Product Description
The Ei161RC is an Ionisation Smoke Alarm that runs on
230V AC mains power, and has built in tamper-proof
rechargeable Lithium cells that act as a battery back-up in
the event of mains failure. These rechargeable Lithium cells
are designed to have a ten-year life and outlast the life of the
smoke alarm itself. They provide up to six months of smoke
alarm operation without mains power.
The Ei161RC also has Remote Control capability - allowing
the detector to be controlled remotely from a Control Switch
(Ei1529RC). This then allows remote Test, Locate and Hush
functions to be performed. If the Ei161RC is also
interconnected to other Ei „RC‟ mains powered alarms, then
the whole system can be controlled remotely. Up to twelve
alarms can be interconnected which will cause all alarms to
sound when one unit senses smoke/heat. A Manual Call
Point (MCP401RC) is also available.
The Ei161RC is supplied with the Easi-fit base that allows
very quick and simple installation of the smoke alarm,
combined with simple detector head removal and
replacement. The Easi-fit base automatically connects both
mains power and battery as the detector head slides on.
The Ei161RC has other advanced features such as built in
circuitry to aid suppression of both voltage transients and
radio-frequency interference to further reduce the chances of
false alarms.
Operation
The green indicator will illuminate to show mains power is
present
The red indicator will flash every 40 seconds to show that
the detector has performed an automatic self test
The red indicator will flash rapidly to showan alarm
condition for the smoke detector
The “Test/Hush” button will either silence false alarms (if
briefly pressed) or perform a smoke chamber test (if
pressed and held)
In “Test” mode the alarm will perform a smoke chamber
test and sound the horn
In “Hush” mode the alarm enters a ten-minute period of
reduced sensitivity to overcome false alarm conditions. It
will then automatically reset
When interconnected to other Ei mains powered alarms, an
alarm on one detector will trigger all other interconnected
alarms (only the triggered alarm will flash a red indicator)
The smoke alarm will emit a beep every 40 seconds to
indicate that the battery back up is depleted and needs
recharging
