2. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing Ei3105RF or Ei3100RF
RadioLINK Smoke Alarms. You can easily install these
alarms throughout the house in closed rooms, corridors and
in the attic for the fastest response to developing fires.
Closed doors are great for slowing down the spread of fire,
but unfortunately they can also greatly slow down the
response time of alarms, as they block the smoke getting to
them. Without interconnection, closed doors also greatly
reduce the alarm sound level throughout the house, so even
though the fire is detected early, the alarm may not be heard.
The Ei3105RF/Ei3100RF RadioLINK Smoke Alarms offer the
comfort of interconnection without the hassle of installing the
interconnect wires. The wireless interconnect helps ensure
the alarm will be heard everywhere - including the bedrooms.
The wireless interconnect will operate as received once the
batteries are connected. To check operation, first connect all
the batteries (see section 1 para 2.) and then hold down the
test button on the first unit until the amber light comes on con-
tinuously for 3.5 seconds. All the other smoke alarms will
respond within 5 seconds. If there is any possibility of a
neighbour having a similar system, you should house code
your units so your system will not cause his/hers to alarm or
vice versa. This is easily done and only takes a few minutes-
(see section 6.0).
3. LOCATING YOUR SMOKE ALARMS
Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will
respond. Your Smoke Alarm needs to be within 10 paces (7.5
metres) of the fire to respond quickly. The smoke alarms need
to be in positions where they can be heard throughout your
home, so they can wake you and your family in time for every-
one to escape. A single Smoke Alarm will give some protec-
tion if it is properly installed, but most homes will require two
or more to ensure that a reliable early warning is given. For
recommended protection you should put individual Smoke
Alarms in all the rooms (apart from the kitchen) where fire is
most likely to break out.
Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleep-
ing area and the most likely sources of fire (living room or
kitchen for example). But it should not be more than 10 paces
(7.5 metres) from the door to any room where a fire might
start and block your escape from the house.
