Location & Positioning - Ei Electronics Ei600 Series Instructions Manual

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.
Models Ei605C/Ei603C/Ei605TYC & Ei603TYC can be interconnected with hard
wiring to give the loudest alarm sound level throughout the house.
All models (except Ei605 & Ei605TY) can be interconnected using the RadioLINK
plug-in modules (These modules must be purchased separately when they are not
supplied with the Alarm (see Table 1)).
Note: Certain alarms may be supplied (on request) with the appropriate RF module
fitted.
SMOKE ALARMS - Ei605 Series
Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will respond. Your Smoke
Alarm needs to be within 7.5 metres of the fire to respond quickly. Smoke Alarms
also need to be in positions where they can be heard throughout the property, so
they can wake you and your family in time for everyone to escape. A single Smoke
Alarm will give some protection if it is properly installed, but most homes will require
two or more (preferably interconnected) to ensure that a reliable early warning is
given. For recommended protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in
all rooms (apart from kitchen and bathroom) where fire is most likely to break out.
