The battery also needs to be replaced if it is over 5 years old (see "replace battery by" date on side
panel). To remove the battery reverse the instructions in the first part of section 2. Contact nearest
address at the end of this leaflet on obtaining a replacement battery.
Replace the entire Strobe Module after 10 years operation. (see "replace unit by" date on side panel).
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the units fail any of the above tests after installation, the system has probably been incorrectly
installed and/or all units are not House Coded correctly. Check carefully that all units are powered. If
the power lights on any of the mains units are not on constantly, or flashing once every 45 seconds on
battery powered units, check the connections to the mains and/or the connections to the batteries.
(See individual unit instruction leaflets if necessary). For mains units check that the power is not off
(i.e. due to a tripped circuit breaker or fuse).
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit (apart from the battery). If the unit (apart from the
battery) is thought to be defective, it must be returned to the nearest address at the end of this leaflet
for repair or replacement (see "Five Year Guarantee" section).
Some troubleshooting items (including RF links) are specific to individual units and may not be covered
in this leaflet. In these cases the more comprehensive unit leaflet should be consulted.
6. OTHER FEATURES & ACCESSORIES
OTHER FEATURES
Strobe Module - Auxiliary Outputs - AUX 1 & AUX 2: The two auxiliary outputs are activated when
the Strobe Module is in alarm. The Aux 1 socket can supply up to 180mA at 12 Volts. The AUX 2 socket
can supply up to 20mA at 12 Volts.
N.B. The AUX 2 socket can be used for low power devices such as pager trigger inputs.
Note: As supplied the two auxiliary sockets AUX. 1 and AUX. 2 are protected by latched plastic plugs
which must be removed before the auxiliary devices can be plugged in (see figure 5). These plugs can
be removed by pressing the latch lever (on the side nearest the "AUX" marking) before gently pulling
the plug off.
"Clock Input" Socket: (not available without a vibration pad). A suitable alarm clock signal (with a
5 to 24 Volts AC or DC output – electrically isolated from the mains supply) can be connected to this
input socket with a 3.5mm mono jack plug. (see figure 4) When the alarm clock triggers, the vibration
pad turns on continuously (i.e. it is not pulsed) to wake the person, but the internal strobe or auxiliary
outputs are not activated. This lets the user know it is a wake-up call and not a fire. Therefore the user
needs only one vibration pad under their pillow or mattress – rather than two, one for the Fire Alarm
and one for the alarm clock.
ACCESSORIES
Ei178 - Auxiliary Strobe: (draws 180mA). Supplied with 10m of cable and a suitable plug for
connection to the auxiliary socket. It should be plugged into AUX 1. It can be located, for example,
where it is readily seen during the day (e.g. downstairs hallway).
Ei174 - Auxiliary Vibration Pad: (draws 120mA). Supplied with 5m of cable and a suitable plug for
connecting to the auxiliary socket. It should be plugged into AUX 1.
Ei410 - RadioLINK Remote Control (portable): The Remote Control Ei410 allows you to Test, Hush or
Locate suitable RadioLINK Smoke/Fire/Heat Alarms.
Ei411H - RadioLINK Remote Control (wall mounted): This wall mounted switch allows you to Test,
Hush or Locate suitable RadioLINK Smoke/Fire/Heat Alarms. (Note: the Strobe Module Ei170RC
ignores a RadioLINK LOCATE message and will continue to flash the strobe and drive the vibration
pad as long as it gets an RF alarm signal).
Ei407 - RadioLINK Manual Call Point: This allows remote triggering of RadioLINK alarms / accessories
and is ideal where emergency situations are identified and which require immediate evacuation.
Ei428 - RadioLINK Relay Module: This module contains a set of relay contacts that switch upon
receipt of an alarm signal from suitable RadioLINK Smoke/Fire/Heat Alarms.
