Placement Information

Alarms should be placed in accordance with the general guidelines shown in the diagram above. These recommendations are based on the problem of areas of “dead air” close to corners of rooms and apexes of ceilings, which could result in the prevention of smoke reaching the smoke detector

Important Precaution:

Do not install the actual smoke/heat alarm itself in new or renovated buildings until all work is completed (including floor coverings) and the building has been fully cleaned. The wiring can be installed when appropriate. (Excessive dust and debris from building work can contaminate the smoke chamber and cause problems, and it will also invalidate the guarantee). If it must be installed, cover it completely, particularly around the edges, with a dust cover (eg. a plastic bag), until all cleaning is finished.. Connect wires to the unit as in wiring diagram. All wiring must comply with local codes.

Ei 176 specifications

Ei Electronics Ei 176 is a remarkable innovation in the realm of smoke detection technology, designed to offer enhanced safety and peace of mind for homeowners and businesses alike. This advanced smoke alarm is engineered with cutting-edge features that prioritize user convenience and reliability.

One of the standout characteristics of the Ei 176 is its advanced optical sensing technology. This technology ensures a rapid response to smoke presence, significantly reducing the risk of false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity. The optical sensor is adept at detecting smoldering fires, which are often the most dangerous and can produce considerable smoke before bursting into flames.

Incorporating a unique, built-in lithium battery, the Ei 176 guarantees an extended lifespan of up to 10 years. This feature eliminates the hassle of frequent battery replacements, making it a low-maintenance option for users. The self-contained battery guarantees continuous operation and ensures that the alarm remains functional even during power outages, thereby enhancing overall safety.

Another vital characteristic of the Ei 176 is its ease of installation and operation. The design is user-friendly, allowing for straightforward setup, whether mounted on the ceiling or wall. Additionally, the unit comes equipped with a test button, enabling users to easily verify the functionality of the smoke alarm in real-time.

The Ei 176 also includes a unique interlinking feature, which allows multiple alarms to communicate wirelessly. When one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected units will sound, providing an effective and comprehensive warning system throughout the premises. This interlinking capability is crucial in larger homes or commercial spaces, ensuring that occupants are alerted no matter where they are located.

Furthermore, the Ei 176 is designed with a contemporary look to blend seamlessly into modern interiors. The sleek design, coupled with a range of color options, means that this essential safety device does not compromise on aesthetics.

In conclusion, the Ei Electronics Ei 176 smoke alarm embodies the perfect balance of technology, reliability, and design. With its advanced optical sensing, long-lasting battery, ease of installation, and interlinking capabilities, it stands out as an essential investment for anyone seeking to enhance fire safety in their environment.
