Install the Ei450 mounting plate at an accessible point on the wall 1.4M
+/- 200mm from floor level. If it intended for a disabled person to operate
the controller, an alternative mounting location should be considered.
Also consider security and chose a location where it will not be
accidently or otherwise operated.
Turn on the system by sliding the switch to the on position.

All RadioLINK devices, Smoke Alarms, CO Alarms, control switches,
etc. in the system must be put into house code. For instructions on how
to house code the Ei450 controller, see the “House Code” section of
this manual.
For instructions on house coding the other devices please refer to their
individual manuals.
Repeat this procedure for all Alarms and RadioLINK devices in the
system.

It is essential to House Code the Ei450 i-controller to all the other
RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system to ensure they will
not communicate with nearby systems. Failure to house code the
system may also result in a system malfunction.
Press and hold the House Code switch on the back of the
controller until all segments light up blue, then release. The
segments will flash rapidly for a moment on entering house code
(H CODE).
House code all other RadioLINK Alarms and accessories in the
system. Consult the instruction manuals on how to house code
these devices.

Return to the Ei450 i-controller and check that all 4 segments
(ring) are flashing blue. The number of flashes should
equal the number of RadioLINK devices in the system.
A system with 3 smoke alarms, one CO alarm and the
i-controller will result in five blue flashes.
The flash pattern will repeat every 5 to 10 seconds while the
i-controller remains in house code.
If it fails to flash the correct number of times, then consult the
“TroubleshootingtheRFlink” sectionof thisinstruction manual.
Now, walk around the house to verify that all the other
RadioLINK Alarms and RadioLINK devices are giving the correct
amount of flashes.
If any of these fail to flash the correct number of times,
then consult the “Troubleshooting the RF link” section of this
instruction manual.
To complete the commissioning, the system must exit house
code mode.

The units will automatically exit house code after 30 minutes. Once
coded the system will not communicate with any other RadioLINK
devices outside the house coded group.
To manually exit house code press the house code button on the
back of the Ei450 switch. When all the segments light up blue,
release the button. This unit will then send a “Cancel” signal to all
the other RadioLINK devices to exit House code.
After a short period the blue light will turn off and the system will
return to standby mode (normal). Depending on the number of
Alarms and RadioLINK devices in the system this period could vary
from 5 to 20 Seconds.
If you choose to make the switch tamper proof remove the pip
(plastic post) using a pliers or similar tool.
