2. Location & Positioning
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing an Ei650 Series Alarm. You can easily install
these Smoke Alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each storey, in
corridors & in closed rooms to give warning of fire.
Models Ei650C and Ei650iC can be interconnected with hard wiring (or RadioLINK
plug-in modules) to give the loudest alarm sound level throughout the house.For
wireless interconnection add the RadioLINK plug-in module (This module must be
purchased separately).
Models Ei650W and Ei650iW can be wirelessly interconnected by adding the
RadioLINK plug-in module (This module must be purchased separately).
Models Ei650 and Ei650i are stand alone Smoke Alarms and cannot be
interconnected by either hardwire or RadioLink modules.
Note: Certain Smoke Alarms may be supplied (on request) with the appropriate
RF module fitted.
SMOKE ALARMS - Ei650 Series
Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will respond. Your Smoke
Alarm needs to be within 7.5 metres of the fire to respond quickly. Smoke Alarms
also need to be in positions where they can be heard throughout the property, so
they can wake you and your family in time for everyone to escape. A single Smoke
Alarm will give some protection if it is properly installed, but most homes will require
two or more (preferably interconnected) to ensure that a reliable early warning is
given. For recommended protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all
rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the kitchen and bathroom).
