Page 6: Location & Positioning
2. Location & Positioning Introduction Congratulations on purchasing an Ei600 Series Alarm. You can easily install these alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each storey, in corridors & in closed rooms to give warning of fire. The Heat Alarms can be installed in kitchens and other areas where Smoke Alarms are unsuitable. - Page 7 Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the most likely sources of fire (living room, kitchen for example), but it should not be more than 7.5 metres from the door to any room where a fire may start and block your escape from the house.
- Page 8 Multi-Storey Dwellings If your home has more than one floor, at least one Alarm should be fitted on each level (see Figure 1). Preferably the units should be interconnected (if feature is present on unit) so as to give sufficient warning throughout the property. RadioLINK plug-in modules are ideal in this situation as the units will then interconnect using Radio Frequency (RF) signals - so no wiring is required.
- Page 9 Figure 1 For minimum protection - Smoke Alarm on each storey - in each sleeping area Kitchen Bedroom - every 7.5 metres of hallways and Bathroom Living Room rooms - within 3 metres of all bedroom doors - all units interconnected (where Dining Room Bedroom feature is present)
- Page 10 start at night, followed by the kitchen (where a Heat Alarm is recommended) and then the dining room. Consideration should be given to installing Smoke Alarms in any bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker.
- Page 11 On a Sloping Ceiling With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke Alarm within 600mm of the peak or a Heat Alarm within 150mm of the peak (measured vertically). If this height is less than 600mm for Smoke Alarms or 150mm for Heat Alarms the ceiling is regarded (see Figure 4).
- Page 12 • Do not locate in insect infested areas. Small insects getting into the smoke detector chamber can cause intermittent alarms. DON’T place Heat Alarms in any of the following areas: • Bathrooms, shower rooms or other rooms where the unit may be triggered by steam or condensation.

3. Installation Installation Procedure 1. Select a location complying with the advice in Section 2. 2. Remove the mounting plate from the Smoke/Heat Alarm by twisting it in an anti-clockwise direction (see Figure 5). 3. Place the mounting plate on the ceiling exactly where you want to mount the Alarm. - Page 14 orientation with respect to this (see figure 6). 6. Connect the battery to the battery snaps as shown in the Quick Start Guide (for Front Wall Front Wall Mounting Plate Mounting Plate Orientate all mounting plates in the same direction Large hole nearest...

Page 17: Interconnection - Hard Wired
4. Interconnection - Hard Wired A combined maximum of 12 Smoke Alarms and/or Heat Alarms may be wired together such that when one unit senses fire all other units sound a warning - (see Table 1 for the alarms with hardwired interconnect option). This helps ensure the alarm will be heard throughout the property. - Page 18 making it insensitive. It is essential that all such ceiling openings be closed with silicone sealant or similar. 1. Run the two core cable to the Alarm locations. 2. Bring the cable through the opening in the mounting plate (before screwing it to the ceiling) see figure 9b.

Page 19: Testing, Maintenance & Power Supply
Install and connect all the other Alarms similarly. Now test the first Alarm by pressing and holding the Test button (this may take up to 5 seconds). The red indicator light will flash about once a second on the first Alarm and all other Alarms should sound. - Page 20 - If they are interconnected using RadioLINK modules, hold down the Test button until the blue light on the cover of the Alarm illuminates. Check that all other Alarms sound. - Release the Test button. The Alarm and all connected Alarms should stop sounding.

- Page 22 2. A Heat Alarm is beeping about every 40 seconds. - If it is a 9V Replaceable Battery model then replace the battery. - If it is a 10 Year Lithium Battery model this indicates that the Lithium Battery is partially depleted and the Smoke Alarm needs to be replaced.
- Page 23 The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in the construction of Ei Electronics Alarms to minimise the effects of contamination. However it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up.
- Page 24 5.7 End of life The entire Alarm must be replaced if:- (i) All Models: • The unit is installed for over 10 years (check the “replace by” date marked on the side of the unit). (ii) All 10 Year Lithium Battery models only •...

Alarm Limitations Limitations of Smoke/Heat Alarms Smoke/Heat Alarms have significantly helped to reduce the number of fire fatalities in countries where they are widely installed. - Page 29 Smoke/Heat Alarms on both sides of closed doors and installing more than one Alarm as recommended in this leaflet very significantly improve the probability of early detection. • The Smoke/Heat Alarm may not be heard. • RadioLINK may not work due to interference or due to the signal being blocked by furniture, renovations etc.
