Introduction

This Alarm is intended to be used as a device that provides a

loud warning when it detects smoke/heat to alert people of an

immediate danger enabling them to evacuate their dwelling

promptly.

It must be installed in accordance with the latest standards and

is for indoor use only.

This device is mains powered with built-in battery back-up suitable

for use in residential applications. It can be interconnected by

hardwire or RF and must be installed and interconnected by

a qualified electrician.

This Alarm can only be used according to the instructions as

described in the user manual. All use other than that described

in the user manual is seen as unintended use.

Please read the user manual in full before installing or using the

Alarm.

Operating & Storage

Temperature -10°C to +40°C*

Humidity Range 15% to 95% RH (non-condensing)

* Temperature and Humidity conditions are for normal operation

and storage. The Alarms will function outside these ranges as

required by the specific product standards. Extended exposure

to conditions outside these ranges can reduce product life. For

advice on prolonged operation outside these range consult the

manufacturer.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Mains operated Alarms must be installed and

interconnected by a qualified electrician in accordance with

the local Regulations for Electrical Installations. Failure to

install this Alarm correctly may expose the user to shock or

fire hazards and damage the product.

The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted, using its own

built-in terminal block to connect it to the mains. The mounting

plate can be screwed directly to the ceiling. Alternatively, it can

be screwed to a standard junction box (BS 4662 single gang

accessory box). The Alarm must not be exposed to dripping or

splashing. There are important markings on the underside of the

Alarm.

ATTENTION:

Alternative Energy Sources - (Wind, Solar, UPS etc.)

This product is designed to be connected to a Pure or True Sine

Wave 230V AC supply.

If connecting to a power source that utilises an inverter, e.g. PV

solar panel, the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) must be less

than 5%. If in doubt please check with the manufacturer of the

inverter.

This also applies to battery powered UPS (Uninterruptible Power

Supply) inverters.

Light Dimmer Circuits – The Alarms must not be powered from

a light dimmer circuit.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTION: Do not install Alarms in new or

renovated buildings until all work is completed.

The Alarm must not be connected when the house wiring

insulation is being checked with high voltages. i.e. Do not use a

high voltage insulation tester on the Alarm.

ATTENTION: The Alarm must be continuously powered 24 hours

a day so it is important that it is not on a circuit that can be

turned off by a switch.

WARNING: Electrical installations must comply with local

regulations.

WARNING: An all-pole mains switch shall be incorporated in the

electrical installation of the building.

WARNING: Always test the Alarm after battery replacement

and only use recommended 9V Alkaline battery. Do not expose

battery to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, etc...

Mounting and Wiring

Disconnect the AC mains supply from the circuit that is going

to be used.

WARNING: to prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely

attached to the ceiling or wall in accordance with the installation

instructions.

Foam ceiling gasket

(must be in place)

wiring cover

Figure 1

Place the mounting plate exactly where you want to mount the

Alarm. With a pencil mark the location of the two screw holes. Taking

care to avoid any electrical wiring in the ceiling/wall, drill holes using

a 5.0mm drill bit through the centre of the marked locations. Push

the plastic screw anchors provided into the drilled holes.

Lift off the wiring cover using a flat head screwdriver as shown

in Figure 1.

The wiring must be connected to the terminal block on the

mounting plate as follows:

Country Live Neutral Interconnect Earth

Ireland Brown Blue White Green/

Yellow

UK Brown Blue Black Green/

Yellow

WARNING: Wiring must be installed in compliance with local

regulations.

WARNING: Mixing the Live and Neutral connections when

interconnecting Alarms may damage all the Alarms - ensure that

the same colours are used throughout the premises for Live,

Neutral and Interconnect wires.

We strongly recommend that you check for the following before

connecting the Alarm:

• check for Live and Neutral using a two probe tester.

• check for Live using a neon tester.

• check that the Interconnect wire is NOT connected to

Live, Neutral or Earth. Do not use an Earth wire for the

Interconnect line.

N.B. The Alarm does not need to be earthed. However the

terminal marked is provided for the convenience of the

installer so that any copper Earth wire or cable coloured green

and yellow, can be safely terminated.

4. If the mains wires are recessed, bring the wires through the

rear hole in the mounting plate as shown in Figure 2.

REMOVEABLE

TRUNKING DOOR FOR

Figure 2

If the mains wires are being brought along the surface:

(a) position the mounting plate so the cable trunking is as

shown in Figure 2.

(b) the mounting plate has a removable section, take it out to

interface directly with 25mm trunking as shown in Figure

3. If interfacing to 16mm trunking carefully cut around

the marked section, leaving the top intact and replace the

section. (If you are not using surface wiring, the removable

section must be left in place for electrical safety reasons).

There are two other positions which are also suitable for the

surface wiring to enter (and exit) the Alarm, one next to the

removable section and another directly opposite.

5. Screw the mounting plate into place. Connect the wires to the

terminal block. With recessed wiring, ensure the rear gasket

seals around the edge of the hole in the ceiling or wall. This is

to prevent air draughts affecting the smoke/heat entering the

Alarm. 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.

7. Attach the battery to the battery snaps.

8. Carefully line up the Alarm on the mounting plate and slide

on (see Figure 4).

9. Press and hold the Test/hush button for 10 seconds. The horn

will sound. On release of the button, the local Alarm will stop

sounding immediately and the interconnected Alarms will

stop sounding a few seconds later.

10. Connect the mains power to the Alarm circuit. The red LED

will flash once and the green LED will light up. Ensure the

green LED remains lit confirming that the Alarm is receiving

mains power.

Figure 4

Interconnecting Alarms

With interconnected Alarms, when one Alarm detects fire all will

sound. However, only Alarms detecting fire will have a flashing

red LED.

Heat Alarms must always be interconnected to Smoke Alarms to

ensure early warning.

WARNING: Do not hardwire interconnect mains powered

Alarms with low voltage or battery powered Ei Electronics

Alarms/devices or any other type of Alarm produced by another

manufacturer. Doing so may damage the Alarms and could result

in a shock or fire hazard.

To interconnect Alarms connect all the IC terminals together as

shown in Figure 6.

The interconnect wire (minimum 0.75mm2cable) 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).

Alarms should be interconnected only within the confines of a

single family living unit.

The Alarm can also be RF interconnected to other RF Alarms and

devices by installing an Ei168RC RF base.
