For an early warning in the event of a fire, install this smoke alarm on every floor in your building and in
escape routes, hallways and enclosed rooms to make sure you are protected against fire. Heat detectors
can be installed in kitchens and other areas where smoke alarms are not suitable (if these rooms are not
going to be used as escape routes).
The i series has been specially developed as a high-end, sophisticated product range. An integrated
microprocessor and the extra yellow diagnosis LED allow potential faults to be minimised during regular
maintenance, which means unscheduled servicing can be avoided.
The Ei650C and Ei650iC models can be wire-linked or interlinked wirelessly to form a network, ensuring
the alarm can be heard throughout the building in an emergency. Wireless interlinking requires special
radio models (Ei650M/Ei600MRF). The modules must be purchased separately. The Ei650W and Ei650iW
models can only be interlinked using radio modules.
The Ei650 and Ei650i models are stand-alone smoke alarms that cannot be interlinked using wires or
wirelessly (see table).

2.1 How smoke alarms and heat detectors work
Before a smoke alarm goes off, a sufficient amount of smoke must have entered the
smoke chamber. The smoke alarm should be located less than 7.5 m from the source of
the fire in order to respond quickly. The devices must be installed in locations where
they can be heard throughout the building, so that all inhabitants can wake up and
get out quickly in an emergency. A single smoke alarm can offer limited protection if
it is installed properly, but two or more alarms (preferably interlinked) are needed in
most houses to ensure that a warning is given quickly enough. For optimum protection,
a smoke alarm should be installed in every room in which a fire could break out (except
the kitchen and bathroom).
The first smoke alarm to be installed should be placed between the bedroom and the
most likely source of a fire (for example, the living room). It should be located no more
than 7.5 m from the door of a room in which a fire could break out and block the
escape route.
Heat detectors sound when the temperature on the heat detector reaches 58 °C.
They are recommended for use in kitchens, garages, boiler rooms and other areas in
which there is often a large amount of steam or dust. Smoke alarms cannot be installed
in these locations without the risk of repeated false alarms. A heat detector should only
be used in rooms that adjoin escape routes in which smoke alarms are installed.

2. Choosing a location
2.2 Location
First check what legal requirements there are in your federal state for installing smoke
alarms. Please refer to local building regulations for the exact requirements*. Fire
prevention experts recommend that smoke alarms should be installed at least in every
bedroom and every child’s room, as well as in the escape routes for these rooms (except
in unsuitable rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom).
Multi-storey homes
If there is more than one storey in your home (see Figure 1), at least one alarm should
be installed on every floor. Preferably, the alarms should be interlinked (if this function
is available on your device) so that the alarm sounds throughout the building. Radio
modules, which are easy to install, are ideal for this, as the alarms can be interlinked by
radio – no wires are needed.
For even better protection, you should install heat detectors in kitchens, garages, boiler
rooms, etc. Smoke alarms are not suitable for these rooms.
Heat detectors should be interlinked to the Smoke Alarms.
