NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM.

Pre-Alarm:When the alarm detects over 50ppm CO the red light flashes every 2 seconds. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit gives an indication straight away. (Without this feature the CO level would need to be at 50ppm CO for 90 minutes for an indication to be given). Note the Pre-Alarm signal may be triggered by CO coming for example, from cooking with gas, from car engines or from nearby barbecues. This is usually not a concern unless the Pre-Alarm signal persists until the alarm sounds and the CO source is unknown.

NOTE: The CO Alarm may sound if cigarette smoke is blown into it, or aerosols are released nearby.

CO ALARM MEMORY.

When the test button is pressed the horn will sound, and the red light will only flash if the unit has previously detected CO and been in alarm. The flash rate indicates the level of CO detected as below:-

-Red light is Off – No CO detected since reset or power up.

-Red light flashes 2 times (in 2 seconds) every 40 seconds, 50 ppm CO detected for about 90 minutes since reset or power-up.

-Red light flashes 4 times (in 2 seconds) every 40 seconds, 100 ppm CO detected for about 40 minutes since reset or power-up.

-Red light flashes 8 times (in 2 seconds) every 40 seconds, 300 ppm CO detected for about 3 minutes.

Reset Memory by holding down the test button for over 20 seconds until the red light stops flashing. Cover the horn with a cloth to muffle the alarm during this time.

When the test button is held the display shows the previous peak reading. This tells you if the unit has detected CO in your absence and helps to detect and locate leaks, monitor premises etc.

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.
