  • Page 4: Introduction

    Ei100MRF module attached to that Alarm will transmit an RF signal that will activate the sounders in all other Alarms in the system. The Ei100MRF module is plugged into the rear of the base of an Ei160e or Ei2110e series Alarm. RF communication through this module eliminates the need to install long interconnect wires between all the Alarms on different floors in different rooms.

    Installation and House Coding N.B Disconnect Mains Before Alarm Head Removal After disconnecting the mains power supply, it is now safe to remove the Alarm from its base. Using a screwdriver, insert into the removal slot on the side of the Alarm. Push the lower half of the Alarm away away from the screwdriver, in the direction of the arrow on the cover (see Figure 1 below).
  • Page 6 Fitting the Ei100MRF Module To fit the Ei100MRF Module, first hold the flexible antenna and guide it into its designated hole in the rear of the unit until about 2/3 of its length is inserted (Fig. 2a). Then, hold the module housing (Fig. 2b) & plug it into the Alarm, being careful to align the pins and keeping them perpendicular to the base as the module is inserted (Fig.

  • Page 12 2. Monitoring The Ei100MRF RadioLINK+ Module has the ability to “Monitor” the RF signal path and strength. This is an enhanced self-monitoring function that recognises system tampering or alarm head removal. In monitoring mode each Alarm will check the presence of its strongest received RF signal. If the signal is missing then the Alarm will record a monitoring failure event.

  • Page 16: Testing The System

    To test the RadioLINK + system, press and hold the test button on one of the Alarms. The blue LED from the Ei100MRF will illuminate for approximately 3.5 seconds. Continue to hold the test button until all the Alarms in the system are sounding. This will take between 20 to 45 seconds depending on the number of Alarms and their locations in the system, e.g.

  • Page 18: Radiolink + Troubleshooting

    RadioLINK + Troubleshooting It is important that all Alarms in your system communicate with each other. The number of walls, ceilings and metal objects in the signal path will reduce the strength of the RadioLINK + signals between the Alarms. Accordingly, one or more Smoke/Heat/CO Alarms may have difficulties in communicating to all the other Alarms in the system.
