Do not locate in
insect infested areas
. Small insects getting into the smoke
detection chamber can cause intermittent alarms. Insects and contamination
on the Heat Alarm sensor can increase its response time.

Interconnecting Smoke/Heat Alarms
The Brooks Smoke Alarm EIB650iWX and Heat Alarm EIB603CX provide an
interconnect facility to RFS1 V2. When one Smoke/Heat Alarm activates all
Smoke/Heat Alarms and panel buzzer will sound, this provides not only an increased
sound pressure level but also an alarm warning throughout the entire dwelling. Up
to 15 Smoke/Heat Alarms models EIB650iWX, and/or EIB603CX can be
interconnected to the
RFS1 V2.
The unit initiating the alarm can be identified by the red LED on the cover flashing
every second, or by pressing the alarm locate button on the operator module.
Note: If obsoleted smoke alarms EIB206 or EIB204 already exists, they can still be
used provided they are not over 10 years old and are still working.
The panel is compatible with either the obsoleted smoke alarms and/or the current
EIB603CX and/or EIB650iWX.

Smoke / Heat Alarm Additional Features
The new series of Smoke (EIB650iWX) and Heat (EIB603CX) Alarms have similar
features to the previous 200 series Alarms in addition to some new added features:
•
Remote Indicator Output (RIL) output: This enables an RIL to be located
outside a door to indicate the origin of the alarm.
•
Alarm can be isolated be removing the head from the base.
•
Removing the head will maintain the Alarms downstream intact i.e. does not
remove the interconnection across the zone.
•
EIB650iWX is a microprocessor-based design which allows for more
features.

Nuisance Alarms
Smoke Alarms are sensitive devices that may also be triggered by other household
activities like cooking or steam from showers or laundries. Remember, your Smoke
Alarm can be triggered by you accidentally, this does not mean it is faulty it has
simply detected something that to it simulates smoke.
If there is a nuisance alarm simply press the “Locate” button on the operator module
to identify the activated Alarm. Once the source of nuisance alarm is located, press
“Mute” to silence the active alarm for approximately 5 minutes. If, when the alarm
goes off, there is no sign of smoke, heat or noise to indicate that there is a fire, you
should get your family into a safe place, before you start investigating.
Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire smouldering somewhere.
•
Check whether there is some source of smoke or fumes, for example
cooking fumes being drawn past the Smoke Alarm by an extractor.
•
Fan the sensing chamber vigorously with a newspaper or similar to clear
and silence the alarm.
•
If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms, it may be necessary to re-locate
the device away from the source of the fumes. If for some reason the Alarm
continues to sound (due to insect infestation or contamination build up for
example), do the following:
o
Remove the Smoke / Heat Alarm causing nuisance alarm as shown in
Figure 3 below. For EIB650iWX and/or EIB603CX, remove the head by
disconnecting the adapter board off the Alarm, panel will go into fault.
