Make electrical connections as shown in
Figure 9.
Wiring must be installed in compliance with
local regulations.
In the UK it is recommended that the following
coloured cores are used (for example with
triple flat 6243YH cable).
230V supply : Brown
Neutral Grey : sleeved blue at terminations
Interconnect : Black
In the other countries consult the local
regulations as they are different from the UK
regulations.
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).
Alarms should be interconnected only within the confines of a single family living unit. If they are
connected between different units, there may be excessive nuisance alarms. Everybody may not be
aware that they are being tested or that it is a nuisance alarm caused by cooking etc.
The Alarm can also be RF interconnected to other RF Alarms and devices by installing an Ei3000MRF
SmartLINK Module. See the User manual for the Ei3000MRF for further details on RF interconnection.
It is also equipped to work in a hybrid system (combination of hard-wired and RF interconnected
Alarms and devices).
