10.2 Limitations of Radio Frequency Signals

Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be considered:

(i)Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the house coding.

(ii)Radio transceiver equipment, such as the Ei 3100RF / Ei 3105RF should be tested regularly at least weekly. This is to determine, whether there are sources of interference preventing communication, that the radio paths have not been disrupted by moving furniture or renovations, and so generally protect against these and other faults.

The Ei 3100RF / Ei 3105RF Transceiver has been tested to EN 300 220-1 V1.3.1 (200-09) in accordance with the require- ments of EN 300 220V1.1.1 (2000-09). These tests are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment gener- ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause such inter- ference, which can be verified by turning the device on and off (by removing the battery) the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures:

(i)Re-orientate or re-locate the unit.

(ii)Increase the distance between the Ei 3100RF / Ei 3105RF and the device being affected.

(iii)Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/television technician.

Ei 3100RF specifications

The Ei Electronics Ei 3100RF is an advanced smoke alarm designed to enhance safety and peace of mind in residential settings. This model stands out due to its integration of cutting-edge technologies and user-friendly features that cater to modern needs.

One of the key features of the Ei 3100RF is its unique radio frequency (RF) interlinking capability. This allows multiple alarms to communicate with each other wirelessly, ensuring that if one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected alarms will sound an alert. This interlinking technology is invaluable in larger homes where the sound from a single alarm may not reach all areas effectively, thereby enhancing overall safety.

The Ei 3100RF utilizes an advanced optical smoke sensing technology. This means it can detect smoldering fires that may not immediately produce flames but can generate significant amounts of smoke. This capability is particularly crucial in residential environments, where early detection can save lives and property. The alarm boasts a high-performance sensing chamber that minimizes false alarms, a common concern with traditional smoke detectors.

Another notable characteristic of the Ei 3100RF is its built-in 10-year lithium battery. This eliminates the hassle of changing batteries regularly and ensures that the unit remains operational for an extended period. The battery's longevity is a significant advantage, as it provides uninterrupted monitoring and alarm functionality over the years.

Ease of installation is yet another feature of the Ei 3100RF. The unit includes a simple mounting process that can be completed in a matter of minutes, making it accessible even for individuals without extensive DIY experience.

Furthermore, the Ei 3100RF incorporates a test button, allowing users to easily verify that the alarm is functioning correctly. Regular testing is essential for maintaining safety standards, and this feature encourages proactive behavior among homeowners.

In addition to its practical features, the Ei 3100RF is designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic, making it suitable for a variety of interior styles without being an eyesore. Safety doesn't have to compromise design, and this product exemplifies that philosophy.

In conclusion, the Ei Electronics Ei 3100RF is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, advanced smoke alarm. With its RF interlinking technology, optical detection capabilities, long-life battery, easy installation, and user-friendly features, the Ei 3100RF addresses both functional and aesthetic needs in smoke detection.
