1. READ THIS FIRST

A Smoke Alarm is an early warning device. Used correctly it

can give you and your family valuable extra time to escape.

When the alarm sounds, immediately evacuate the premises

before beginning any investigation.

1. Install in the centre of the ceiling (if possible) using the

screws supplied (see section 5.0)

2. Connect battery: Connect battery snaps firmly (see figure

1a). Press the test button and horn should sound.

3. When the battery is first connected the Alarm may sound

for 2-3 seconds and/or the red light may flash quickly for 10

seconds - this is normal.

4. The wireless interconnect will operate as received once the

batteries are connected. We strongly recommend house

coding your alarms to prevent interference from

neighbouring systems (see section 6)

5. Test weekly.

6. Proper protection usually requires more than one Smoke

Alarm.

7. If theAlarm beeps without the red light flashing at the same

time then clean the unit, as this is the automatic test feature

indicating the chamber is degraded (Ei3105RF only).

8. A Smoke Alarm does not prevent fires.

9. Plan your escape route.

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 the smoke getting to

them. Without interconnection, closed doors also greatly

reduce the alarm sound level throughout the house, so even

though the fire is detected early, the alarm may not be heard.

The Ei3105RF/Ei3100RF RadioLINK Smoke Alarms offer the

comfort of interconnection without the hassle of installing the

interconnect wires. The wireless interconnect helps ensure

the alarm will be heard everywhere - including the bedrooms.

The wireless interconnect will operate as received once the

batteries are connected. To check operation, first connect all

the batteries (see section 1 para 2.) and then hold down the

test button on the first unit until the amber light comes on con-

tinuously for 3.5 seconds. All the other smoke alarms will

respond within 5 seconds. If there is any possibility of a

neighbour having a similar system, you should house code

your units so your system will not cause his/hers to alarm or

vice versa. This is easily done and only takes a few minutes-

(see section 6.0).

3. LOCATING YOUR SMOKE ALARMS

Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will

respond. Your Smoke Alarm needs to be within 10 paces (7.5

metres) of the fire to respond quickly. The smoke alarms need

to be in positions where they can be heard throughout your

home, so they can wake you and your family in time for every-

one to escape. A single Smoke Alarm will give some protec-

tion if it is properly installed, but most homes will require two

or more to ensure that a reliable early warning is given. For

recommended protection you should put individual Smoke

Alarms in all the rooms (apart from the kitchen) where fire is

most likely to break out.

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleep-

ing area and the most likely sources of fire (living room or

kitchen for example). But it should not be more than 10 paces

(7.5 metres) from the door to any room where a fire might

start and block your escape from the house.

3.1 Single Storey Dwelling.

If your Home is on one level (a bungalow or mobile home for

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 fires.

Recommended locations, Figures 2, 3, & 4

for minimum protection

• on each storey

• in each sleeping area

• every 7.5 metres of hallways & rooms

• within 3 metres of all bedroom doors

• all units interconnected

for recommended protection

in addition

• in every room (except bathrooms and kitchens)

Figure 2: Single storey dwelling

Figure 3: Single storey dwelling with separate sleeping areas

In houses with more than one sleeping area, Smoke Alarms

should be placed between each sleeping area and the living

area (for example, see figure 3).

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 place for a fire to start at night, fol-

lowed by the kitchen and then the dining room. You should

also consider putting Smoke Alarms in any bedrooms where

fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical

appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the

occupant is a smoker. You could also consider putting Smoke

Alarms in any rooms where the occupant is unable to respond

very well to a fire starting in the room, such as an elderly or

sick person or a very young child.

Figure 4: Multi Storey Dwelling

3.4 Checking you can hear your Smoke Alarms

With the Smoke Alarms sounding in their intended locations,

check you are able to hear them in each bedroom with the

door closed, above the sound of your Audio/TV Systems. The

Audio/TV systems should be set to a reasonably loud conver-

sation level. If you can’t hear it over your radio the chances

are that it wouldn’t wake you. This Wireless Smoke Alarm will

help to ensure the alarm will be heard through-out the house.

4. POSITIONING YOUR SMOKE ALARM

4.1 On a ceiling

Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position

is the recommended location. The air is “dead” and does not

move in corners, therefore Smoke Alarms must be mounted

away from corners. Place the unit at least 0.30m from any

light fitting or decorative object which might obstruct smoke

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).

4.3 On a sloping Ceiling

In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke

Alarm 0.90m from the highest point measured horizontally

(see figure 6), because “dead air” at the apex may prevent

smoke from reaching the unit.

4.4 Locations to Avoid

Don’t place your Smoke Alarm in any of the following areas:

• Bathrooms, kitchen, shower rooms, garages or other rooms

where the smoke alarm may be triggered by steam,

condensation, normal smoke or fumes.

• Attics or other places where extremes of temperature may

occur (below 4°C or above 40°C).

• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window molding

etc., that may prevent smoke from entering the Smoke

Alarm.

• Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of

the room (for example attic hatches, uninsulated exterior

walls etc). Temperature differences might stop smoke from

reaching the unit.

• Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents,

windows, wall vents etc. that can change the direction of

airflow.

• In very high or awkward areas where it may be difficult to

reach the alarm for testing or battery replacement.

• Locate unit at least 1.5m away from fluorescent light fittings

as electrical “noise” and/or flickering may affect the unit.

• Locate away from very dusty or dirty areas as dust build-up

in the chamber can make unit too sensitive and prone to

alarm.

It can also block the insect screen mesh and prevent smoke

• Do not locate in insect infested areas. Small insects getting

in to the chamber can cause intermittent alarms.

1. Pull cover open at tab. Remove cover from base by sepa-

rating at rear snap-in hinges by rotating cover backwards.

2. Place the base on ceiling or wall exactly where you want to

mount the unit. With a pencil, mark the location of the screw

holes.

3. Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the ceiling or

wall, drill a hole through the centres of the marked locations.

Push the plastic Screw Anchors provided into the drilled

holes. Screw in firmly.

(b) Connecting the battery

The battery is easily removed from the holder by holding back

one of the plastic clips while lifting the battery with the other

hand.

Snap Battery Connectors to Battery. They fit together only one

way.

Gently push Battery into Battery Holder

With a pencil, write the date of battery installation on the

inside of the cover to remind you when to replace the battery.

To close the cover match up snap-in hinges and gently press

together until base and cover snap together. Test the installed

Smoke Alarm - see section “Manually Testing your Smoke

Alarm”.

NOTE: You may hear a loud chirp when attaching the Battery

Connectors to the Battery.

Battery Missing indicator

The unit is fitted with a warning flag which pops up when the

battery is removed. This prevents the cover from closing when

there is no battery in the unit. When the battery is being

installed or changed, this flag must be held down while gently

pushing the Battery into the Battery Holder. (Figure 8).

7.Check the radio link interconnection by holding the test but-

ton down until the amber light has come on continuously – this

indicates that the alarm is now transmitting radio link signals.

You should now be able to hear the other alarm(s) in the dis-

tance. If you do not hear the other alarm(s) then you may

need to rotate/resite the alarm (see section 5.2 below).

Figure 8

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 smoke alarms.

Accordingly, one or more smoke alarms may have difficulties

in communicating to all the other units in the system.

If, when checking the radio link interconnection, some of the

alarms do not respond to the button test, then you will need to

rotate / re-locate the units. There are a number of reasons

why the radio link signals may not reach all the smoke alarms

in your system (see section 10.2 on “Limitations of Radio

Frequency Signals”). However, you should try re-locating the

smoke alarms (e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or

wiring) or rotating the smoke alarms.

Rotating and/or re-locating the smoke alarms may move them

out of the range of existing smoke alarms even though they

may have already been house coded correctly in the system.

It is important therefore to check that all detectors are com-

municating in their final installed positions. If smoke alarms

are rotated and/or resited, we would recommend that all the

smoke alarms are returned to the factory settings and then

house coded again in their final positions (see section 6.0).

The radio link interconnection should then be re-checked

again.

6. HOUSE CODING YOUR ALARMS

House coding your alarms will prevent neighbouring alarm

systems from setting off your own alarms and vice versa. The

house coding process changes the radio signal from the

common factory signal to a unique radio code for each unit.

6.1 House Code Procedure

Ensure that the battery is connected to all alarms before

beginning the house code procedure

1. Pull cover open at tab. Press the house code switch and

hold until the amber light comes on and then release. The

amber light will then flash rapidly for about 1 second to indi-

cate the unit is now in the house code mode (see fig 9&9a).

2. Similarly press and hold the house code switch on the sec-

ond installed unit until its amber light comes on and then

release. Put all the remaining alarms into the house code

mode in the same manner.

3. When in the house code mode, the amber light will flash a

number of times every 5 seconds to indicate:

(a) the alarm is in house code mode and

(b) the number of units that have been identified as being part

of your system.

For example with 3 alarms in your system, you should see 3

amber light flashes every 5 seconds, with 4 alarms in your

system you should see 4 amber light flashes and so on. The

maximum number of light flashes that can be seen is 12, even

though more alarms may be house coded in your system.

(Please note that during the house coding process one alarm may

sound for 1 minute.)

Check that the number of amber light flashes corresponds to

the number of units in the system. If not see section 5.2.

4. The units will stay in house code mode for 15 minutes and

then reset automatically.Alternatively they can be taken out of

house code mode quickly by pressing and holding the house

code switch until the amber light comes on again. The amber

light will go out immediately when the switch is released, indi-

cating that the alarm is no longer in house code mode.

(Note: The Wireless Alarms can be returned to the originally factory

settings by pressing and holding the house code switch on until the

amber light flashes slowly. This will take about 6 seconds. This can-

cels the house code mode.

Additional Wireless Smoke Alarms can be added to the sys-

tem at any time. Simply put all the units, the additional units

and those previously installed, into the house code mode at

the same time.

7. TESTING AND MAINTAINING YOUR

SMOKE ALARMS

Your smoke alarm is a life saving device and should be regu-

larly checked. Regularly check that the red light on the smoke

alarm flashes once a minute to show the units are powered.

Replace the smoke alarm if the flashing stops.
