Product Description

The Ei168 RadioLINK Base transmits a radio frequency (RF) alarm signal when the unit attached to it senses fire. When it receives an RF signal from another Ei168 Base, the attached alarm will sound. It therefore eliminates the need to install long interconnect wires between all the alarms on different floors in different rooms.

The Ei168 RadioLINK Base is designed for use with the Easi Fit range of mains powered alarms. The Ei168 itself is also mains powered and has rechargeable lithium cells for back-up in the event of mains failure.

The Ei168 base will normally be wired to the nearest mains circuit in the ceiling (usually the lighting circuit). The alarm is then slid onto the base rather than to its mounting plate. As many as twelve units can be interconnected in this way

The RF range can be extensively improved by either adjusting the wire antenna or by converting the base into a “repeater” i.e. re-transmission of the RF signals.

The Ei168 has built in circuitry to aid suppression of voltage transients and RF interference.

Operation

In normal standby mode the amber indicator will light to indicate transmission of an RF signal

In code mode, the amber indicator will flash to indicate the number of other RF alarms that have been “learned” in the system

The red indicator on the alarm attached to the Ei168 Base will flash rapidly to show an alarm condition for the smoke detector

The amber light will flash every 10 seconds to indicate that the battery back up is depleted

Ei168 specifications

The Ei Electronics Ei168 is a sophisticated smoke alarm designed to enhance safety in residential and commercial environments. This device is engineered to provide reliable fire detection, ensuring that occupants are alerted promptly in the event of smoke or fire. One of its standout features is its advanced optical smoke sensing technology, which is more effective in detecting smoldering fires that produce a substantial amount of smoke before bursting into flames.

The Ei168 boasts a high-performance sensor that operates optimally in a variety of conditions, minimizing both false alarms and late warnings. Its intelligent design includes a sophisticated algorithm that distinguishes between genuine fire threats and common household occurrences that may trigger unnecessary alerts, such as cooking fumes. This feature not only fosters a safer living environment but also enhances user compliance by reducing alarm fatigue.

Another key characteristic of the Ei168 is its interconnectivity with other alarms in the Ei Electronics range. When one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected alarms sound together, creating a comprehensive alert system throughout the premises. This feature is particularly advantageous in larger homes or multi-story buildings, ensuring that everyone is aware of potential danger, regardless of their location.

The Ei168 is powered by a long-life lithium battery, which offers extended operational life and requires minimal maintenance. This battery backup ensures that the unit remains functional even during power outages, providing peace of mind to residents. Additionally, routine maintenance is facilitated by an easy-access feature that allows users to check the battery status and perform regular testing without the need for complicated procedures.

In terms of installation, the Ei168 is designed for user-friendly setup. Its compact and unobtrusive design allows for seamless integration into various environments, whether mounted on a ceiling or a wall. The unit is also equipped with a visual indicator that provides a clear signal of its operating status, ensuring users can quickly assess its functionality at a glance.

Durability is another strong point for the Ei168. Constructed from high-quality materials, this smoke alarm is designed to withstand the test of time, providing reliable protection for years to come. Overall, the Ei Electronics Ei168 combines advanced technology, user-friendly features, and robust performance, making it an excellent choice for enhancing safety in any space.
