10. If you have any doubt or query about Smoke Alarms con- sult the supplier or your local Fire Brigade. 2. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing Ei3105RF or Ei3100RF RadioLINK Smoke Alarms. You can easily install these alarms throughout the house in closed rooms, corridors and in the attic for the fastest response to developing fires. Closed doors are great for slowing down the spread of fire, but unfortunately they can also greatly slow down the response time of alarms, as they block t

example) you should put your first Smoke Alarm in a corridor or hallway between the sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to the living area as possible, but make sure you can hear it loudly enough to wake you in the bedroom. (for exam- ple, see figure 2). If your bungalow is very large and the corridor or hallway is more than say 20 paces (15 metres) long, one Smoke Alarm will not be sufficient. This is because no matter where it is located it will be more than 7.5 metres from potential f

3.2 Multi Storey Dwellings If your home has more than one floor, at least one alarm should be fitted on each level (see figure 4). The Ei3105RF/Ei3100RF Wireless Smoke Alarm is ideal in this situation as they are automatically interconnected without wiring. 3.3 Recommended Protection Fire authorities recommend you put individual Smoke Alarms in or near all the rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid, mentioned below). The liv- ing room is the most likely

entering the Smoke Alarm. Keep at least 0.30m away from walls and corners (see figure 5). 4.2 Wall Mounting When a ceiling position is not possible (for example on a ceil- ing having exposed beams or joists, or built-in radiant heat- ing) put the top edge of your Smoke Alarm between 0.15m and 0.30m below the ceiling. Keep at least 0.30m from cor- ners (see figure 5). Figure 5 Figure 6 IDEAL IN CENTRE OF CEILING 0.15 to 0.3m DEAD AIR SPACES 0.9m (3 FEET) NEVER WITHIN 0.3m OF ANY CORNER 4.3 On

8. The units, as received, will transmit and receive the default RF signal. However, to avoid other neighbouring systems interfering with your alarms, we recommend that you “house code” your alarms. Install all the other alarms similarly. 5.2 If Radio Link is not working It is imperative that all smoke alarms in your system commu- nicate with each other. The number of walls, ceilings and metal objects in the radio link signal path reduces the strength of the radio link signals between the smok

7.1 Manually Testing your Smoke Alarm It is recommended that you test your Smoke Alarm at least weekly to be sure the units are working. It will also help you and your family to become familiar with the sound of the alarms. Figure 10 When you press the test button it simulates the effect of smoke during a real fire. So, there is no need to test the Alarm with smoke. Press and hold the Test Button until the alarm sounds (see fig- ure 10). The alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button

If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be neces- sary to re-locate the device away from the source of the fumes. If you installed the smoke alarms as received and did not house code them, you may be receiving an alarm signal from a neighbouring system. This can be easy rectified by “house coding” your alarms (see section 6). 1. To cancel a false alarm, press the test/hush button. The alarm will automatically switch to a reduced sensitivity condi- tion. This condition allows unwanted

the effects of contamination. However it is impossible to com- pletely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Smoke Alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the Smoke Alarm should be promptly removed. In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contam- ination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the alarm to sound. If this happens th

8.3 The alarms sound but the wireless interconnection does not work There are certain limitations on radio frequency signals (see section 10.2) and so, some alarms may not sound when the test button of a smoke alarm. Then; • Ensure you have held the test button down until the amber light has come on continuously (this could take up to 5 sec- onds). • House code all smoke alarms as described in section 6. • Rotate and/or resite the units – the signal strength may not be sufficient due to the d

clean the Smoke Alarm following instructions in this leaflet. • In the United Kingdom Ionisation Smoke Alarms can be dis- posed of in normal household refuse, but due to the tiny amount of radioactive material contained in the unit, no more than one alarm per dustbin. • In the Republic of Ireland Ionisation smoke alarms should be returned for disposal to the nearest address at the end of this leaflet. • Do not dispose of your alarm in a fire. 9.1 FIRE SAFETY HINTS Store petrol and other flammabl

SMOKE ALARM & RF LIMITATIONS 10.1 Limitations of Smoke Alarms Smoke Alarms have significantly helped to reduce the number of fire fatalities in countries where they are widely installed. However independent authorities have stated that they may be ineffective in some circumstances. There are a number of reasons for this: • Smoke Alarms will not work if

roll up fire ladders and stools without adult help. Make sure they know what to do if the alarm goes off. 10.2 Limitations of Radio Frequency Signals Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be considered: (i) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the h
