  • Page 6 The EIB3028 is a dual sensor Heat and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm. It contains a proven electrochemical CO sensor to detect the presence of toxic levels of Carbon Monoxide as well as an independent fast acting Class A1 Thermistor sensor to detect dangerous levels of heat. The combination of CO and Heat detection makes it an ideal Alarm for kitchens, utility rooms and garages where fuel burning appliances maybe installed.

  • Page 22: Interconnecting Alarms

    Heat Alarms should always be interconnected to Smoke or Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms to ensure early warning. Note: A maximum of 12 Fire / CO Alarms and accessory devices can be interconnected in an Brooks Alarm system. (Any EIB3000 series Alarm can also be interconnected to an EIB160e and EIB140RC Series).
  • Page 23 Make electrical connections as shown in Fig.9 Figure 9. Wiring must be installed in compliance with AS3000. In Australia it is recommended that the following coloured cores are used. 230V supply : Brown Neutral : Blue Interconnect : White The interconnect wire must be treated as if it was Live. It should be double insulated. A maximum of 250 metres of wire can be used (maximum resistance between Alarms 50 Ohms).

  • Page 34: Testing And Maintaining Your Alarm

    4.1 Testing and maintaining your Alarm Frequent testing of all your Alarms is a requirement to ensure they are functioning correctly. Guidelines and best practices for testing are as follows: 1. After the system is installed. 2. Once monthly thereafter. 3.
  • Page 35 (iii) Press the test button for up to 10 seconds and ensure that the Alarm sounds. (Note: On initial press the EIB3028 will alarm the fire sound pattern. On second press the EIB3028 will alarm the CO sound pattern). This tests the sensor, electronics and sounder are working. The Alarm will stop when the button is released.

  • Page 36: Cleaning Your Alarm

    prevent the batteries becoming fully depleted. (This is sometimes done with holiday homes which are only occupied in the summer). The EIB3000MRF modules (if required) must be re-fitted to the Alarms and the Alarms must be re-attached to the mounting plates when the premises are re-occupied. Ensure to match the original RF module back to the same Alarm head.
  • Page 37 Use the narrow nozzle attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust, insects and cobwebs from the sides and cover slots where the airflow enters. Clean the outside cover by occasionally wiping with a clean damp cloth then dry thoroughly with a lint free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, bleaches, detergents or polishes, including those in aerosol cans.

  • Page 53 Limitations of Heat and CO Alarms - Mains powered Alarms will not work if the mains power supply is off or disconnected and the backup battery is depleted. - The Alarms may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away.
  • Page 54 insurance. The CO Alarm warns of increasing CO levels, but we do not guarantee that this will protect everyone from CO poisoning. - CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide, but the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient warning of fire.
