CO Alarms are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas.

(3)The CO Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away. Interconnecting CO Alarms greatly improves the probability that they will be heard. The Alarm may not wake up somebody who has taken alcohol or drugs. The alarm sound may be masked by other sounds such as T.V., stereo, traffic noise etc. Fitting CO Alarms on either side of closed doors will improve their chance of being heard. This CO Alarm is not designed for people with impaired hearing.

(4)CO Alarms don’t last indefinitely. CO Alarms are sophisticated electronic devices with many parts. Although the alarm and its component parts have undergone stringent tests, and are designed to be very reliable, it is possible that parts can fail. Therefore, you should test your CO Alarm weekly. The CO Alarm sensor must be replaced after 5 years operation. The complete unit must be replaced after 10 years.

(5)CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. House-holders are responsible for their own insurance. The CO Alarm warns of increasing CO levels, but we do not guarantee that this will protect everyone from CO poisoning.

(6)CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide, but the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient warning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to give early warning of fire.

The CO Alarm does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas (propane, butane) or other combustible gases. Fit combustion gas alarms to detect these.

WARNING: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.

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.
