6.TESTING YOUR CO ALARM

(1)Regularly check that the green mains power light is on. The unit cannot detect CO if the mains power is not on. (If it is off check circuit breakers, fuses, wiring etc).

(2)Test the unit weekly by pressing the test/hush button. Hold the test button (for up to 10 seconds) until the horn sounds for over 5 seconds. This will help to familiarise you and your family with the distinctive on-off sound of the CO Alarm. This test checks that the electronics and horn are working correctly. (If the red alarm light flashes when the button is pressed - see CO Alarm Memory section on page 10.

(3)If the CO Alarm gives a short beep and the amber fault light flashes every 40 seconds it means the self-checking circuit has detected a fault. Press and hold the test/hush button. If the amber light flashes without the horn sounding, the sensor is faulty.

(4)If the Alarm fails to operate when the test/hush button is pressed, disconnect the mains supply at the distribution fuse board for 3 minutes. Re-connect the mains and try again. (This procedure resets the microprocessor in the unit).

(5)If the CO Alarm fails any of the above tests it must be replaced immediately (see section 11 “Getting the CO Alarm Serviced” on page 28).

Testing with Carbon Monoxide

The unit can be tested with CO by using one of the kits that comes with CO either in a glass phial or aerosol can. Follow the instructions on the kit. It is best if possible to

The Ei Electronics Ei220EN is an advanced smoke and heat detector designed to provide enhanced safety and peace of mind in residential and commercial buildings. Incorporating state-of-the-art technologies, this device offers reliable performance and is engineered to detect both smoke and rising temperatures, ensuring comprehensive fire protection.

One of the standout features of the Ei220EN is its dual sensor technology, which combines both photoelectric and heat detection. The photoelectric sensor is adept at identifying smoldering fires that produce a significant amount of smoke, while the heat sensor excels in detecting rapid temperature increases indicative of flaming fires. This dual approach significantly reduces the potential of false alarms caused by common household activities, such as cooking or steam from showers.

The Ei220EN is equipped with a built-in 230V power supply, offering continuous operation without the need for frequent battery replacements. In the case of a power failure, a 10-year rechargeable lithium battery serves as a backup, ensuring that the detector remains operational during emergencies. This feature provides users with confidence that their premises are protected around the clock.

This smoke and heat detector also boasts a large, easy-to-read LED indicator, which shows the status of the device. During normal operation, the indicator glows green, while it turns red in the event of an alarm. Additionally, a test button allows users to easily check the functionality of the device, ensuring that it is in working order.

Another notable characteristic is the Ei220EN's ability to interconnect with up to 12 other Ei alarms, enhancing safety throughout large homes or commercial spaces. In the event of an alarm, all interconnected units will sound, creating a robust alert system that increases the chances of early detection and response to a fire.

The Ei220EN also features a low-profile design that allows for easy installation on walls or ceilings, blending seamlessly with various architectural styles. Constructed from durable materials, it is built to withstand various environmental conditions, making it suitable for different settings, whether residential or commercial.

Overall, the Ei Electronics Ei220EN smoke and heat detector is a vital component in any fire safety strategy.
