5 INSTALLATION
5.1 GENERAL
The 230V
AC
mains supply for the RFIP should be derived from the main distribution board
in the residence. This supply circuit must be a dedicated circuit from the residence’s main
distribution board. In which case no other electrical equipment should be connected to this
circuit (other than a dedicated monitoring device installed to indicate failure of the mains
supply to the system), or
The system must be continuously powered, there should be no interposing switch that can
be used to turn off the system.
The mains supply to the Smoke / Heat Alarms must be derived from the main Termination
Board of the RFIP.
WARNING: Do not connect the Smoke / Heat Alarms to mains supply derived from an
inverter that provides for a square wave output e.g. solar panel conversion.
The Alarm must have a sinusoidal 230V
AC
supply.
WARNING: Do not megger the supply circuit to the alarms while the Alarms are
connected. If the circuit must be meggered, the Alarms and RFIP MUST be
removed prior to circuit testing.
Do not install the Alarms or RFIP in new or renovated buildings until all work is completed
(including floor coverings) and the building has been fully cleaned.
To avoid contaminating the Alarm, after checking operation of the Alarm, fit the protective
dust cover provided until required for use.
Note: Excessive dust and debris from building work can contaminate the smoke
chamber or heat sensor causing nuisance alarms or incorrect operation.
Contamination will invalidate the product guarantee.
Disconnect the AC mains supply to the system circuit at the main distribution board prior
to installation of the RFIP or Alarms. Do not attempt to open the Smoke / Heat alarms as
they are permanently sealed for safe.
5.2 SMOKE / HEAT ALARMS
5.2.1 Mounting
Mains powered Alarms must be installed and interconnected by a licensed electrician in
accordance with the regulations for electrical installation AS3000. Failure to install the
Alarm correctly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards.
The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted onto a rectangular junction box and
connected to the 230V
AC
50Hz mains supply from the RFIP. It requires a current of 40mA.
Select an appropriate location and position for the Alarm. The Alarm must not be exposed
to dripping or splashing. The selected location of the Alarm must comply with applicable
building regulations. Place EIBPLATE onto the surface and mark out the mounting screw
holes then remove the wiring cover (Figure 9) from the mounting plate to wire connections.
The standard mounting plate supplied with EIB160e series can only be used in 3 wire
systems. When EIB160e Smoke or Heat Alarms are intended to be used in Alarm 2000
application where the isolate feature is required, the standard mounting plates must be
