    2. Location & Positioning Introduction Congratulations on purchasing an Ei600 Series Alarm. You can easily install these alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each storey, in corridors & in closed rooms to give warning of fire. The Heat Alarms can be installed in kitchens and other areas where Smoke Alarms are unsuitable.
  • Page 7 Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the most likely sources of fire (living room, kitchen 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 Multi-Storey Dwellings If your home has more than one floor, at least one Alarm should be fitted on each level (see Figure 1). Preferably the units should be interconnected (if feature is present on unit) so as to give sufficient warning throughout the property. RadioLINK plug-in modules are ideal in this situation as the units will then interconnect using Radio Frequency (RF) signals - so no wiring is required.
  • Page 9 Figure 1 For minimum protection - Smoke Alarm on each storey - in each sleeping area Kitchen Bedroom - every 7.5 metres of hallways and Bathroom Living Room rooms - within 3 metres of all bedroom doors - all units interconnected (where Dining Room Bedroom feature is present)
  • Page 10 start at night, followed by the kitchen (where a Heat Alarm is recommended) and then the dining room. Consideration should be given to installing Smoke Alarms in any bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker.
  • Page 11 On a Sloping Ceiling With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke Alarm within 600mm of the peak or a Heat Alarm within 150mm of the peak (measured vertically). If this height is less than 600mm for Smoke Alarms or 150mm for Heat Alarms the ceiling is regarded (see Figure 4).
  • Page 12 detector chamber can cause intermittent alarms. DON’T place Heat Alarms in any of the following areas: steam or condensation. DON’T place Smoke or Heat Alarms in any of the following areas: attics, furnace rooms, directly above ovens or kettles etc.) as the heat/steam could cause nuisance alarms.

    4. Interconnection - Hard Wired A combined maximum of 12 Smoke Alarms and/or Heat Alarms may be wired together such that when one unit senses fire all other units sound a warning - (see Table 1 for the alarms with hardwired interconnect option). This helps ensure the alarm will be heard throughout the property.

    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 a second on the first Alarm and all other Alarms should sound.
  • Page 20 - If they are interconnected using RadioLINK modules, hold down the Test button until the blue 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 23 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 24 In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the alarm to sound. If this happens the Smoke Alarm must be returned for servicing or replacement. Contamination is beyond our control, it is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear. For this reason, contamination is not covered by the guarantee and a charge is made for all such servicing work.

  • Page 48: 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 49 The local Alarm will stop sounding but you will hear the other Alarms still sounding in the distance. All Alarms should be checked in a similar way. Module Battery Check It is important to ensure that the batteries on both the Alarm and the module itself are in full working order.

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

  • Page 51: Radiolink + Troubleshooting

    If it is a Smoke/Heat Alarm, evacuate the residence and follow the instructions in the Smoke/Heat Alarm manual. If it is a Carbon Monoxide Alarm, ventilate the residence and follow the instructions in the Carbon Monoxide Alarm manual. For added convenience we recommend that an Ei450 Alarm Controller is used with these systems.

  • Page 52: Technical Specifications

    It is important to check that all Alarms are communicating in their final installed positions. If Alarms are rotated, have had their antennas extended and/or re-sited, we would recommend that all the Alarms are returned to the factory settings and then House Coded again in their final positions (see above).

  • 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.
  • Page 55 Hereby, Ei Electronics declares that this Ei600MRF RadioLINK + Module is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU.
