Product Description
The EIB605C is an Photoelectric (Optical) Smoke Alarm
using the light scatter principle, giving a quick response
to all standard fires. It’s powered by a 9V replaceable
alkaline battery (supplied with the alarm)
The EIB605C is designed for simple installation,
commissioning and maintenance
The EIB605C has a large, easy to use, combined
Test/Hush button enables full testing of the alarm and
the ability to silence nuisance alarms.
The EIB605C has an innovative high performance optical
chamber with integral fixed insect screen reducing the
possibility of nuisance alarms.
The EIB605C maybe hardwire interconnected to twelve
battery powered alarms enabling all alarms to sound if
just one of the interconnected alarms should be
triggered.
The EIB605C modular design allows it to be upgraded
for functionality with the addition of the
EIB605MRF Radio frequency module.
Operation
!The smoke detector will activate the built in sounder
upon sensing smoke particles. It will automatically
reset and silence the alarm when the smoke
particles are no longer present in the chamber.
!The red indicating LED will flash once every 40
seconds to show that the alarm is powered and it
has performed an automatic self-test.
!The built in sounder will provide a minimum sound
output of 85dB at 3m.
!Pressing and holding the “Test/Hush” button will
perform a self test and sound the horn – checking
the chamber, electronics and horn.
!Momentarily pressing the “Test/Hush” button when
an alarm is sounding will set the alarm into “HUSH”
mode. This reduces the sensitivity for a period of 10
minutes, after which the alarm automatically resets –
providing control over nuisance alarms.
!The smoke detector will emit a beep every 40
seconds to indicate that the battery is near depletion
and needs replacing.

Installation & Placement
Alarms should be placed in accordance with the general guidelines shown in
the diagram above. These recommendations are based on the problem of
areas of “dead air” close to corners of rooms and apexes of ceilings, which
could result in the prevention of smoke reaching the smoke detector
Please consult the Instruction Leaflet supplied with the EIB605C for detailed
instructions as to how to correctly install and position the smoke detector
Important Precaution:
Do not install the actual smoke/heat
alarm itself in new or renovated
buildings until all work is completed
(including floor coverings) and the
building has been fully cleaned.
(Excessive dust and debris from
building work can contaminate the
smoke chamber and cause problems,
and it will also invalidate the guarantee).
If it must be installed, cover it
completely, particularly around the
edges, with a dust cover (eg. a plastic
bag), until all cleaning is finished..
