Radiolink + Troubleshooting - Ei Electronics Ei600 Series Instructions Manual

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. When there is an alarm, an icon on the Ei450 Alarm Controller
shows if it is a Fire or CO incident and can be remotely controlled accordingly.

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.
If, when checking the RadioLINK + interconnection, some of the Alarms do not
respond to the button test, then you will need to either:
(i) Position another RadioLINK + Alarm to act as a 'repeater' between the Alarms
which are not communicating and so shorten the path and/or by-pass an obstacle
which is blocking the signal. When the new Alarm is fitted, House Code all Alarms
again, as described above.
(ii) rotate / re-locate the Alarms (e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or wiring).
After making these changes to the RF signal path, the RadioLINK + signals may still
not be reaching all the Alarms in your system, even though they have already been
House Coded successfully. (see Section on "Limitations of Radio Communications").
