Summary of Contents for Ei Electronics Ei413

  • Page 1 RadioLINK Panel Module for use with RF Smoke, Heat and Carbon Monoxide Alarms Model: Ei413 Instructions Read and retain carefully for as long as the product is being used. It contains vital information on the operation and installation of your product. This instruction manual should be regarded as part of the product.
  • Page 3 Overview ANTENNA Alarm In RF indicator Housecode (blue LED) Button...
  • Page 4 The Ei413 RadioLINK Panel Module is powered by 11 – 30V DC from an external source (panel). It decodes “Fire”, “CO” and “Fault” signals from the RF Alarms and activates the relevant relay.
  • Page 5 Important: A system containing an Ei413 should be installed and commissioned by a suitably skilled and competent person.

  • Page 6: Installation

    Installation The Ei413 can be installed in or next to the panel. If the panel is in a metal case, then the module should be located on the outside of the panel. CAUTION! Before connecting the Ei413 to a fire or security panel please...
  • Page 7 fire and fault conditions to the fire panel using only a two-wire connection to the panel. This circuit is depicted in Figure 1. The circuit consists of two separate switches – one for a fire condition and one for fault condition. There are three possible switch configurations which depend on the state of the system: standby, fire and fault.
  • Page 8 Conventional Fire Panel Zone Input Figure 1 Ei413 Relay Module Circuit for Conventional Fire Panel Fault Fire Resistor *Resistor: The purpose of this resistor is to help distinguish between standby mode and a fire condition, by altering the current flow in the circuit. The panel is designed to detect...

  • Page 9: Standby Condition

    Standby Condition Detector Zone Input Figure 2 EOL Device Fault Relay Fire Relay Resistor In standby mode, both relays are set to the NC position by default. The current path flows via the EOL device and the NC-C Fire Condition terminals of the fault relay.

  • Page 10: Fire Condition

    Fire Condition Detector Zone Input Figure 3 EOL Device Fault Relay Fire Relay Resistor When a fire is detected, the fire relay will be activated. The current now flows via the C-NO terminals of the fire relay, the Fault Condition current limiting resistor and the NC-C terminals of the fault relay.
  • Page 11 A fault condition is generated when the Ei413 receives a RadioLINK fault signal from the Ei Electronic RadioLINK alarms. When the Ei413 receives a fault signal the C-NO terminals of the fault relay are connected. This effectively breaks the circuit – the panel will see an open circuit and will indicate a fault condition.
  • Page 12 5. Wire the EOL device to the NC terminal of the Fault relay and the C terminal of the Fire relay as shown in Figure 5. 6. Power up the fire panel and the Ei413 panel module and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to set up the fire panel system.

  • Page 14 A.3 Resetting the fire panel after a fire or fault Fire: Once the fire event has cleared, the alarms stopped sounding and the Ei413 has reset, it is possible to reset the panel to standby mode as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Fault: When a fault is detected the Alarm will transmit an RF fault signal.

  • Page 16 1. Wire each of the Ei413’s relay you wish to use to a corresponding contact input in the panel. 2. Locate the auxiliary power output in the panel and wire it to the Vin connector on the Ei413, being careful to ensure the polarity of the auxiliary power supply has been wired correctly.

  • Page 17: House Coding

    House Coding Once wired to the panel, it is essential to House Code the Ei413 to all the other Ei Electronics RF 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 18 1 Ei413 will result in 4 flashes. It may take up to 10 minutes before all 4 flashes are seen. The flash pattern will repeat every 5 to 10 seconds while the Ei413 remains in house code mode. If it fails to flash the correct number of times, then consult the “Troubleshooting the RF connection”...
  • Page 19 Note: Not all devices are able to receive the Exit House Code mode signal from another device. If some devices continue to flash blue, please consult their instruction manual to manually exit house code mode. Check that the RF indicators have stopped flashing on all devices.
  • Page 20 4. After repair or servicing of any of the systems elements or electrical works being carried out. With regards to the Ei413, check that the relay switches and that the associated device operates when the system is in alarm (e.g. due to a Smoke Alarm test button being pressed).
  • Page 21 RF Alarms and devices in the system again. To reset the Ei413, press and hold the House Code button. The RF indicator will light up blue, remain blue and then after 7 seconds approx.
  • Page 22 Rotating and/or relocating the Alarms may move them out of the range of existing devices even though they may have already been House Coded correctly in the system. It is therefore important to check that all Alarms are communicating in their final installed positions.
  • Page 23 Getting your Product Serviced If, within the guarantee period, your device fails to work after you have carefully read all the instructions and checked that the device has been installed correctly, then contact us. If you are advised to return your product, follow the instructions given and place the device in a padded box with the proof of purchase, your contact details and a note stating the nature of the fault.
  • Page 24 Guarantee Ei Electronics guarantees this device for five years from the date of purchase against any defects that are due to faulty materials or workmanship. If this device should become defective within the guarantee period, we shall at our discretion repair or replace the faulty unit.

  • Page 25: Limitations Of Radio Communications

    Limitations of Radio Communications Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required by regulatory bodies), there are some limitations to be considered: - Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the House Coding.
