Interconnection with RadioLINK Modules A combined maximum of 18 Alarms (12 Smoke & 6 Heat / CO) with RF RadioLINK Modules may be interconnected so that if one of the Alarms senses fire, and sounds a warning, all the other Alarms will also sound a warning. This helps to ensure the alarm will be heard throughout the property.

Testing Your Alarm is a life saving device and should be checked periodically. Regularly check that the red light on the Alarm flashes approx once a minute to show the units are powered. Replace the Alarm if the flashing stops. Manually Testing your Alarms It is recommended that you test your Alarms after installation and then at least weekly to ensure the units are working.
RadioLINK Limitations Limitations of RadioLINK Radio Frequency Signals Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be considered: (i) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the House Coding.
