Whilst not sensitive to smoke, in a closed room with a vigorous fire this Alarm would
tend to ‘alarm’ faster than a Smoke Alarm in an adjacent hallway
Disadvantages
More expensive to produce
Not an early warning device, MUST always be interconnected to other Smoke
Alarms within the residence.
Brooks Models: EIB164e, EIB144RC and discontinued EIPFSTTL.
3.1.6 Visalert
Visalert is a visual warning device which can be interconnected with Brooks mains
powered Alarms e.g. EIB160e series, EIB140RC series and TL series (discontinued).
Visalert has a lead acid re-chargeable battery backup, a feature Brooks considers
essential. The battery provides the necessary standby power so that the Alarm is still
capable of providing a warning even if the 230 Volt mains supply fails (i.e. electrical fire).
As the intense strobe light provides the warning for the hearing impaired person, this
should be battery backed for the same reason.
Visalert can be placed in both the bedroom and living areas. The hearing impaired will be
alerted whether in bed or watching television.
For more details refer to Brooks Technical Datasheet TDS020
Keep both battery negative and neutral soldered together if the isolate feature is not used.
Separate them if the isolate feature is required. The wiring in Error! Reference source
ot found. shows with the isolate feature.
To identify the battery negative and neutral in the Visalert plug and harness, Figure 4
shows the plug and the arrangement of the four wires. Carefully separate the two blue
wires (neutral and battery negative) as shown in Figure 4 and connect to the field wiring.
