2. INTRODUCTION
The Ei168RC RadioLINK Base transmits a Radio Frequency (RF) alarm signal
when the unit attached to it senses fire. When it receives an RF alarm signal from
another Ei168RC Base, the attached smoke or heat alarm will sound. It therefore
eliminates the need to run long interconnect wires between all the smoke/heat
alarms on different floors and in different rooms.
It is designed for use with ‘RC’ Mains Powered Smoke/Heat Alarms (Ei161RC,
164RC & 166RC). The base can also be used with Ei141, Ei144 & Ei146 Easi-fit
alarms provided that a Remote Control device (Ei410 or Ei411H) is not
used in the
system.
The RadioLINK Base, is mains powered and has rechargeable lithium cells for
back-up in the event of mains failure. The RadioLINK Base will normally be wired
to the nearest mains circuit in the ceiling (usually the lighting circuit, provided
unswitched live is available). The Smoke/Heat Alarm is then slid on to the
RadioLINK Base. Up to 12 units can be RF interconnected in this way.
It is essential
to House Code the RadioLINK Bases to ensure they will not
accidently communicate with nearby systems. This is easily done as
explained in Section 3 overleaf.
(As a safety feature the units will all communicate with each other (provided they are within range) as installed
i.e. without any House Coding. The repeater function is disabled when units are not House Coded).
Various optional RadioLINK accessories are available, including the Ei411H
Remote Control (for use with ‘RC’ alarms only). This wall-mounted device allows the
