  • Page 39: Introduction

    Ei200MRF RadioLINK Module, but now with added features. The primary function of the Ei200MRF is to interconnect all Ei Electronics Alarms in a system by the means of an RF signal i.e. when one Alarm senses Carbon Monoxide (CO), the Ei200MRF module fitted to the CO Alarm will transmit an RF signal that will activate the sounders in all the other Alarms in the system.

  • Page 40: Installation And House Coding

    Installation and House Coding To fit the Ei200MRF module, plug it into the base of the Alarm while being careful to align the pins and insert the flexible antenna into the antenna hole (See Fig 1). N.B. Ensure that the Ei200MRF is fully inserted. House Coding the Unit Power supply to the Ei200MRF will be Antenna...
  • Page 41 N.B. We recommend, for ease of installation and RF communication, that up to 12 RF devices can be installed in any one RF coded system. Please contact us for further advise if additional RF devices are required. You can exit this mode by pressing the House Code button on one of the RF Alarms. Keep the button pressed until the blue light comes on solid and then release.

  • Page 42: Additional Features

    Additional Features The Ei200MRF RadioLINK + Module provides additional features not available with Ei Electronics RadioLINK products. The following features will only work with RadioLINK + devices. 1. Remote House Coding (required if you want to add an Alarm to an installed system) 2.
  • Page 43 3. Data Extraction The Ei200MRF RadioLINK+ Module allows for the extraction of information from an Ei Electronics Compatible Alarm, using an Ei Electronics download device. Once the system has been set up, information can be accessed securely from within or outside a property if access is an issue The event log can contain very useful information about any recorded events in the history of the Alarm such as: CO Events, Alarm Head removals, Button Tests, and so on.

  • Page 47: Testing The System

    Testing the System Frequent testing of the system is a requirement to ensure its reliable operation. Guidelines and best practices for testing are as follows: 1. After the system is installed. 2. Regularly (monthly testing is recommended). 3. After prolonged absence from the dwelling (e.g. after holiday period).
  • Page 48 The local Alarm will stop sounding but you will hear the other Alarms still sounding in the distance. Module Battery Check It is important to ensure that the batteries on both the Alarm and the module itself are in full working order. Depending on the Alarm that the Ei200MRF is inserted to, there will be slightly different indicators for low battery on the Alarm itself (see table below).

  • Page 49: Interconnected Carbon Monoxide Alarms & Smoke/Heat Alarms

    Interconnected Carbon Monoxide Alarms & Smoke/Heat Alarms Identifying source of Alarm Ei Electronics Carbon Monoxide Alarms and Smoke/Heat Alarms can be interconnected via RadioLINK or RadioLINK+ so that one device sensing danger will cause all the other Alarms to sound.

  • Page 50: 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 CO/ Smoke/Heat Alarms may have difficulties in communicating to all the other Alarms in the system.
  • Page 51 (Note: The RadioLINK + module can be returned to the original factory settings by pressing and holding the House Code switch until the blue light flashes and then releasing. This will take about 7 seconds. This clears the House Codes that have been learnt).

  • Page 53: Guarantee

    This guarantee excludes incidental and consequential damage. If this RF RadioLINK + Module should become defective within the guarantee period, it must be returned to Ei Electronics, with proof of purchase, carefully packaged, with the problem clearly stated. We shall at our discretion repair or replace the faulty unit.

  • Page 54: Limitations Of Radio Communications

    Limitations of Radio Communications Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be considered: (i) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the House Coding.
