The EIB3000MRF SmartLINK Module is the next generation RF module from Brooks designed
to fit in the EIB3000 series, Easi-fit mains powered Alarms.
The primary function of the EIB3000MRF is to wirelessly interconnect all Brooks Alarms in
a system by means of an RF signal i.e. when one Alarm senses a fire event, the EIB3000MRF
module fitted to that Alarm will transmit an RF signal that will activate the sounders in all
other RF Alarms in the system.
Other features include:
• Remote House coding, to reduce installation time for Alarm additions to existing sites.
• Data Extraction, to collect important information on the Alarm status, including
activations, tests, CO levels, faults etc.
• Monitoring (buddy system) where the strongest RF signal paths are selected between a
pair of devices as a means to monitor the RF connection.
The EIB3000MRF module is simply plugged into the rear of the base of an EIB3000 series
Alarm. RF communication via this module eliminates the need to install long interconnect
wires between all the Alarms on different floors in different rooms. The EIB3000MRF is
powered from the Alarm it is connected to.
The module also has “multiple repeater” transmission – this provides multiple signal paths
to create a robust RF ‘mesh’ system and also increase the RF range.
