4. INSTALLING YOUR CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS

The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted, using its own built-in terminal block to connect it to the mains. The mounting plate can be screwed directly to the ceiling. Alternatively it can be screwed to a standard junction box (BS 4662 single gang accessory box). It requires a current of 60mA. The Alarm must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. There are important markings on the underside of the alarm.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTION: Do not install the actual alarm itself in new or renovated buildings until all work is completed (including floor coverings) and the building has been fully cleaned.The wiring can be installed when appropriate. (Excessive dust and debris from building work can con- taminate the sensor and cause problems, it will also invalidate the guarantee). If it must be installed, cover it completely, particularly around the edges, with a dust cover, until all cleaning is finished.

The Alarm must not be connected when the house wiring insulation is being checked with high voltages i.e. don’t use an insulation tester on the alarm.

WARNING: Do not use the CO Alarm on an intermittent basis, or as a portable detector for the spillage of combustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys.

WARNING: Mains operated Alarms should be installed and interconnected by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Regulations for Electrical Installations published by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (UK). Failure to install this Alarm correctly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards.

WARNING: The Alarm must be continuously powered 24 hours a day so it is important that it is not on a circuit that can be turned off by a switch.

Ei 261DEN, Ei 261EN specifications

Ei Electronics is renowned for its innovation in the fire detection and alarm industry, and among its impressive product offerings, the Ei 261DEN and Ei 261EN smoke alarms stand out for their reliability and advanced features. Both models are designed to provide maximum safety and ease of use in residential and commercial settings.

The Ei 261DEN is equipped with a high-performance optical smoke sensor that detects a broad range of smoke particles, making it particularly effective at sensing smoldering fires. Its intelligent design allows it to differentiate between genuine fire situations and false alarms, such as from cooking smoke or steam. This capability reduces nuisance alarms, ensuring that users remain alert but not overly disturbed by non-threatening activations.

On the other hand, the Ei 261EN offers a similar level of performance with slight variations in features tailored to different environments. This model also utilizes a reliable optical smoke sensor but includes enhanced connectivity options for integration with other alarm systems. The Ei 261EN is particularly suited for larger homes or commercial spaces where multiple interconnected alarms can provide a comprehensive safety network.

One of the prominent characteristics of both models is their user-friendly interface. Each alarm is designed with an easy-to-use test button that allows users to check the functionality of the unit quickly. Additionally, these devices feature a low battery warning system that alerts users when it’s time to replace the battery, ensuring that the alarm remains operational at all times.

Another critical feature is the sealed battery technology found in these alarms. The Ei 261DEN and Ei 261EN come with long-lasting batteries that can power the alarm for up to ten years, eliminating the need for frequent battery changes. This design enhances user convenience and ensures uninterrupted protection.

In terms of build quality, both models are constructed to withstand harsh conditions, making them suitable for various installations. Their compact design and modern aesthetics ensure they can blend seamlessly into any environment without compromising on functionality.

In summary, the Ei Electronics Ei 261DEN and Ei 261EN smoke alarms embody advanced fire detection technology, user-centric design, and robust performance. Their features make them ideal for ensuring safety in both homes and workplaces, highlighting Ei Electronics' commitment to innovation and reliability in safety solutions.
