  • Page 18: House Coding

    4. House Coding It is essential to House Code the Ei414 to all the other RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system to ensure they will not communicate with nearby systems. Failure to House Code the system may also result in a system malfunction.
  • Page 19 Return to the Ei414 and check that RadioLINK LED is flashing blue. The number of flashes should equal the number of RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system. A system with 2 x Smoke Alarms, 1 x CO Alarm, 1 x Alarm Controller and 1 x Ei414 will result in 5 blue flashes.
  • Page 20 To complete the commissioning, the system must exit House Code mode. The units will automatically exit House Code after 30 minutes. Once coded the system will not communicate with any other RadioLINK Alarms and devices outside the House Coded group. To manually exit House Code press the House Code button on the Ei414.
  • Page 21 Reset the House Code Sometimes in order to resolve an RF communication issue, e.g. Alarms have to be relocated, it may be necessary to reset and House Code all RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system again. To reset the Ei414 press and hold the House Code button. The RadioLINK LED will flash blue briefly and then go solid.

  • Page 22: Testing

    5. Testing The Ei414 must be tested by the installer upon installation. This test is primarily to ensure the functionality of the entire system i.e. the RadioLINK Alarm System in conjunction with the other manufacturer’s system. The ‘TEST’ mode facilitates the installer to button test each Alarm individually to ensure that the correct communication has taken place between the Ei414 and the other manufacturer’s system.

  • Page 23: Service Relay

    6. Service Relay The Ei414 is designed to act upon Service messages transmitted from any Alarm in a RadioLINK system. The Service relay will activate after one of the following events: (this will be indicated by the service LED flashing approx. every 6 secs). 1.

  • Page 24: User Information

    7. User Information Having an Ei414 Fire/CO Alarm Interface installed in conjunction with an other manufacturer’s system gives the user additional protection. However it is essential that all Smoke/Heat/CO Alarms are tested weekly. If an Ei168RC RadioLINK Base is installed in the system then the system must be tested using an Ei450 Alarm Controller.
  • Page 25 When the alarm system sounds N.B. If there has been an emergency evacuation procedure put in place by the Alarm Monitoring Centre (or equivalent), please follow those instructions in case of an emergency. If there has not been any specific instructions issued by the Alarm Monitoring Centre, please follow the basic responses in the instance of a fire or CO event.

  • Page 26: Troubleshooting The Radiolink

    8. Troubleshooting the RadioLINK If, when checking the RadioLINK interconnection, some of the Alarms do not respond, repeat the steps in the ‘Housecode’ procedure: (i) Ensure the Ei414 has been activated correctly. Check that the power on procedure operates as described in the ‘Installation’...
