4.4 Using RadioLINK interconnect and hard wired interconnect together.
Hybrid systems can be used - for example to get the RadioLINK signal from an Ei262 Alarm to trigger a
hard wired Smoke/Heat Alarm system which has one Ei168RC RadioLINK Base. However the devices
or systems must not be interconnected both by hard wired and also RadioLINK. This can cause the
units to stay latched in alarm, until the units are unpowered.
5. USING AND TESTING YOUR SYSTEM
5.1 Using the System
If the Carbon Monoxide Alarm is in alarm (with its red alarm indicator flashing at least once every 2 seconds)
– immediately follow the instructions on page 3 "What to do when the Carbon Monoxide Alarm is activated".
If you have interconnected CO Alarms and Smoke/Heat Alarms and they are all in alarm, then quickly
press the "Locate" button (with a RadioLINK system it is on the Ei411H3 Remote Control and with a hard
wired system it is on the Ei1529RC Remote Control) to silence all the alarms except the one sensing
danger. If a Remote Control was not fitted, find the alarm with its red alarm light flashing rapidly – if it is
a Carbon Monoxide Alarm follow the instructions on page 4.
If it is a fire, evacuate everybody from the premises, closing all doors as you leave, call the Fire Brigade
and follow the other emergency instructions supplied with your Smoke/Heat Alarm).
(Note: When all the alarms are sounding you must not press the hush button on the Ei411H3 or
Ei1529RC until you know which device caused the alarm).
5.2 Testing the System
5.2.1. Regularly check that the green mains power light is on. The unit cannot detect CO if the mains
power is off and the rechargeable battery back-up is depleted. (If it is off check circuit breakers, fuses,
wiring etc).
5.2.2. Test the unit weekly by pressing the Test/Hush button. Hold the Test button (for up to 10 seconds)
until the horn sounds for over 5 seconds & the RadioLINK Indicator light turns red for about 3.5 seconds
