IMPORTANT
Additional Instructions for the
Radio Interconnect Heat Alarm Ei3103RF
The Ei3103RF Heat Alarm, usually located in the kitchen, must be
used with Smoke Alarms Ei3100RF and/or Ei3105RF located on the
escape route from the house. The Radio Interconnect will help
ensure the alarm is heard through-out the house as all units will
alarm, if one senses fire.
Installing your Heat Alarms
1.
For Location & Positioning see section 2 & 3 of the main
instructions.
2. Pull cover open at tab.
3. Place the base on ceiling or wall exactly where you want to
mount the unit. With a pencil, mark the location of the screw
holes.
4. Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the ceiling or wall,
drill a hole through the centres of the marked locations. Push the
plastic Screw Anchors provided into the drilled holes. Screw in
firmly.
5. Connect the battery and close the cover.
6. The Radio Wireless interconnect will now operate. Pressing the
test button on one unit should cause all the others to alarm. (All
alarms are set in default factory mode and will communicate with
each other).

7. However we strongly recommend that you house code your
alarms to prevent your units setting off your neighbour's alarms or
vice versa.
To house code all your alarms:
7.1 Open the cover by pulling the tab.
7.2 Press the house code switch (see figure 3a) and hold until the
amber light comes on, then release the switch. The amber light will
then flash rapidly for about 1 second to indicate it is now in house
code mode. Leave the cover hanging open.
7.3 Now similarly press the house code switches on all the rest of
the alarms, within 15 minutes, to put them also into house code
mode. (The alarms automatically come out of house code mode
after 15 minutes).
7.4 When in house code mode, the amber light will flash a number
of times every 5 seconds, to indicate the number of alarms that have
been identified as part of your system. For example with 3 alarms in
your system, you should see 3 amber flashes every 5 seconds.
7.5 Check that the number of amber light flashes (on each alarm)
corresponds to the number of units in the system. If this is not the
case repeat the house code procedure. If there is still a problem
rotate or re-locate the units and then house code the units again in
their final position.
7.6 Close the covers on all the units.
Radio Interconnect Heat Alarm Ei3103RF
Note:
(i) The Ei3103RF model does not have a hush button. If there is a
nuisance alarm, fan cooking fumes etc. away from unit with a
newspaper or similar.
(ii) The Ei3103RF cannot be made into a repeater.
(If you think you need a repeater purchase an Ei Electronics Optical
Smoke Alarm Ei3105RF. (A repeater 'repeats' the RF signal to
increase the range).
(iii) When the test button is pressed the RF interconnection can be
checked by listening for the other units sounding.
(The test button may need to be held for up to 10 seconds for the RF
message to be sent). If you need clarification contact us at the
details below.

The Ei3105RF and Ei3100RF Wireless Smoke Alarms are ideal in this situa- tion as they are automatically interconnected without wiring.

Alternatively they can be taken out of house code mode quickly by pressing and holding the house code switch until the amber light comes on again. The amber light will go out immediately when the switch is released, indi- cating that the alarm is no longer in house code mode.

TESTING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARMS Your smoke alarm is a life saving device and should be regu- larly checked. Regularly check that the red light on the smoke alarm flashes once a minute to show the units are powered.

If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be neces- sary to re-locate the device away from the source of the fumes.
