brigade and follow the other emergency instructions supplied with your Smoke/Heat Alarm.

    distinguish between them in an emergency. Note: When the Test Button is pressed on the CO Alarm the red alarm light does not flash unless the CO memory was activated. If CO Alarms and Smoke/Heat Alarms are interconnected (and are all sounding), press the LOCATE switch on the Ei411H Remote Control Switch to leave just the alarm that has triggered the system sounding.

  • Page 24: Limitations Of Co Alarms

    (1) Remove the alarm from the mounting plate as described previously. (2) Pull out the sensor module from the rear. (3) Replace with a new sensor module (Model No. Ei261MEN - Contact Aico or Ei Electronics, for your nearest module supplier).
  • Page 25 recommend CO Alarms are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas. - The Alarm may not be heard.
  • Page 26 (required by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be considered: (i) Radio equipment, such as the Ei262 CO Alarm, should be tested regularly - at least weekly. This is to determine whether there are sources of interference preventing communication. The radio paths may be disrupted by moving furniture or renovations, and so regular testing will help identify these and other faults, so that they can be rectified.

  • Page 30 Testing with CO : The red alarm light flashes as soon as the Alarm detects CO, so there is no need to retain CO in the Alarm for several minutes until it sounds. Initialisation Time : 70 seconds. On power up red and amber lights flash momentarily to show they are operational.
  • Page 31 Clearing House Codes: The House Codes memorised can be deleted (i.e. the Ei262 can be uncoded) by pressing and holding the House Code switch on for about 6 seconds. The red RadioLINK Indicator light comes on solidly, then flashes rapidly (alternating with the green light if on mains power) and stops.
  • Page 32 CO Alarm Memory: : A unit will indicate if it has been in alarm previously by flashing the red light for 2 seconds every 40 seconds (2 flashes for 50 ppm CO, 4 flashes for 100 ppm CO and 8 flashes, for 300 ppm CO). When the Test/Hush button is pressed, the red light flashes (as per Table B on page 8) to indicate the previous CO alarm level detected.
