230V~ SMOKE & HEAT ALARMS
Introduction to EIB160e
Smoke/Heat Alarms
The EIB160e series is supplied with an Easi-Fit base that
allows very quick and simple installation of the Smoke
Alarm, combined with simple detector head removal
and replacement. The Easi-Fit base automatically
connects both mains power and battery as the detector
head slides on to the Easi-Fit base.
Up to 12 Smoke/Heat Alarms can be interconnected
so that when one senses fire all the units alarm. (More
Alarms can be interconnected. Please contact your
local distributor for more information.)
Interconnection can be achieved by hardwire or through
a modular RF module, the EIB100MRF, which can be
inserted into the base of the Alarm.
A green LED indicates the presence of mains power. A
red LED will flash rapidly in an alarm scenario.
The Smoke/Heat Alarms feature a large combined test/
hush button.
The "Test/Hush" button will either silence false alarms
or perform a unit self-test.
In "Test" mode the Alarm will perform a self-test and
sound the horn.
In "Hush" mode the Alarm will be silenced for a period
of approximately ten minutes to overcome false alarm
conditions. It will then automatically reset itself.

RF Interconnection The EIB160e series may be interconnected with any other RadioLINK or RadioLINK products through inserting the EIB100MRF RadioLINK Module.

Page 4: Silence Feature
Cleaning WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect the AC mains at the fuse box or circuit breaker powering the Alarm before following the cleaning instructions. Clean your Alarm regularly, particularly in dusty areas. Use the narrow nozzle attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust, insects and cobwebs from the sides and cover slots where the smoke or heat enters. - Page 5 The unit will flash the red light every 10 seconds (instead of the normal 40 seconds) to indicate the sensitivity is reduced. On interconnected Alarms, pressing the Test/Silence Button on the one sensing smoke (i.e. the one with the red light flashing every second) will silence all Alarms. Pressing the Test/Silence Button on any other Alarm will not silence the Alarms in the system.

Page 12: Positioning Alarms
Positioning Alarms he locations must comply with applicable building regulations. Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the preferred location. The air is “dead” and does not move in corners, therefore Smoke & Heat Alarms must be mounted away from corners. -
Page 13: Installation
• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window moulding etc., that may prevent smoke or heat from entering the Alarm. • Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room (e.g. attic hatches). Temperature differences might stop smoke or heat from reaching the unit. -
Page 14: Mounting & Wiring Alarms
WARNING: Mains operated Alarms should be installed and interconnected by a licensed electrician in accordance with the Australian wiring rules AS3000. Failure to install this Alarm correctly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards. WARNING: The Alarm must be continuously powered 24 hours a day so it is important that it is not on a circuit that can be turned off by a switch. - Page 15 If the mains wires are being brought along the surface: (a) position the mounting plate so the cable trunking is as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 (b) the mounting plate has a removable section, take it out to interface directly with 25mm conduit as shown in Figure 5.
