RF Interconnection

The Ei160e series is supplied with an 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 to the Easi-Fit base.

Up to 12 Smoke/Heat Alarms can be interconnected so 
that when one senses fire all the units alarm.

Interconnection can be achieved by hardwire or through 
a modular RF module, the Ei100MRF, which can be 
inserted into the base of the Alarm.

A green LED indicates the presence of mains power. A 
red LED will flash rapidly in an alarm scenario.

All Alarms feature a combined Test/Silence (> <) button.

The “> <” button will either silence false alarms or 
perform a unit self-test.

In “Test” mode the Alarm will perform a self-test and 
sound the horn. 

In “Silence” mode the Alarm will be silenced for a period 
of approximately ten minutes to overcome false alarm 
conditions. It will then automatically reset itself.
