230V~ SMOKE & HEAT ALARMS
Introduction to Ei160e
Smoke/Heat Alarms
The Ei160e 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.
Interconnection can be achieved by hardwire or through
a modular RF module, the Ei100MRF, 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 Alarms feature a large combined test/hush
button. The Heat Alarm features a test 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.

Page 12: Locations To Avoid
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. -

• 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. -

The power supply for the Alarms should be derived from the public electricity supply to the dwelling. - Page 15 • 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.
