1. INTRODUCTION
Pressing on the Ei407 Manual Call Point (Manual Call Point) black spot
causes all Alarms on RadioLINK Bases and RadioLINK Alarms to
sound. This informs the occupants that the building must be evacuated.
The Ei407 Manual Call Point also provides a means to test the
Alarms without having to reach up to the Alarms on the ceilings, as it
can be reset with the plastic key (supplied).
We suggest that the plastic key is mounted on a small nail under or
alongside the Manual Call Point for future use when resetting (as
shown above).
2. INSTALLATION
It is recommended that you install all the other RadioLINK Bases /
Alarms and any other RadioLINK components before installing this
Manual Call Point.
All RadioLINK units should be located in their final positions before
House Coding commences.
1. The Manual Call Point should be positioned (approx) 1.2 meters high
on a wall, in a suitable location on an exit route (avoid locating near
metal objects).
2. Securely attach the mounting box to the wall using the fixing
screws supplied.
3. Remove the bottom housing by first pushing in the forked end of
the key (with arrow side out) into the two slots (see Figure 1). The
bottom housing should drop down by about 10mm and expose the
yellow edge on the top of the white element (with the black spot).
Remove the key, pull the bottom housing down and then lift it up to
remove (see Figure 2).
4. Next remove the white element by lifting the lower edge (see
Figure 3).
5. Connect the built-in battery by sliding the
battery switch into the “on” position. (see
Figure 4).
6. Press the House Code switch until the light
on the front turns on red (see Figure 4) (The
unit will now send out a coded alarm signal
and the red light will flash).
7. Screw the front plate to the wall box
using the two machine screws provided (see
Figure 5).
8. Now re-install the white element, yellow
edge uppermost (see Figure 6). Replace the
bottom housing by lining up the two notches
and carefully pushing it flat - this should
leave it about 10mm below the bottom edge.
Now slide the bottom housing upwards (see
Figure 7). This resets the switch. The yellow
edge on the white element should now be
hidden (The unit will now send out a coded
alarm cancel signal). The red light will then
continue to flash to show it is in House Code
mode, for the next 15 minutes.
9. Immediately put all other RadioLINK
Smoke Alarms and other components into
House Code mode within 10 minutes.
10. In House Code mode, the Manual Call
Point will now send a radio message every 5
seconds. All RadioLINK Bases and Smoke/
Heat Alarms within range that are also in
House Code mode themselves will memorise
the House Code of the Manual Call Point.
11. Check that the number of amber light
flashes (for RadioLINK Bases) or blue light
flashes (for RadioLINK Smoke Alarms)
corresponds with the number of units in the
system (e.g. Bases / Alarms plus Manual
Call Point). For example, with 3 RadioLINK
Bases and 1 Manual Call Point you should
see 4 amber light flashes from each Base.
(Note: the Manual Call Point flashing red
light does not indicate the number of units
in the system. It just flashes rapidly to show
it is in House Code mode. The Manual Call
Point is only an RF transmitter and does not
receive any RF signals).
12. Remove all the RadioLINK Bases /
Alarms from House Code mode as described
in their instruction leaflets.
13. The Manual Call Point will exit the
House Code mode by itself after approx. 15
minutes without further user intervention.
However, this could result in problems
with nearby systems if their units are
being House Coded at the same time. If
this is the case remove the Manual Call
Point from its mounting box and then
from House Code mode by pressing and
holding the code button until the red light
comes on (i.e. use the same method as
to enter House Code mode). Release
the button and the red light will go out,
indicating that the Manual Call Point has
exited House Code mode. Re-assemble
and attach to box as described previously.
Please note that this will cause the Manual
Call Point to send out a coded alarm signal
which will activate the RadioLINK Bases
/ Alarms that have previously been House
Coded during the installation procedure.
3. CHECKING & TESTING THE Manual Call Point
The Manual Call Point is an important alarm device and should
be tested after installation and then weekly (and after prolonged
absence) to ensure correct operation as follows.
a) Check that the light on the front flashes green every 40 seconds.
This indicates it has power.
b) Press the black spot and the white element will drop down exposing
the yellow edge to show it is activated. The light will turn red and stay
on continuously for 3 seconds and then continue to flash red (every
20 seconds) for 5 minutes indicating transmission of the alarm signal
(Note: after 5 minutes the RF alarm signal ceases and therefore the
smoke alarms will stop alarming. This prevents the batteries in the
Manual Call Point and the alarm from being depleted).
c) Check the RadioLINK units are now in alarm (If some or all of the
alarms have not been activated, then the House Coding procedure
should be repeated. If there are still some problems, see the
“Troubleshooting RF Link” section on page 4).
d) The Manual Call Point should be reset with the plastic key provided
by pushing the forked end (arrow side up) into the slots (see Figure 1)
and pulling the bottom housing down. Remove the plastic key. Now
push the bottom housing firmly against the back and slide upwards.
This resets the switch. The yellow strip on the white element should
now be hidden.
e) If the Manual Call Point is not reset the light will flash red every 40
seconds to remind the user to reset it.
On reset, the alarm cancel signal will be transmitted (indicated by a
single red light flash for 3 seconds).
If the light flashes amber every 9 seconds this indicates that the
batteries are depleted and the Manual Call Point will no longer be able
to send an alarm signal. The unit must be removed from its location
