RadioLINK plug-in module (This module must be purchased separately). Models Ei650W and Ei650iW can be wirelessly interconnected by adding the RadioLINK plug-in module (This module must be purchased separately). Models Ei650 and Ei650i are stand alone Smoke Alarms and cannot be interconnected by either hardwire or RadioLink modules. - Page 7 Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the most likely sources of fire (living room for example), but it should not be more than 7.5 metres from the door to any room where a fire may start and block your escape from the house.
- Page 8 Recommended Protection Fire authorities recommend you put individual Smoke Alarms in or near all rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid e.g kitchens & bathrooms - see Section 3). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to start at night, followed by the kitchen (where a Heat Alarm is recommended) and then the dining room.

- Page 10 (see Figure 3). Additionally, mount the alarm at least 300mm from any light fitting or decorative object which might prevent smoke entering the Smoke Alarm. We do not recommend wall mounting of Smoke Alarms. On a Sloping Ceiling With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke Alarm within 600mm of the peak (measured vertically).

Page 11: Locations To Avoid
Locations to avoid DON’T place Smoke Alarms in any of the following areas: • Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the smoke alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes. Keep at least 6 metres away from sources of normal smoke/fumes. •... -

• Locate alarm at least 1.5m and route any interconnectedwiring at least 1m away from fluorescent light fittings as electrical “noise” and/or flickering may affect the Alarm. 3. Installation Installation Procedure 1. Select a location complying with the advice in Section 2. 2. - Page 13 picking a part of the building, say the front wall of the building and then installing all mounting plates in the same orientation with respect to this (see figure 6). 6.

- Page 14 Install all the other Smoke Alarms similarly. Tamperproofing the Smoke Alarms The Alarm can be made tamperproof to prevent unauthorised removal. Break off the small pillar on the base as shown in figure 8a. To remove the Alarm from the ceiling it is now necessary to use a small screwdriver.
- Page 15 If necessary, it is possible to further secure the Alarm by using a No.2 or No.4 (2 to 3 mm diameter - not supplied) self tapping screw 6 to 8mm long (see figure 8d), to firmly lock the Alarm and its mounting plate together (see figure 8c). First, attach the Alarm to the mounting plate.

Page 16: Interconnection - Hard Wired
4. Interconnection - Hard Wired A combined maximum of 12 Smoke Alarms and/or Heat Alarms may be wired together such that when one Alarm senses fire all other Alarms sound a warning - (see Table 1 for the Smoke Alarms with the hardwired interconnect option). This helps ensure the alarm will be heard throughout the property. - Page 17 making it insensitive. It is essential that all such ceiling openings be closed with silicone sealant or similar. 1. Run the two core cable to the Alarm locations. 2. Bring the cable through the opening in the mounting plate (before screwing it to the ceiling) see figure 9b.

6. Twist the Alarm clockwise on to the mounting plate to lock in place. Install and connect all the other Alarms similarly. Now test the first Alarm by pressing and holding the Test button (this may take up to 5 seconds). The red indicator light will flash about once every 0.5 seconds and all Alarms should sound (note: when the test button is released the local Smoke Alarm will stop sounding but the interconnected Alarms will continue to sound for a further 3 seconds. - Page 19 - If they are interconnected using RadioLINK modules, hold down the Test button until the green light on the cover of the Alarm illuminates. Check that all other Alarms sound. - Release the Test button. The Alarm and all connected Alarms should stop sounding.
- Page 20 If you installed Smoke Alarms with RadioLINK modules and did not House Code them, you may be receiving alarm signals from a neighbouring system. This can be easy rectified by “House Coding” your Alarms - see the ‘RadioLINK Module Booklet’. 1.
- Page 21 Ei650, Ei650C & Ei650W models: If the chamber is degraded it will beep once every 32 seconds. (See indicator summary in section 12). Ei650i, Ei650iC & Ei650iW models: If the chamber is degraded it will beep once every 32 seconds coinciding with a yellow flash (See indicator summary in section 12).
- Page 22 The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in the construction of Ei Electronics Alarms to minimise the effects of contamination. However it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up.

- Page 33 Table 3 Ei650i Indicators explained 12.1. Normal Operation 12.1.1. Power Up Twist the Alarm onto the base to power up, the red LED will flash once followed by one flash of the yellow LED to indicate that the Alarm has been powered successfully and is now in standby mode.
- Page 34 12.1.5. Silence False / Nuisance alarm Occasionally Smoke Alarms can be activated by phenomena other than fire, e.g. dust, insects, cooking fumes. Once you are sure it is a nuisance alarm press the large test button to silence the alarm for 10 minutes – the red LED will then flash every 8 seconds for 10 minutes.
- Page 35 If it is not convenient to replace the Alarm immediately, then press the test button to silence the low battery beeps and stop the red LED flashing for 12 hours. This can be repeated as required. 12.2.2. Contaminated chamber If the Alarm sounds without any apparent smoke being present, press the test button to silence the Alarm for 10 minutes (as described in 12.1.5 above).
- Page 36 12.2.3. Faulty smoke chamber In the unlikely event of the smoke sensing chamber becoming defective, the Alarm will give 2 short beeps with 2 yellow LED flashes every 32 seconds. The Alarm must then be replaced. If it is not convenient to replace it immediately, pressing the test button will silence the beeps and stop the yellow LED flashing for 12 hours.
- Page 37 12.3.2. Alarm Memory function If there has been an alarm condition in the last 24 hours the red LED will flash twice every 16 seconds. An alarm condition outside of the previous 24 hours can be checked by pressing and holding the test button, the red LED will flash every 0.5 seconds and the sounder will chirp rapidly.
