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.
Note: The EIB168RC RadioLINK Base can be used to eliminate
interconnect wiring, make system extensions and provide a
simple and cost effective solution.
1. Select a location complying with the advice in the
(Positioning Alarms section).
2. Disconnect the AC mains supply from the circuit that
is going to be used.
3. Lift off the wiring cover as shown in Figure 3.
The house wiring must be connected to the terminal block
on the mounting plate as follows:
L: Live - connect to the house wires coloured brown or
marked L.
N: Neutral - connect to the house wires coloured blue
or marked N.

See page 16 for information on interconnection.
Note: Wiring must be installed in compliance with
AS3000
Warning: Mixing the Live and Neutral connections
when interconnecting alarms will damage all the
alarms - ensure that the same colours are used
throughout the premises for Live, Neutral and
Interconnect wires.
We strongly recommend that you check for the following
before connecting the Alarm:
• check for Live and Neutral using a two probe tester.
• check for Live using a neon tester.
• check that the Interconnect wire is NOT connected to
Live, Neutral or Earth. Do not use an Earth wire for
the Interconnect line.
N.B. The Alarm does not need to be earthed. However the
terminal marked
installer so that any copper Earth wire or cable coloured
green & yellow, can be safely terminated.
To interconnect the Alarms connect all the IC terminals
together as shown in Figure 4 (see "Interconnecting
Alarms" section on page 16).
