1. INTRODUCTION

 

This leaflet describes the installation of the EIB170RFAU and its integration into a total RadioLINK Fire  

Alarm System, incorporating a choice of Smoke/Heat/CO Alarms and accessories.
N.B. It is essential that the EIB170RFAU is connected to the mains to preserve its one-week battery 

standby. Leaving the unit operating without mains connected will completely deplete the battery and 

possibly damage it. (If the EIB170RFAU is not being used for a prolonged period and cannot be left 

plugged in to the mains, then disconnect the battery).
Location

The Strobe Module should normally be fixed such that the internal strobe light can be seen from the bed, 

and the vibration pad can be placed under the mattress or pillow. It has to be powered from the mains 

(100-240VAC/50-60Hz) so a suitable socket must be available to which it can be permanently connected.

The back-up battery in the Strobe Module must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, 

heaters, fires or the like.
The associated RadioLINK Alarms and Accessories must be located and installed as described in 

their own instruction leaflets.
