House Code Procedure

Place the Ei168 Base on the ceiling/wall and mark the screw holes. Drill with a suitable drill bit, insert the screw plugs, connect to the nearest mains circuit and screw the base into position.

The RF Bases should be house coded to prevent possible interference from neighbouring installations – see instructions for more details.

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

1.Connect the base to the mains circuit and slide on associated alarm.

2.Hold the house code switch (with a small screwdriver) until the yellow light turns on and then release

3.Similarly, place other bases into house code mode

4.Check that the number of yellow flashes (on each base) corresponds to the number of bases in your system

5.Remove all bases from house code

6.Button test each alarm (attached to each base) to check your system
