Locations To Avoid - Ei Electronics Ei2110e Series Instruction Manual

DON'T place Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms in any of the following areas:
• Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the Alarm may be triggered by
steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes. Keep at least 6 metres away from sources of normal
smoke/fumes.
DON'T place Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms in any of the following areas:
• Places where the normal temperature can exceed 40°C or be below 4°C (e.g. attics, furnace
rooms, directly above ovens or kettles etc.) as the heat/steam could cause nuisance alarms.
• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window moulding etc., that may prevent smoke or
heat from entering the Alarm.
• Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room (e.g. attic hatches).
Temperature differences might stop smoke or heat from reaching the Alarm.
• Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents, windows, wall vents etc. that can
change the direction of airflow and cause rapid temperature fluctuations.
• In very high or awkward areas (e.g. over stairwells) where it may be difficult to reach the Alarm
(for testing, hushing etc.).
• Locate away from very dusty or dirty areas as dust build-up in the optical sensor chamber can
impair performance. It can also block the insect screen mesh and prevent smoke from entering
the chamber.
• Locate the Alarm at least 1m from dimmer controlled lights and wiring as some dimmers can
cause interference.
• Locate the Alarm at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m away from fluorescent light fittings
as electrical "noise" and/or flickering may affect the Alarm. Do not wire into the same circuit as
fluorescent lights or dimmers.
