3. Monitoring (Buddy System)
The Ei3000MRF SmartLINK Module facilitates a simple monitoring or buddy system between
the Alarms. The system must first be successfully house coded. Then to enable Monitoring,
hold the House Code Button of one Alarm only until the green LED lights solid (typically
takes about 12 seconds) and then release. Each Alarm will “pair” with the strongest signal
than it has received during the house coding process. When successfully paired the LED will
flash blue-green. If the LED flashes blue-red, then pairing has failed. Try re-orientating the
Alarm heads or adding extra RF devices to improve the range. Then re-house code the system
and re-start the monitoring process again. To exit Monitoring mode, hold the House Code
Button until the green LED lights solid and then release. Alternatively, it will automatically
exit monitoring mode after 30 minutes.
Monitoring is now enabled in the network. If a paired Alarm then loses the signal from its
buddy, it will flash red-blue for 10 minutes (this can also be seen after a button test).
To disable monitoring, hold the House Code Button until the red LED lights solid and then release.
Note: A monitoring failure does not necessarily mean that the RF signal cannot be propagated
through the RF mesh network. Multiple path communication, via the mesh architecture,
ensures that the signal could be propagated through alternative signal paths to ensure the
required communication.
4. Smart Sound Pattern
When installed as part of a RF interconnected system of Ei3000 series CO and fire alarms
only, all devices will sound using the appropriate alarm sound pattern for the alarm
event detected. For example, if a CO detection triggered the alarm, then all Ei3000 RF
