Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing an Ei650 Series Alarm. You can easily install
these Smoke Alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each storey, in
corridors & in closed rooms to give warning of fire.
Models Ei650C and Ei650iC can be interconnected with hard wiring (or RadioLINK
plug-in modules) to give the loudest alarm sound level throughout the house.For
wireless interconnection add the RadioLINK plug-in module (This module must be
purchased separately).
Models Ei650W and Ei650iW can be wirelessly interconnected by adding the
RadioLINK plug-in module (This module must be purchased separately).
Models Ei650 and Ei650i are stand alone Smoke Alarms and cannot be
interconnected by either hardwire or RadioLink modules.
Note: Certain Smoke Alarms may be supplied (on request) with the appropriate
RF module fitted.
SMOKE ALARMS - Ei650 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 where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the kitchen and bathroom).

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the most
likely sources of fire (living room 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.
Multi-Storey Dwellings
If your home has more than one floor, at least one Smoke Alarm should be fitted on
each level (see Figure 1). Preferably the Smoke Alarms should be interconnected
so as to give sufficient warning throughout the property. RadioLINK plug-in modules
are ideal in this situation as the Smoke Alarms will then interconnect using Radio
Frequency (RF) signals - so no wiring is required.
Figure 1 illustrates where Smoke Alarms and Heat Alarms should be located in a
typical two storey house. Note the spacings as given in figures 1&2 which ensure
the early detection of fire and that the warning will be heard.
For additional protection, 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 kitchens
& bathrooms - see Section 3). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to
start 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 Smoke Alarms Can Be Heard
With the Smoke 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 Smoke 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 Alarms
must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 300mm from walls and corners

Figure 2
For minimum protection
- Smoke Alarm on each storey
- every 7.5 metres of hallways and
escape routes
- within 3 metres of all bedroom doors
- all Alarms interconnected (where
feature is present)
For recommended protection
(in addition to the above):
- Smoke Alarms in every room (except
kitchens and bathrooms)
- Heat Alarms located in kitchens,
garages etc. within 5.3m of potential
fire sources

Figure 1
(see Figure 3). Additionally, mount the alarm at least 300mm from any light fitting or
decorative object which might prevent smoke entering the Smoke Alarm.
We do not recommend wall mounting of Smoke Alarms.
On a Sloping Ceiling
With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke Alarm within 600mm of the peak
(measured vertically). If this height is less than 600mm it is regarded as being flat
(see Figure 4).
