	Specification				Operation

Power supply: 220/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz

Electrical Safety: Complies with BS415: 1990.

Ambient temperature: 4° to 40°C Humidity 0% to 90% RH

Strobe: Intense built-in Xenon tube flashes every second.

Battery: Long-life sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery: Standby capacity 7 days (followed by 4 minutes alarm) - 5 year lifespan in normal use.

Indicator Lights: Green - mains supply; Red flashing - battery supply only. With mains off, red light goes off as battery becomes depleted. Mounting: Designed for wall mounting with fixing screws provided Power Switch: Slide switch disconnects mains and battery power from panel. Extinguishes both LEDs.

Test Button: Checks strobe, vibration pad and panel (also smoke alarms on Ei169RF & Ei176RF models)

Mains Transformer: Mounted in a separate box, hard-wired to control panel with 4m of low voltage cable. Supplied with 2m of mains cable and 13 amp plug.

Vibrating pad: Supplied with all models. Suitable for mattresses or pillows. Produces strong pulsed vibrations suitable for waking sleepers. Supplied with locking plug and 2m of cable.

Vibration Pad Socket: Locking socket (JST type VHR-2N) provided for vibration pad. Output 12V/200mA is pulsed in alarm for greater effect. Wiring is monitored - if vibration pad is not connected or if it is open circuit the strobe will flash.

Aux Socket: Locking socket for extra strobe (Ei178) or vibration pad etc. provides 12V/200mA in alarm.

Smoke Alarm Wiring (Not Ei176RF & Ei169RF): Low voltage cable (10m) is supplied hard-wired to the panel for connection to the smoke alarm. Wiring is monitored - if it is not connected or if it is open/short circuited the strobe will flash and vibration pad will turn on.

Clock Input: Used with alarm clocks, so only one vibration pad is needed under mattress/pillow. 5 to 24 volts (AC or DC mains isolated) will turn on vibrator pad only i.e. no strobe. Socket takes 3.5mm mono jack plug.

Interconnection: Up to 12 smoke alarms can be interconnected.

Control Devices: RadioLINK models Ei169RF and Ei176RF can be connected to RadioLINK Test & Hush Switch Ei411 and Remote Relay Module Ei428 for signalling to a Warden Call System.

•Green mains indicator illuminates to show mains power is present

•Red battery indicator flashes when mains power is off to show that the unit is running on battery only power. The red indicator goes off when the battery is fully depleted

•The slide switch on the control panel disconnects the mains and battery power from the control panel and extinguishes both the red and green indicators

•The Test button on the side of the control panel checks the operation of the strobe light and vibrating pad on all models. In addition, it activates the smoke alarm and any other RadioLINK control devices on Ei169RF and Ei176RF models

•When any of the smoke alarms are activated the control panel will flash the strobe light once per second and also activate the vibrating pad

•The Auxiliary socket allows the connection of an additional strobe, vibrating pad or to trigger a radio frequency pager

Extra Features

Ei411 - Test & Locate Switch

A completely wire-free, wall mounted switch designed for use with the Ei169RF and Ei176RF models. Allows easy control of false alarms without having to reach up to the smoke alarm.
