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 the mounting plate in the centre of the ceiling (if pos-

sible) using the screws supplied (see section 5.0)

2. Connect battery:

§Model Ei405 - connect battery snaps firmly (see figure 1a).

Press the test button and horn should sound.

§Model Ei405TY — sliding the unit on to the mounting plate

will connect the batteries (see figure 1b). Press the test but-

ton 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

Figure 1a : Attaching battery to the battery snap on Ei405

B15026/R0/RF/UC/ENG/405 1/3/04 5:05 PM Page 2

coding your alarms to prevent interference from neighbour-

ing systems (see section 6)

5. Test weekly.

6. Model Ei405 - When the Alarm beeps and the red light

flashes at the same time replace the battery (see figure 7 to

remove unit from the mounting plate).

7. Model Ei405TY - When the Alarm beeps and the red light

flashes at the same time or the blue light flashes every 9

seconds it indicates the battery is depleted and the entire

alarm must be replaced. This normally occurs after 10

years has elapsed (see figure 7 to remove unit from the

mounting plate).

8. Proper protection usually requires more than one Smoke

Alarm.

9. If the Alarm 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.

10. A Smoke Alarm does not prevent fires.

11. Plan your escape route.

12. If you have any doubt or query about Smoke Alarms con-

sult the supplier or your local Fire Brigade.

2. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing Ei405 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 Ei405 RadioLINK Smoke Alarms offer the comfort of

interconnection without the hassle of installing the intercon-

nect wires. The wireless interconnect helps ensure the alarm

will be heard everywhere - including the bedrooms.

Figure 1b: Attaching smoke alarm to the mounting plate

B15026/R0/RF/UC/ENG/405 1/3/04 5:05 PM Page 3

The wireless interconnect will operate as received once the

batteries are connected. To check operation, first connect all

the batteries (see figure 1) and then hold down the test button

on the first unit until the blue light comes on continuously 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 sys-

tem will not cause his/hers to alarm or vice versa. This is eas-

ily done and only takes a few minutes- (see section 6.0).

A remote control Ei410 is available to allow you to test and

hush the alarms, without having to reach up to the smoke

alarms on high ceilings. The remote control also has a

"Locate" button to identify the unit causing the alarm - this is

excellent, particularly at night, as it rapidly identifies where the

fire is located. This is ideal for larger systems, as the distur-

bance in the house can be kept to a minimum e.g. no need to

enter all the bedrooms to check to see if the red light is flash-

ing rapidly (indicates that the unit is detecting smoke).

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 you

all to escape. A single Smoke Alarm will give some protection

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

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

ommended protection you should put individual Smoke

Alarms in all the rooms (apart from the kitchen, where heat

alarms should be used) 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.

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 Ei405/405TY

RadioLINK Smoke Alarms are ideal in this situation as they

are automatically interconnected without wiring.

(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.

3.4 Checking you can hear your Smoke Alarms

With the Smoke Alarms sounding in their intended locations,

check you are able to hear it 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. These RadioLINK Smoke

Alarms 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

B15026/R0/RF/UC/ENG/405 1/3/04 5:05 PM Page 6

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, con-

densation, 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 on Ei405

model.

§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 from entering the chamber.

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

in to the chamber can cause intermittent alarms.

5. INSTALLING YOUR SMOKE ALARMS

We recommend that up to 12 smoke alarms can be intercon-

nected with the radio link. We strongly recommend that all

alarms are house coded during the installation (see section

6).

5.1 Installation Procedure

1. Select a location complying with the above advice.

2. Remove the mounting plate from the Smoke Alarm. If it has

been latched release the tamperproof catch with a small

screwdriver, as shown in figure 7, and slide the alarm from the

mounting plate.

3. Place the base on the ceiling/wall exactly where you want

to mount the unit. With a pencil, mark the location of the two

screw holes.

4. It may be necessary to rotate/resite units to maximise the

radio link signals (see section 5.2). Consequently we advise

to use only one screw initially. Taking care to avoid any elec-

trical wiring in the ceiling, drill one hole through the centre of

one of the marked locations. Push the plastic screw anchors

provided into the drilled hole. Screw in firmly. The second

screw may then be used to securely fix the alarm in place

after the radio link interconnection is verified.

5. Connect the battery to the battery snaps as shown in figure

1a (model Ei405 only).

6. Carefully line up the unit on the base and slide on as shown

in figure 1b. (This connects the batteries in the Ei405TY

Smoke Alarm).

7. Press the test button on each alarm to ensure that the

smoke alarm works (see figure 8).

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

Figure 7: Removing the smoke alarm from the mounting plate

B15026/R0/RF/UC/ENG/405 1/3/04 5:05 PM Page 8

ton down until the blue 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 resite/rotate the alarm (see section 5.2 below).

9. 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 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 smoke alarms 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

either:

(i) convert one of the central units into a Repeater (see sec-

tion 6.2)

(ii) re-locate/rotate 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 9.2 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.

Re-locating and/or rotating 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 resited and/or rotated, 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 fac-

tory default signal to your own unique radio code.

6.1 House Code Procedure

Ensure that the battery is connected to all alarms before

B15026/R0/RF/UC/ENG/405 1/3/04 5:05 PM Page 9

beginning the house code procedure

1. Insert a small screwdriver into the vertical slot in the base

to turn on the house code switch (see figure 9) and hold until

the blue light comes on. The blue light will then flash rapidly

for about 1 second to indicate the unit is now in the house

code mode.

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

ond installed unit until its blue light comes on. Put all the

remaining alarms into the house code mode in the same man-

ner.

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

number of times every 5 seconds to indicate that:

(a) the alarm is in house code mode and

(b) the number of units that have been identified in your sys-

tem.

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

blue light flashes every 5 seconds, with 4 alarms in your sys-

tem you should see 4 blue light flashes and so on. You will

also see a light flash for a remote control keyfob (Ei410) if this

is also placed in house code mode at this time. The maximum

number of light flashes that can be seen is about 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.)

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 blue

light comes on again. The blue light

will go out immediately when the

switch is released, indicating that

the alarm is no longer in house code

mode.

Note: The RadioLINK Alarms can be returned to the originally factory

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

blue light flashes slowly. This will take about 6 seconds.

Additional RadioLINK Smoke Alarms (and/or a Remote

Control Ei 410) can be added to the system at any time.

Simply put all the units, the additional units and those previ-

ously installed, into the house code mode at the same time.

6.2 Setting up an Ei405 or Ei405TY as a Repeater Unit

In the normal installations (single storey and two-storey hous-

es), the signal range should be sufficient to activate the
