use of ladders or chairs, to:
• Test the Smoke/Heat/CO Alarms.
• Locate the Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm sensing fire/CO
by silencing all the other alarms (for 10 minutes). This
is of great benefit, particularly at night as the source of
the fire/CO can be quickly traced audibly. This is ideal
for larger systems as people nearest the fire/CO can
be quickly evacuated and/or control a fire if it is small.
• Memory Locate: The Locate button also identifies
which alarms have previously sensed fire/CO. This is
very useful when troubleshooting systems of multiple
smoke, heat and/or CO alarms (see section 4 - Alarm
Memory Function).
• Hush Nuisance Alarms: These can be silenced by
pressing and releasing the Hush switch.

Clearing the House Codes:
House Code Button Figure 1
It may sometimes be necessary to clear the House
Codes (e.g. if you wanted to use the Remote Control
Switch with different alarms).
To clear the House Codes:
• Unscrew the Remote Control Switch assembly from
the mounting box.
• Press and hold the House Code button for over 6
seconds until the RF indicator red light turns on
continuously and then flashes slowly. Immediately
release the button and the RF indicator red light will
go out.
• Re-attach to the mounting box.
Note clearing the House Codes will now reset the
Remote Control Switch to the original factory setting.
It will now only communicate with un-coded alarms
(see base/smoke alarm instruction leaflet for
information on how to un-code the bases/smoke
alarms).
3. USING REMOTE CONTROL
Ei411H Remote Control Switch Functionality
1.When a RadioLINK smoke or heat alarm is
activated, the Fire light on the Remote Control switch
will flash rapidly for 2 minutes. After this period the
rate will change to one flash every 30 seconds and
will continue for 24 hours before turning off.

will flash rapidly for 2 minutes. After this period the
rate will change to one flash every 30 seconds and
will continue for 24 hours before turning off.
2.When a RadioLINK Carbon Monoxide alarm is
activated, the Carbon Monoxide light on the Remote
Control Switch will flash rapidly for 2 minutes. After
this period the rate will change to one flash every 30
seconds and will continue for 24 hours before turning
off.
After 24 hours a previously sensed Fire/CO Alarm
can be indentified by using the alarm memory
function (see section 4).
What to do when the Alarms sounds
1.If there is a fire, immediately evacuate the premises
and telephone the fire brigade from outside.
If the Carbon Monoxide light is flashing, open doors &
windows while evacuating the premises. Telephone
the appropriate authorities to report a Carbon
Monoxide alarm has been activated.
2. When a Smoke/Heat alarm sounds and the cause
is not obvious, immediately press the 'Locate' switch.
This will silence all the alarms except those sensing
the fire.
3. Locate the alarm(s) sensing fire audibly.
careful, check doors are not warm and that there is no
sign of smoke before you open them (See escape
plan in Smoke Alarm instructions for further details).
4. If you are fully satisfied that there is no fire but the
Smoke/Heat alarm is still continuing to alarm then
press the 'Hush' switch.
The Remote Control Switch allows you to Locate,
Hush or Test units as follows:-
• Locate Switch – primarily used to identify the
Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm sensing fire/CO.
When all the alarms are sounding due to a fire/CO (or
nuisance alarm):
Press and release the spring loaded Locate switch.
The RF indicator red light will come on continuously
for 3 seconds to indicate that an RF signal is being
transmitted.
This will silence all the alarms except those sensing
Indicators
fire/CO.
This is a very useful feature. For example, consider
twelve alarms sounding simultaneously, then the unit
sensing the fire/CO can be identified audibly and the
premises evacuated or the problem quickly resolved.
• Hush Switch - used to silence nuisance alarms.
This should only be pressed after the Locate switch

that triggered the system, and it is determined that no
fire or CO is present.
