8. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY

Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

(1)Know and look out for tell-tale signs that Carbon Monoxide may be present. These include:-

-The CO Alarm warning of abnormal levels.

-Staining, sooting or discolouration on or around appliances.

-A pilot light frequently going out.

-A strange smell when an appliance is working.

-A naked gas flame which is yellow or orange, instead of the normal blue.

-Family members (including pets) exhibiting the “flu-like” symptoms of CO poisoning described above.

If any of these signs are present get the appliance checked out by an expert before further use. If family members are ill get medical help.

(2)Choose all appliances and vehicles which burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. with care and have them professionally installed and regularly maintained.

(3)These appliances must “breathe in” air to burn the fuel properly. Know where the air comes from and ensure vents/air bricks etc. remain unobstructed (particularly after building work).

(4)The appliances must also “breathe out” the waste gases (including the CO) – usually through a flue or chimney. Ensure chimneys and flues are not blocked or leaking, and get them checked every year. Check for excessive rust or cracks on appliances and pipe work.

(5)Never leave your car, motor bike or lawnmower engine running in the garage with the garage door closed. Never leave the door from the house to the garage open if the car is running.

(6)Never adjust your own gas pilot lights.

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.
