1. INTRODUCTION
This leaflet describes the installation of the Ei171RF and its integration into a total RadioLINK Fire
Alarm System, incorporating a choice of Smoke/Fire/Heat Alarms and Accessories.
N.B. It is essential that the Ei171RF 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 Ei171RF 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.
An additional strobe module can be then placed in any other living area of the house which can be readily
seen by the occupant. It has to be powered from the mains (230VAC) so a suitable socket or junction box
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.
2. INSTALLATION
