    B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 6 2. Location & Positioning Introduction Congratulations on purchasing an Ei600 Series Alarm. You can easily install these alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each storey, in corridors & in closed rooms to give warning of fire. The Heat Alarms can be installed in kitchens and other areas where Smoke Alarms are unsuitable.
  • Page 7 B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 7 Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the most likely sources of fire (living room, kitchen for example), but it should not be more than 7.5 metres from the door to any room where a fire may start and block your escape from the house.
  • Page 8 B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 8 Multi-Storey Dwellings If your home has more than one floor, at least one Alarm should be fitted on each level (see Figure 1). Preferably the units should be interconnected (if feature is present on unit) so as to give sufficient warning throughout the property. RadioLINK plug-in modules are ideal in this situation as the units will then interconnect using Radio Frequency (RF) signals - so no wiring is required.

Consideration should be given to installing Smoke Alarms in any bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker.
  • Page 11 B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 11 On a Sloping Ceiling With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke Alarm within 600mm of the peak or a Heat Alarm within 150mm of the peak (measured vertically). If this height is less than 600mm for Smoke Alarms or 150mm for Heat Alarms the ceiling is regarded (see Figure 4).
  • Page 12 B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 12 • Do not locate in insect infested areas. Small insects getting into the smoke detector chamber can cause intermittent alarms. DON’T place Heat Alarms in any of the following areas: • Bathrooms, shower rooms or other rooms where the unit may be triggered by steam or condensation.

  • Page 23 The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in the construction of Ei Electronics Alarms to minimise the effects of contamination. However it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up.
  • Page 24 B16301-R3-Ei600 SERIES-U&C.qxd 28/6/10 12:10 PM Page 24 In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the alarm to sound. If this happens the Smoke Alarm must be returned for servicing or replacement. Contamination is beyond our control, it is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear.
