  • Page 14: Where To Locate The Alarm

    2.2 Where to locate the Alarm The main reason for fitting Smoke / Heat / Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms in dwellings is to ensure that when there is a fire, sufficient early warning is given so that everybody can escape safely. This means that the fire Alarms should ideally be located near all potential sources of fires and that the alarm should be heard throughout the house –...
  • Page 15 If there is more than one sleeping area, Smoke / Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms should be placed between each sleeping area and the living area (see Figure 2). Consideration should be given to installing Smoke / Multi-Sensor Fire 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 18: Where In The Room

    2.4 Where in the room? 300mm (min) Ceiling Mounting 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 Alarms must be 300mm mounted away from corners. Fit the Alarm: - At least 300mm away from walls (see Figure 3) - At least 300mm from any light fitting or decorative object which might obstruct smoke / heat entering...
  • Page 19 Wall Mounting (Ei650i only) 150mm to 300mm If ceiling mounting is impractical, Smoke Alarms may be mounted on a wall, provided that: - The room does not exceed 10m in both length and breadth. - The room does not exceed 50m - The top of the detection element is between 150mm and 300mm below the ceiling (see Figure 5).

  • Page 20: Locations To Avoid

    2.5 Locations to avoid DON’T place Smoke, Heat or Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms in any of the following areas: • Bathrooms, shower rooms or other rooms where the Alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation. • Places where the normal temperature can exceed 40°C or be below -10°C (e.g. furnace rooms, directly above ovens or kettles etc.) as the heat / steam could cause nuisance alarms.

  • Page 25: Interconnecting Alarms

    In an RF system containing more than 3 or 4 Alarms, an Ei Electronics Control Switch (Ei450) should be incorporated and be readily accessible to all occupants so that the source of an alarm can be quickly identified.

A comprehensive report of all such events and more is available through the AudioLINK + download via the AudioLINK + App. Low Battery If the Alarm gives a short chirp about every 48 seconds with a yellow LED flash at the same time, it indicates that the Lithium Battery is partially depleted and the Alarm needs to be replaced.
  • Page 33 Maximum Dust Compensation (Multi-Sensor and Smoke Alarms only) The Alarm monitors the dust contamination build-up in the optical smoke chamber and then compensates for it, reducing the possibility of false alarms.
