  • Page 11: Important Safety Instructions

    2.1 Important Safety Instructions Mains operated Alarms should be installed and interconnected by a qualified electrician in accordance with the local appropriate Regulations for Electrical Installations. Failure to install this Alarm correctly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards and damage the product. The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted, using its own built-in terminal block to connect it to the mains.

  • Page 12: Where To Locate The Alarm

    The Alarm must be continuously powered 24 hours a day so it is important that it is not on a circuit that can be turned off by a switch. (UK) BS 5839-6: 2013 gives the following recommendations regarding the mains supply to be used in a Grade D system.

Location Ei3024 Ei3016 Ei3014 Mutil-Sensor Optical Heat Fire Alarm Smoke Alarm Alarm (i) Hall, Corridors, Escape routes Kitchens / Garages Living Rooms Bedrooms Shower / Bathrooms (i) A Heat Alarm should only be used in a room adjoining an escape route, in conjunction with Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms or Smoke Alarms on the escape routes.
  • Page 17 Improved Audibility The effectiveness of a Category LD2 (UK) system can be significantly enhanced if an additional Alarm (interconnected) is installed in the master bedroom. This will help ensure that a responsible person will quickly be alerted to a fire and can arrange for an orderly evacuation of children and other vulnerable occupants.

  • Page 18: Where In The Room

    2.4 Where in the room? The locations must comply with applicable building regulations 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 mounted away 300mm from corners.

  • Page 19: Locations To Avoid

    Wall mounting should only be considered where close spaced beams or similar obstructions may preclude ceiling mounting. It is considered to be the responsibility of the installer/client to determine if the presence of asbestos in the ceiling material would make ceiling mounting ‘impractical’. Sloping Ceiling APEX SMOKE /...

    2.6 Mounting and wiring 1. Select a location complying with the advice in previous sections. 2. Disconnect the AC mains supply from the circuit that is going to be used. 3. Lift off the wiring cover as shown in Figure 4. The wiring must be connected to the terminal Foam ceiling gasket block on the mounting plate as follows:...
  • Page 22 Warning: Mixing (or leaving unattached) the Live and Neutral connections when interconnecting Alarms may damage all the Alarms - ensure that the same colour wires are used throughout the premises for Live, Neutral and Interconnect wires. We strongly recommend that you check for the following before connecting the Alarm: •...
  • Page 23 Fig.5 Fig.6 4. If the mains wires are recessed, bring the wires through the rear hole in the mounting plate as shown in Figure 5. If the mains wires are being brought along the surface: (a) position the mounting plate so the cable trunking is as shown in Figure 5. (b) the mounting plate has a removable section, take it out to interface directly with 25mm trunking as shown in Figure 6.
  • Page 24 6. Replace the wiring cover and carefully line up the Alarm on the base and slide on (see Figure 7). 7. Connect the mains power to the Alarm circuit. Check the green light on the front of the Alarm is on. 8.

  • Page 29: Testing And Maintaining Your Alarm

    3.1 Testing and maintaining your Alarm Frequent testing of all your Alarms is a requirement to ensure they are functioning correctly. Guidelines and best practices for testing are as follows: 1. After the system is installed. 2. Once monthly thereafter. 3.
  • Page 30 (iii) Press the test button for up to 10 seconds and ensure that the Alarm sounds. This tests the sensor, electronics and sounder are working. The Alarm will stop when the button is released. Pressing the test button simulates the effect of smoke and/or heat and therefore is the best way to ensure the Alarm is operating correctly.

  • Page 31: Cleaning Your Alarm

    The Ei3000MRF modules (if required) must be re-fitted to the Alarms and the Alarms must be re-attached to the mounting plates when the premises are re-occupied. Ensure to match the original RF module back to the same Alarm head. (Long term storage (over 1 year) can damage the batteries such that they will not recharge when the units are re-connected to the mains supply).
  • Page 32 WARNING: Do not paint your Alarm. Other than the cleaning described above, no other customer servicing of this product is required. Servicing or repairs, when needed, must be performed by the manufacturer. All Alarms are prone to dust and insect ingress, which can cause false alarms or failure to alarm. In certain circumstances, even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the Alarm to sound or fail.

Disconnect the mains first and replace the Alarm - see ‚Removing the Alarm‘ section. Maximum Dust Compensation (Ei3016 and Ei3024 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.

  • Page 44 Limitations of Fire Alarms Multi-Sensor Fire / Smoke / Heat Alarms can significantly help to reduce the risk of fire fatalities. However independent authorities have stated that these systems may be ineffective in some fire situations. There are a number of reasons for this: - The Alarms will not work if the mains power supply is off or disconnected and the backup battery is depleted.
  • Page 45 When a fire system is installed, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including those listed below: • Please read all instructions. • Use the Testing of the Alarm as a means to familiarise your family with the alarm sound and to practice fire drills regularly with all family members.
