- Page 4 2. HOW MANY ALARMS TO INSTALL - CATEGORIES & GRADES - The advice here follows the guidance in British Standard BS 5839-Part 6: 2004 in general (for further information see the BS standard itself). The main reason for fitting Smoke & Heat Alarms in dwellings is to ensure that when there is a fire, sufficient early warning is given so that everybody can escape safely.
- Page 5 MINIMUM PROTECTION for existing dwellings Minimum Protection LD3: Smoke Alarms in all hallways, stairways and circulation areas that form part of the escape routes from the dwelling. Smoke Alarms located: on each storey every 7.5 m of hallways and escape routes within 3m of all bedroom doors (apart from toilets &...

- Page 7 OPTIMUM PROTECTION for dwellings where occupants may be at high risk (e.g. elderly) Optimum Protection LD1: As LD2, but in addition Smoke or Heat Alarms should be located in all rooms and other areas of the dwelling.

- Page 9 Improved Audibility The effectiveness of Category LD2 and LD3 systems can be significantly enhanced if an additional Smoke Alarm (interconnected) is installed in the master bedroom. This will help ensure that a responsible person will quickly be alerted to a fire and can arrange for an orderly evacuation of children and other vulnerable occupants.
- Page 10 is less than 600mm for Smoke Alarms or 150mm for Heat Alarms it is regarded as being flat (see Figure 2). 3.1 Locations To Avoid DON’T place Smoke Alarms in any of the following areas: • Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the smoke alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes.
- Page 11 Note: BS 5839-6 2004 gives the folowing recommendations regarding the mains supply to be used in a Grade D system (The Ei141/146 /161RC/166RC Smoke Alarms and Ei144/164RC Heat Alarms can be used in a Grade D system). The power supply for the Alarms should be derived from the public electricity supply to the dwelling.
- Page 12 (e.g. RadioLINK). (See BS 5839-6: 2004 for further information) Note: The Ei Electronics RadioLINK Base Ei168RC (for use with Ei161RC/164RC/166RC models only) can be used to eliminate interconnect wiring, make system extensions and provide simple and cost effective compliance with BS 5839-6: 2004.
- Page 13 If the hole is too large or the alarm does not seal it, it should be sealed with silicone rubber or equivalent. 6. Replace the wiring cover. Check the alarm battery is connected (Ei141/144/146 only).
- Page 14 The following is suggested: • A Smoke Alarm Locator Switch (model Ei159 for use with Ei141/144/146) or a Smoke Alarm Control Switch (model Ei1529RC for use with Ei161RC/164RC/ 166RC) should be incorporated into the system and be readily accessible to all occupants so that the source of an alarm can be quickly identified.
- Page 15 The interconnect wire (minimum 0.75mm 2 cable) must be treated as if it was Live. It should be insulated and sheathed. A maximum of 250 metres of wire can be used (maximum resistance between detectors 50 Ohms). These Smoke/Heat Alarms should be interconnected only within the confines of a single family living unit.
- Page 16 Also available is the Ei128RBU Relay Module which has battery back-up. Alarm Locator Ei159: (for use with models Ei141/144/146 only) The Smoke Alarm locator is recommended for systems with three or more Smoke / Heat Alarms as it helps quickly identify the unit in alarm and reduces the impact of nuisance alarms.
