2. Location & Positioning

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing an Ei600 Series Alarm. You can easily install these

alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each storey, in corridors & in

closed rooms to give warning of fire.

The Heat Alarms can be installed in kitchens and other areas where Smoke Alarms

are unsuitable.

Models Ei605C/Ei603C/Ei605TYC & Ei603TYC can be interconnected with hard

wiring to give the loudest alarm sound level throughout the house.

All models (except Ei605 & Ei605TY) can be interconnected using the RadioLINK

plug-in modules (These modules must be purchased separately when they are not

supplied with the Alarm (see Table 1)).

Note: Certain alarms may be supplied (on request) with the appropriate RF module

fitted.

SMOKE ALARMS - Ei605 Series

Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will respond. Your Smoke

Alarm needs to be within 7.5 metres of the fire to respond quickly. Smoke Alarms

also need to be in positions where they can be heard throughout the property, so

they can wake you and your family in time for everyone to escape. A single Smoke

Alarm will give some protection if it is properly installed, but most homes will require

two or more (preferably interconnected) to ensure that a reliable early warning is

given. For recommended protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all

rooms (apart from kitchen and bathroom) where fire is most likely to break out.

B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 6

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the

most likely sources of fire (living room, kitchen for example), but it should not

be more than 7.5 metres from the door to any room where a fire may start and

block your escape from the house.

HEAT ALARMS - Ei603 Series

The Heat Alarm gives a fire warning when the temperature at the Alarm

reaches 58°C. It is ideal for kitchens, garages, boiler houses and other areas

where there are normally high levels of fumes, smoke or dust i.e. places where

Smoke Alarms cannot be installed without the risk of excessive nuisance

alarms. A Heat Alarm should only be used in rooms adjoining escape routes,

in conjunction with Smoke Alarms on the escape routes.

All Heat Alarms must be interconnected to the Smoke Alarms to ensure that

the early warning will be heard, particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly

designed early warning fire system ensures the alarm is given before the

escape routes become blocked with smoke. Therefore there must be Smoke

Alarms along the escape routes as Heat Alarms would not give sufficient

warning.

However, a fire in a closed room (e.g. kitchen) adjoining the escape route, can

eventually cause the corridor to become smoke-logged due to smoke leaking out

from around the door before adequate warning can be given by detectors in the

corridor. (Smoke leaking out from a room is often cool and slow moving so it can

take a long time to rise to the ceiling, and travel to a detector which could be

some distance away). A Heat Alarm in the closed room will give early warning of

fire in that room and help overcome this problem.

Location & Positioning

B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 7

Multi-Storey Dwellings

If your home has more than one floor, at least one Alarm should be fitted on each

level (see Figure 1). Preferably the units should be interconnected (if feature is

present on unit) so as to give sufficient warning throughout the property. RadioLINK

plug-in modules are ideal in this situation as the units will then interconnect using

Radio Frequency (RF) signals - so no wiring is required.

Figure 1 illustrates where Heat Alarms and Smoke Alarms should be located in a

typical two storey house. Note the spacings in “Protection Levels” which ensure the

early detection of fire and that the warning will be heard.

Locate Heat Alarms in rooms adjoining escape routes - kitchens, garages, boiler

houses etc. where Smoke Alarms are unsuitable. Install within 5.3m of potential

sources of fire.

Single Storey Dwelling

If the premises is one storey you should put your first Smoke Alarm in a corridor or

hallway between the sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to the living area as

possible, but make sure that it can be heard loudly enough in the bedroom to wake

someone. See Figure 2 for placement example.

In houses with more than one sleeping area, Smoke Alarms should be placed

between each sleeping area and the living area and it is recommended that Heat

Alarms should be placed in the kitchen & garage.

Recommended Protection

Fire authorities recommend you put individual Smoke Alarms in or near all rooms

where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid e.g

bathrooms - see Section 3). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to start

- within 3 metres of all bedroom doors

- all units interconnected (where

- Smoke Alarms in every room (except

kitchens and bathrooms)

- Heat Alarms located in kitchens,

garages etc. within 5.3m of potential

fire sources 9

at night, followed by the kitchen (where a Heat Alarm is recommended) and then

the dining room. Consideration should be given to installing Smoke Alarms in any

bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical

appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker.

In addition, consideration should be also given to installing Smoke Alarms in any

rooms where the occupant is unable to respond very well to a fire starting in that

room, such as an elderly or sick person or a very young child.

Checking Alarms Can Be Heard

With the Alarms sounding in their intended locations check that the alarm can be

heard in each bedroom with the door closed, above the sound of any TV/audio

systems. The TV/audio systems should be set to a reasonably loud conversation

level. If you cannot hear the alarm over the sound of the TV/audio system, the

chances are it would not wake you. Interconnecting the Alarms using either a hard-

wired interconnection (where the feature is present) or RadioLINK plug-in modules

will help to ensure that the alarm will be heard throughout the property.

Positioning

Ceiling Mounting

Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the recommended

location. The air is "dead" and does not move in corners, therefore Smoke & Heat

Alarms must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 0.3m from walls and

corners (see Figure 3). Additionally, mount the unit at least 0.3m from any light

fitting or decorative object which might prevent smoke or heat entering the

Smoke/Heat Alarm.

We do not recommend wall mounting these Smoke/Heat Alarms.
