If the optical sensor chamber becomes very heavily contaminated, the amber fault light will flash once every 40 seconds to inform the user. Action can then be taken to replace the unit, long before the contamination causes nuisance alarms. - Page 8 The Multi-Sensor Alarm can be installed for superior performance anywhere the regulations specify an Optical Smoke Alarm or an Ionisation Smoke Alarm. (The Ei2110 Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm can also be used and interconnected with an Ei166RC Optical Smoke Alarm or an Ei161RC Ionisation Smoke Alarm if necessary).

B16350-R0-Ei2100 SERIES-U&C.qxd 18/9/08 3:46 PM Page 14 1 Some Fire authorities (concerned with the slow response of Heat Alarms) advise that Smoke Alarms (or Multi-Sensor Alarms) should be fitted. This is acceptable according to BS 5839-6 provided there are clearly not going to be problems with nuisance alarms. Fit Heat Alarms only if nuisance alarms are very likely and it is acceptable that a warning will only be given by the Heat Alarm when there is a very significant flaming fire in the room. -

POSITIONING ALARMS The locations must comply with applicable building regulations. Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the preferred location. -
Page 16: Locations To Avoid
B16350-R0-Ei2100 SERIES-U&C.qxd 18/9/08 Note: Ceiling mounting is recommended - do not wall mount alarms. Sloping Ceiling In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install the alarm 900mm from the highest point measured horizontally (see Figure 2). This is because “dead air” at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit. -
