Product Description
The Ei161RC is an Ionisation Smoke Alarm that runs on 230V AC
mains power, and has built in tamper proof Lithium cells that act as
a battery back up in the event of mains failure. These rechargeable
Lithium cells are designed to have a ten-year life and outlast the life
of the smoke alarm itself, whilst providing up to six months of
smoke alarm operation without mains power.
The alarm gives a fire warning when adequate smoke enters the
alarm.
The alarm is supplied with the Easi-fit base that allows very quick
and simple installation of the smoke alarm, combined with simple
alarm head removal and replacement. The Easi-fit base automatically
connects both mains power and battery as the detector slides on.
The alarm allows the detector to be controlled remotely by either a
“Test, Silence and Locate” Switch (Ei1529RC) or a Manual Call Point
(MCP401RC). If the alarm is also connected to other Ei ‘RC’ mains
powered alarms then the whole system can be controlled remotely.
Up to 20 alarms can be interconnected.
The alarm has other advanced features such as built in circuitry to
aid suppression of voltage transients and RF interference to further
reduce the chances of false alarms under such conditions.
Operation
• The green indicator will illuminate to show mains power is
present
• The red indicator will flash every 40 seconds to show that the
detector has performed an automatic self test
• The red indicator will flash rapidly to show an alarm condition
for the alarm that has triggered
• The “Test/Hush” button will either silence false alarms (if
briefly pressed) or to perform a self test (if pressed and held)
• In “Test” mode the alarm will perform a self test and sound the
horn
• In “Hush” mode the alarm enters a ten-minute period of
reduced sensitivity to overcome false alarm conditions. It will
then automatically reset itself
• When interconnected to other Ei mains powered alarms, an
alarm on one detector will trigger all other interconnected
alarms (only the triggered alarm will flash a red indicator)
• The smoke detector will emit a beep every 40 seconds to
indicate that the battery backup is depleted and needs
recharging
