We strongly recommend that you check for the following before connecting the alarm:

•check for Live and Neutral using a two probe tester.

•check for Live using a neon tester.

•check that the Interconnect wire is NOT connected to Live, Neutral or Earth. Do not use an Earth wire for the Interconnect line.

Note:The Alarm does not need to be earthed. However the terminal marked is provided for the convenience of the installer so that any copper Earth wire or cable coloured green & yellow, can be safely terminated.

4.Lift off the wiring cover as shown in Figure 5 overleaf.

5.If the mains wires are being brought along the surface, conduit can be inserted into the top and/or bottom of the mounting plate.

(a)position the mounting plate, so that the cable conduit is as shown in Figure 5 overleaf.

(b)Carefully cut around the knockout on the outside wall so the conduit fits. (Note: to comply with the BS EN 60529, IPX2D protection rating, seal around conduit with silicone rubber or similar to prevent water entering).

6.If the mains wiring is recessed, bring the wiring through the rear hole in the mounting plate as shown in Figure 6.

7.Carefully align the mounting plate and screw into place. Connect the wires to the terminal block. With recessed wiring, ensure the rear gasket seals around the edge of the hole in the ceiling or wall. This is to prevent air draughts affecting the CO gas entering the alarm. If the hole is not closed off by the gasket it should be sealed with silicone rubber or equivalent.

8.Replace the wiring cover.

9.Carefully line up the unit on the base and slide on.

10.Press the Test/Hush button for 10 seconds. The horn will sound. Check that any interconnected alarms also sound within this period.

Ei261ENRC, Ei261DENRC specifications

The Aico Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC are advanced smoke alarms designed specifically to enhance home safety while providing numerous innovative features. Both models incorporate cutting-edge technologies, ensuring maximum effectiveness and reliability in detecting smoke and fire.

The Ei261DENRC is the versatile model that includes a built-in radio interlink feature. This means that when one alarm detects smoke or an increase in temperature, all interconnected units activate simultaneously. As a result, occupants throughout the home are alerted, regardless of their location. This interconnected technology is crucial for large homes or those with multiple levels, as it significantly increases the likelihood that residents will hear the alarm, especially if they are asleep.

In contrast, the Ei261ENRC model does not have the interlink functionality but still boasts a range of important features. Both models utilize a unique high-performance optical sensing technology, which helps in accurately detecting slow-burning fires, commonly associated with smoldering materials. This feature minimizes false alarms, providing peace of mind for homeowners who are often concerned about nuisance activations.

Another standout characteristic of the Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC is their long-lasting battery life. Equipped with a lithium battery that can last up to 10 years, users can enjoy the convenience of reduced maintenance. The battery is designed to power the alarm throughout its lifespan, meaning there won’t be any need for frequent replacements.

Moreover, both alarms come with a unique ‘Smart Silence’ feature, allowing homeowners to temporarily silence the alarm with the press of a button during cooking or when dealing with minor smoke occurrences that do not pose a danger. This intelligent feature helps in preventing unnecessary distress caused by false alarms.

Furthermore, these models are designed with a user-friendly installation process in mind, with clear guidelines provided for mounting and setup. Both the Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC are compliant with the latest safety standards, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Overall, the Aico Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC smoke alarms represent an essential investment for any household prioritizing safety and reliability. Their integration of innovative technologies and user-friendly features make them a must-have for modern home protection.
