Fire Risk Assessment

The Multi-Sensor Alarm can be installed for superior performance anywhere the regulations specify an Optical Smoke Alarm or an Ionisation Smoke Alarm.

(The Ei2110 Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm can also be used and interconnected with an Ei166RC Optical Smoke Alarm or an Ei161RC Ionisation Smoke Alarm if necessary).

The advice here follows the guidance in British Standard BS 5839-Part 6:2004 in general (for further information see the BS standard itself).

The main reason for fitting alarms in dwellings is to ensure that when there is a fire, sufficient early warning is given so that everybody can escape safely.

This means that the fire alarms should ideally be located in all escape routes and in all rooms that contain potential sources of fire. Another important consideration is that the alarm should be heard throughout the house – particularly in the bedrooms.

It is also important that nuisance/false alarms are minimised to ensure the units are not disabled or ignored.

BS 5839-Part 6:2004 gives guidance on:

-how many alarms to install

-what type of alarm to use

-where to position alarms

The above points will depend on the type of dwelling to be protected and the level of fire risk.

The ‘Grade’ and ‘Category’ of system that should be installed depends on the fire risk.

Ei2110 specifications

The Ei Electronics Ei2110 is a highly regarded smoke alarm designed to provide reliable protection against the dangers of fire. Known for its advanced features and innovative technologies, the Ei2110 has become a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.

One of the standout features of the Ei2110 is its advanced optical sensing technology. This technology detects smoke using a light source, making it highly effective in identifying smoldering fires that produce large smoke particles. This sensitivity increases the alarm's response time, providing earlier warnings compared to traditional ionization smoke detectors.

Another critical characteristic of the Ei2110 is its easy installation process. The smoke alarm is designed to be user-friendly, allowing homeowners and businesses to install it with minimal effort. Additionally, it comes with a built-in test button, enabling users to ensure that the alarm is functioning correctly at any time.

The Ei2110 is equipped with a long-life battery, featuring a sealed lithium battery that provides up to 10 years of continuous protection. This battery eliminates the need for frequent replacements, making it a low-maintenance option for users. Furthermore, the smoke alarm has a built-in hushing feature that allows users to silence false alarms temporarily, such as those caused by cooking fumes.

One of the most significant advancements in the Ei2110 is its interconnected capability. Multiple Ei2110 units can be linked together, so when one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected alarms will sound, providing a comprehensive early warning system throughout the premises. This feature is particularly beneficial in larger homes or commercial buildings, ensuring that all occupants are alerted promptly in the event of a fire.

The design of the Ei2110 also reflects modern aesthetics and functionality. Its sleek, unobtrusive design blends well with various interior styles, making it a suitable addition to any space. Additionally, the unit is designed to be tamper-proof, further enhancing its reliability and ensuring that it remains operational at all times.

In summary, the Ei Electronics Ei2110 smoke alarm combines advanced sensing technology, user-friendly installation, long-lasting battery life, and interconnected capabilities. Its thoughtful design and features make it a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their fire safety measures, ensuring peace of mind and a proactive approach to fire protection.
