1. Introduction
This leaflet describes the installation of the Ei170RF / Ei171RF and its integration into a total RF Fire
Alarm System, incorporating a choice of RF Smoke/CO/Heat Alarms and Accessories.
Note: It is essential that the Ei170RF / 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 Ei170RF / 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,
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 or fires.
The associated RF Alarms and Accessories must be located and installed as described in their own
instruction leaflets.
Note: If installing the Ei170RF / Ei171RF in a system containing CO Alarms, we recommend installing
an Ei450 to determine the source of the alarm.
2. Installation
Strobe Module Ei170RF / Ei171RF
The battery must first be installed in the Strobe Module. Open the rear compartment by squeezing
together the two latches as shown in Figure 1b, and lifting the cover off.
Plug the battery into the socket at the rear of the battery compartment as shown in Figure 2 (while
holding the small latch on the battery plug, open). Place the battery in the compartment ensuring the
notch in the battery is used to leave clearance for the plug and sockets (see Figure 3).
The Strobe Module can be left on a table or permanently fixed to the wall using the screws and plastic
plugs enclosed. Use the drilling template (Figure 5).
