¥Constant exposure to high or freezing temperatures, high humidity or a high level of nuisance alarms may reduce the life of the battery.

¥Nuisance alarms can be quickly silenced by fanning vigor- ously with a newspaper or similar to remove the smoke or press the test / hush button.

¥Do not attempt to remove, recharge or burn the battery, as it may explode.

¥If it is necessary to remove the battery for separate dis- posal, handle carefully to avoid possible eye damage or skin irritation if battery has leaked or corroded.

¥To maintain sensitivity to smoke, do not paint or cover smoke alarm in any manner; do not permit any accumula- tion of cobwebs, dust or grease.

¥If unit has been damaged in any way or does not function properly,do not attempt a repair. Return Smoke Alarm (see - Getting your Smoke Alarm Serviced).

¥This appliance is intended ONLY for premises having a residential type environment.

¥This is not a portable product. It must be mounted follow- ing the instructions in this instruction leaflet.

¥Smoke Alarms are not a substitute for insurance. The sup- plier or manufacturer is not your insurer.

8.2Limitations of Smoke Alarms

Smoke Alarms have significantly helped to reduce the number of fire fatalities in countries where they are widely installed. However independent authorities have stated that they may be ineffective in some circumstances. There are a number of reasons for this:

¥Smoke Alarms will not work if the batteries are depleted or if they are not connected. Test regularly and replace the entire unit when it fails to operate.

¥Smoke Alarms will not detect fire if sufficient smoke does not reach the alarm. Smoke may be prevented from reach- ing the Alarm if the fire is too far away, for example, if the fire is on another floor, behind a closed door, in a chimney, in a wall cavity, or if the prevailing air draughts carry the smoke away. Installing smoke alarms on both sides of closed doors and installing more than one smoke alarm as recommended in this leaflet very significantly improve the probability of early detection.

¥The Smoke Alarm may not be heard.

¥Radio Interconnect may not work due to interference or the signal being blocked by furniture, renovations etc.

¥A smoke alarm may not wake a person who has taken drugs or alcohol.

Ei 405C, Ei 405TYC, Ei 405TY specifications

Ei Electronics has established itself as a leading brand in the field of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Among its impressive lineup, the Ei 405TY, Ei 405TYC, and Ei 405C models stand out for their innovative design and advanced technologies, ensuring safety in residential and commercial environments.

The Ei 405TY model is a premium smoke alarm that utilizes a state-of-the-art optical sensing technology. This technology enhances the alarm's ability to detect slow-burning fires, such as those caused by smoldering materials. One of the primary features of the Ei 405TY is its high-performance photoelectric chamber, which minimizes false alarms while maximizing fire detection reliability. It is equipped with an intelligent feature that allows for a resettable alarm, providing peace of mind in everyday situations. The alarm also produces a clear, loud alert, ensuring that occupants are promptly notified in case of danger.

The Ei 405TYC model builds upon the features of the Ei 405TY but adds a significant layer of versatility with its built-in carbon monoxide detection capability. This dual-functionality allows for comprehensive protection against both smoke and carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that poses serious health risks. The Ei 405TYC incorporates advanced microcontroller technology, which ensures accurate detection and notifications for varying levels of CO concentration. Additionally, it features a visual indicator that provides information about the alarm's operational status, enhancing its user-friendliness.

The Ei 405C model is designed for those seeking a reliable and straightforward smoke detection solution. It employs the same optical sensing technology found in the Ei 405TY but without the carbon monoxide detection feature. This model excels in smaller spaces, where it serves effectively as a dedicated smoke alarm. Its easy installation and maintenance are supported by a user-friendly design, making it an ideal choice for homeowners or property managers looking for a cost-effective safety solution.

All three models are designed with long-lasting battery life, ensuring they remain functional even during power outages. Additionally, they feature a tamper-proof design to prevent accidental removal. The Ei Electronics alarms are compliant with international safety standards, emphasizing the brand's commitment to quality and reliability in personal safety. Overall, the Ei 405TY, Ei 405TYC, and Ei 405C models represent a blend of advanced technology and practical features, providing essential fire and carbon monoxide detection for peace of mind in any environment.
