Warning: Do not connect Carbon Monoxide Alarms and
Smoke / Heat Alarms on the same system without using an
Ei159 Locator Switch. The Ei159 Locator Switch will allow the
user to identify the source of the alarm (e.g. smoke or CO
gas). This is important because if the Carbon Monoxide Alarm
triggers the user must ventilate the premises. If the Smoke
Alarm triggers the user should close doors to slow down the
spread of fire.
Note 2: An alarm with battery back-up will continue to operate
during a mains failure but will not be able to switch the Ei128R
relay (the relay requires the 230 VAC to operate). However the
Ei128RBU relay will be able to switch during mains failure
because of its back-up cells.
Note 3: Devices connected to the relay contacts do not give a
warning until the contacts have switched for at least 200mSec.
