The EIB3028 is a dual sensor Heat and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm. It contains a proven electrochemical
CO sensor to detect the presence of toxic levels of Carbon Monoxide as well as an independent fast
acting Class A1 Thermistor sensor to detect dangerous levels of heat. The combination of CO and
Heat detection makes it an ideal Alarm for kitchens, utility rooms and garages where fuel burning
appliances maybe installed.
The EIB3018 is a Carbon Monoxide Alarm which contains a proven electrochemical CO sensor to
detect the presence of toxic levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO). It is ideal for kitchens, garages, utility
rooms and other areas where fuel burning appliances maybe installed.
Up to 12 Alarms can be interconnected so that if one senses fire or dangerous levels of CO, all
Alarms sound. It can be a hardwired interconnection or a wireless interconnection (for the latter an
EIB3000MRF SmartLINK module needs to be added to each Alarm – sold separately)
The EIB3000 series is supplied with a base that allows very quick and simple installation of the Alarm
as it automatically connects both mains power and battery as the detector head slides onto the base.
Each Alarm comes with built-in rechargeable backup batteries to power the Alarm in the event of a
mains failure.
AudioLINK
The EIB3000 series Alarms are AudioLINK enabled. This feature allows the user to download
information from the Alarm through the use of a mobile App. For more information on using this
feature, please refer to the relevant section on www.eielectronics.com or www.brooks.com.au
