Introduction The Ei3000MRF SmartLINK Module is the next generation RF module designed to fit in the Ei160e and Ei2110e series, Easi-fit mains powered Alarms. The Ei3000MRF RadioLINK Module effectively replaces the Ei168RC RadioLINK Base. The primary function of the Ei3000MRF is to wirelessly interconnect all Ei Electronics Alarms in a system by the means of an RF signal i.e.
Page 5: Installation And House Coding
Installation and House Coding N.B Disconnect Mains Before Alarm Head Removal After disconnecting the mains power supply, it is now safe to remove the Alarm from its base. Using a screwdriver, insert into the removal slot on the side of the Alarm. Push the lower half of the Alarm away from the screwdriver, in the direction of the arrow on the cover (see Figure 1 below).
Page 6 Fitting the Ei3000MRF Module To fit the Ei3000MRF Module, first hold the flexible antenna and guide it into its designated hole in the rear of the unit until about 2/3 of its length is inserted (Fig. 2a). Then, hold the module housing (Fig. 2b) & plug it into the Alarm, being careful to align the pins and keeping them perpendicular to the base as the module is inserted (Fig.
Page 7 House Coding the Unit Ensure that the Alarm is re-connected to the base correctly by checking for the green LED on the cover of the Alarm. Power supply to the Ei3000MRF will be confirmed by an initial flash of the red, blue and green LED on the side of the unit (see Fig 3).

Page 9 The Alarm will now send a signal to all the other RF devices in the system to exit House Code. Alternatively, the RF Alarms will automatically exit the House Code mode after 30 minutes. To check the system, press the test button on any Alarm. After a few seconds all Alarms should now sound.

Page 11: Additional Features
Additional Features The Ei3000MRF SmartLINK Module provides additional features not available with Ei Electronics RadioLINK products. The following features will only work with SmartLINK devices. 1. Remote House Coding (required if you want to add an Alarm to an installed system) 2.
Page 12 2. Monitoring The Ei3000MRF SmartLINK Module has the ability to “Monitor” the RF signal path and strength. This is an enhanced self-monitoring function that recognises system tampering or alarm head removal. In monitoring mode each Alarm will check the presence of its strongest received RF signal. If the signal is missing then the Alarm will record a monitoring failure event.

Page 16: Testing The System
Testing the System Check that the green light is on continuously to indicate that mains power is present and that the red light flashes every 40 seconds. Frequent testing of the system is a requirement to ensure its continued and safe operation. Guidelines and best practices for testing are as follows: 1.

The local Alarm will stop sounding but you will hear the other Alarms still sounding in the distance. End of Life (EOL) Check Check the ‘replace by date’ label on all Ei3000MRF modules and attached Alarms. If the date has been exceeded then the module should be replaced.

Page 18: Smartlink Troubleshooting
SmartLINK Troubleshooting It is important that all Alarms in your system communicate with each other. The number of walls, ceilings and metal objects in the signal path will reduce the strength of the SmartLINK signals between the Alarms. Accordingly, one or more Smoke/Heat/CO Alarms may have difficulties in communicating to all the other Alarms in the system.
