entering the Smoke Alarm. Keep at least 0.30m away from walls and corners (see figure 5).

4.2 Wall Mounting

When a ceiling position is not possible (for example on a ceil- ing having exposed beams or joists, or built-in radiant heat- ing) put the top edge of your Smoke Alarm between 0.15m and 0.30m below the ceiling. Keep at least 0.30m from cor- ners (see figure 5).

4.3 On a sloping Ceiling

In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke Alarm 0.90m from the highest point measured horizontally (see figure 6), because “dead air” at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit.

4.4 Locations to Avoid

Don’t place your Smoke Alarm in any of the following areas:

•Bathrooms, kitchen, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the smoke alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes.

•Attics or other places where extremes of temperature may occur (below 4°C or above 40°C).

•Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window molding etc., that may prevent smoke from entering the Smoke Alarm.

•Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room (for example attic hatches, uninsulated exterior walls etc). Temperature differences might stop smoke from reaching the unit.

•Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents, windows, wall vents etc. that can change the direction of airflow.

•In very high or awkward areas where it may be difficult to reach the alarm for testing or battery replacement.

•Locate unit at least 1.5m away from fluorescent light fittings as electrical “noise” and/or flickering may affect the unit.

•Locate away from very dusty or dirty areas as dust build-up in the chamber can make unit too sensitive and prone to alarm.

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.
