Cleaning Your Alarm - Ei Electronics Ei2110e Series Instruction Manual

(i) Check that the green mains power light is on. If it is off the Alarm is not receiving mains
power and is being powered from its internal back-up cells. The beeps indicate that these cells
are depleted. The cells are not replaceable. Check fuses, circuit breakers and wiring to
determine the cause of the interruption to the mains power supply. If in doubt contact a
qualified electrician. Once mains power is reinstated, the beeps should cease within 2 hours
as the cells charge up. Fully charged, the cells will provide up to 2 months back-up without
mains power.
(ii) If the Alarm beeps twice with 2 amber light flashes at the same time it indicates a problem
with the smoke sensor or the heat sensor - see "GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED" section.
If all of the above possible causes of beeps have been ruled out, but the beeping has still
persisted for over 2 hours with the green light on, there may be some other problem with the
Alarm. The Alarm must be returned for repair or replacement - see "GETTING YOUR ALARM
SERVICED" section.
The entire Alarm must be replaced if it is over 10 years old (see "replace by" date on
the label on the side of the Alarm).

6. CLEANING YOUR ALARM

WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect the AC mains power at the fuse box or
circuit breaker powering the Alarm before following the cleaning instructions.
Clean your Alarm regularly. In dusty areas it may be necessary to clean the Alarm more
frequently. Use the narrow nozzle attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust,
insects and cobwebs from the sides and cover slots where the smoke/heat enters. To clean
the cover, wipe with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly with a lint free cloth.
WARNING: Do not paint your Alarm.
