1 W ARNING DO NOT INST ALL THE ACTUAL SMOKE ALARM IN NEW OR RENOV A TED BUILDINGS UNTIL ALL WORK IS COMPLETED (INCLUDING FLOOR COVERINGS) AND BUILDING HAS BEEN FULL Y CLEANED. (Excessive dust & debris from building work can contaminate the smoke chamber and cause problems).
1. READ THIS FIRST A Smoke Alarm is an early warning device. Used correctly it can give you and your family valuable extra time to escape. ¥ Models Ei405 & Ei405C - connect battery snaps firmly (see fig 1b). Press the test button and horn should sound.
3 ¥ If the Alarm beeps without the red light flashing at the same time then clean unit as this is the automatic test fea- ture indicating the chamber is degraded. ¥ Plan your escape route. ¥ Proper protection usually requires more than one Smoke Alarm.
4 excellent, particularly at night, as it rapidly identifies where the fire is located. This is ideal for larger systems as the dis- turbance in the house can be kept to a minimum e.g. no need to enter all the bedrooms to check to see if the red light is flashing rapidly .
Figure 2 : Single storey dwelling Figure 3: Single storey dwelling with separate sleeping areas. In houses with more than one sleeping area, Smoke Alarms should be placed between each sleeping area and the living area (for example, see figure 3).
6 3.3 Recommended Protection For recommended protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all the rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid, mentioned below). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to start at night, followed by the kitchen and then the dining room.
7 4.3 On a sloping Ceiling In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke Alarm 0.9m from the highest point measured horizontally (see figure 6), because dead air at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit.
8 If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be neces- sary to re-locate the device away from the source of the fumes. If you installed the smoke alarms as received and did not pro- gram them, you may be receiving an alarm signal from a neighbouring system.
9 If the alarm fails to sound, follow this checklist: ¥ Check the age of the unit - see the replace by label on base of unit. ¥ Check the battery snaps are firmly connected on the Ei405 & Ei405C models (see fig 1b).
10 Program Procedure 1. Press the test button on the first installed unit three times within 1.5 seconds. The blue light will come on momentarily each time to show the button is operating. (If the horn sounds during these short button depressions, just ignore it).
11 Clear the serial numbers learned by: - disconnecting the battery - waiting 10 seconds - holding the test button down while re-connecting the battery snaps to the Ei405 & Ei405C only . With the Ei405TY & Ei405TYC models hold the test button down while sliding it on to the mounting plate.
12 The unit can be quickly removed from the program mode by holding down the T est & Locate buttons simultaneously . (The house coding can be removed, if necessary , from the remote control by first disconnecting the battery for 10 sec- onds and then reconnecting the battery while holding down both the T est & Locate buttons).
13 6.8 Automatic Self-T est The smoke chamber automatically tests itself every 40 sec- onds. If the chamber is degraded it will beep without the red light flashing at the same time.
14 (ii) Low Battery beeps (Model Ei 405TY & Ei405TYC only) The unit is giving a short beep every 40 seconds and the red light flashes at the same time for longer than 1 hour . (If the unit beeps without the red light flashing at the same time see Cleaning your Smoke Alarm above).
15 A maximum of 250 metres (820ft) of signal cable can be used, (maximum resistance between detectors 50 ohm). The units are interconnected by wiring all the terminals marked 1 together , and all the terminals marked 2 together (as in fig 8) before screwing the mounting plate to ceiling.
16 ¥ Constant exposure to high or freezing temperatures, high humidity or a high level of nuisance alarms may reduce the life of the battery . ¥ Nuisance alarms can be quickly silenced by fanning vigor- ously with a newspaper or similar to remove the smoke or press the test / hush button.
17 ¥ Smoke Alarms may not detect every type of fire to give suf- ficient early warning. They are particularly inef fective with: fires caused by smoking in bed, escaping gas, violent explosions.
18 8.2 FIRE SAFETY HINTS Store petrol and other flammable materials in proper contain- ers. Discard oily or flammable rags. Always use a metal fireplace screen and have chimneys cleaned regularly . Replace worn or damaged sockets, switches, home wiring and cracked or frayed electrical cords and plugs.
19 The Home Office states (in FB2): If your home has more than one floor , at least one alarm should be fitted on each level. In this case, a combination of Optical and Ionisation alarms, preferably interconnected, will give the best protection.
