ensure early warning.
WARNING: Do not hardwire interconnect mains powered
Alarms with low voltage or battery powered Ei Electronics
Alarms/devices or any other type of Alarm produced by another
manufacturer. Doing so may damage the Alarms and could result
in a shock or fire hazard.
To interconnect Alarms connect all the IC terminals together as
shown in Figure 6.

The interconnect wire (minimum 0.75mm
as if it was Live. It should be insulated and sheathed.
A maximum of 250 metres of wire can be used (maximum
