1. Introduction
The Ei414 Fire / CO Alarm Interface can be used to connect Ei Electronics RadioLINK Alarm Systems to
suitable other Systems such as Fire Panels, Telecare Systems, Auto Diallers, Security Systems etc. The Ei414
has 3 output relays for Fire, CO & Service that can be triggered by an Ei Electronics RF Alarm System. These relays
can be directly connected to the other Systems or alternatively can be used to trigger one of the other Systems
RF transmitters. A RadioLINK system consists of Ei Electronics RadioLINK Smoke, Heat and CO Alarms along with
RadioLINK accessory devices that are interconnected using the Ei Electronics proprietary RF protocol system. The
Ei414 must be House Coded to the other RadioLINK devices in the system.

AC Mains Wiring (230V)
Warning: To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to
the wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
1. Remove the cover (see page 3). Mount the Ei414 in a suitable location
on a wall using the fixings provided, away from any objects that may
block the RF signal (i.e away from metal surfaces). The Ei414 may also be
mounted on a 35mm Din Rail. Mounting clips for this application must
be purchased seperately.
2. Disconnect the AC mains supply from the circuit that is going to be
used. The disconnect device (i.e mains switch) must be an all pole circuit
breaker, with a contact gap of minimum 3mm and disconnects both
poles simultaneously.
3. The house wiring must be connected to the terminal block on the unit:
L: Live – connect to the house wires coloured brown or marked L
N: Neutral – connect to the house wires coloured blue or marked N
E: Earth – connect to yellow/green wires or marked E
Note: Wiring must be installed in compliance with local regulations and
by qualified/competent personnel. 13

(See adjacent diagram for wiring option using surface trunking and
knockout segments on the back of the base. Remove segments using
a pliers or similar).
4. The green LED will indicate if power has been connected.
5. Ensure the Dip Switch has been set to the correct orientation (see
‘Dip Switch Operation section’).
6. Important: The backup battery switch must be switched on.
7. If using an RF Transmitter connect as advised by the manufacturer to
the relevant relay. Use the knockout segments on the back of the base.
Remove segments using a pliers or similar (See diagrams on page 15).
8. Fit and secure the top cover with the screws provided. (see page 3).
9. Insert and turn the key supplied to the ‘TEST’ position to begin
system testing (see ‘TESTING’ section).
For a 11-30V DC external source
1. The Ei414 should be located next to DC external source.
2. Locate the auxiliary power output in the DC external source and wire
it to the DC Power Input connector on the Ei414.
3. Check that the polarity of the auxiliary power supply has been wired
correctly and the power LED is on.

4. The trigger input voltage signal is optional
and can be triggered by either a 12-24V DC
power supply or alternatively from a dry
contact signal.
5. Repeat steps 5 to 9 as above.
Caution - Alternative Energy Sources –
(wind, solar, UPS etc.)
This product is designed to be connected
to a True Sine Wave 230VAC supply. If
connecting to a power source that uitilises
an inverter, e.g. PV solar panel, the Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD) must be
less than 5%. If in doubt please check
with the manufacturer of the inverter.
This also applies to battery powered UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) inverters
or Light Dimmer Circuits. The Ei414 must
not be connected when the house wiring
insulation is being checked with high voltages, i.e. do not use a high voltage insulation tester on the
unit. The unit must not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

DIP Switch Operation (for delayed transmission)
The Ei414 contains a dip switch which specifies whether the device will work in continuous mode or
through a pulsed operation. It is also used to delay the output action.
Please note: The dip switch only applies to the Fire and CO relays, it does not apply to the Service relay.

When in the ‘OFF’
position the Ei414 does
not respond to any RF
signals.
In the ‘ON’ position the
Ei414 responds to a fire
alarm signal (activates
the fire relay) or to a CO
alarm signal (activates
the CO relay).\
It will not respond to a
button test signal.
In the ‘TEST’ position the
Ei414 responds to a button
test signal (will activate
the fire or the CO relay
depending on the unit that
was button tested).
N.B. When testing the
system with an Ei450
Alarm Controller, only the
fire relay will activate.

4. House Coding
It is essential to House Code the Ei414 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.
To House Code:
Using a small screwdriver press and hold the House Code
button on the bottom of the Ei414 then release. The
RadioLINK blue LED will light up and then flash rapidly
for a moment.
House Code all other RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system.
Consult the instruction manuals on how to House Code the Alarms and
devices. It is essential that each individual Alarm / device is put into
House Code mode in it’s actual location.

Return to the Ei414 and check that RadioLINK LED is
flashing blue. The number of flashes should equal the
number of RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system. A
system with 2 x Smoke Alarms, 1 x CO Alarm, 1 x Alarm
Controller and 1 x Ei414 will result in 5 blue flashes. It
may take up to 10 minutes before all 5 flashes are seen.
The flash pattern will repeat every 5 to 10 seconds while
the Ei414 remains in House Code.
If it fails to flash the correct number of times, then
consult the ‘Troubleshooting’ section of this instruction
manual.
Now, walk around the house to verify that all the other
RadioLINK Alarms and devices are giving the correct
amount of flashes.
If any of these fail to flash the correct number of
times, then consult the ‘Troubleshooting’ 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 Alarms and
devices outside the House Coded group.
To manually exit House Code press the House Code button
on the Ei414. When the RadioLINK LED lights up blue,
release the button. This unit will then send an exit House
Code signal to all the other RadioLINK Alarms and 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 RadioLINK Alarms and devices in the system
this period could vary from 5 to 20 seconds.
