Product Description

The Ei161RC is an Ionisation Smoke Alarm that runs on 230V AC mains power, and has built in tamper-proof rechargeable Lithium cells that act as a battery back-up in the event of mains failure. These rechargeable Lithium cells are designed to have a ten-year life and outlast the life of the smoke alarm itself. They provide up to six months of smoke alarm operation without mains power.

The Ei161RC also has Remote Control capability - allowing the detector to be controlled remotely from a Control Switch (Ei1529RC). This then allows remote Test, Locate and Hush functions to be performed. If the Ei161RC is also interconnected to other Ei „RC‟ mains powered alarms, then the whole system can be controlled remotely. Up to twelve alarms can be interconnected which will cause all alarms to sound when one unit senses smoke/heat. A Manual Call Point (MCP401RC) is also available.

The Ei161RC is supplied with the Easi-fit base that allows very quick and simple installation of the smoke alarm, combined with simple detector head removal and replacement. The Easi-fit base automatically connects both mains power and battery as the detector head slides on.

The Ei161RC has other advanced features such as built in circuitry to aid suppression of both voltage transients and radio-frequency interference to further reduce the chances of false alarms.

Operation

The green indicator will illuminate to show mains power is present

The red indicator will flash every 40 seconds to show that the detector has performed an automatic self test

The red indicator will flash rapidly to show an alarm condition for the smoke detector

The “Test/Hush” button will either silence false alarms (if briefly pressed) or perform a smoke chamber test (if pressed and held)

In “Test” mode the alarm will perform a smoke chamber test and sound the horn

In “Hush” mode the alarm enters a ten-minute period of reduced sensitivity to overcome false alarm conditions. It will then automatically reset

When interconnected to other Ei mains powered alarms, an alarm on one detector will trigger all other interconnected alarms (only the triggered alarm will flash a red indicator)

The smoke alarm will emit a beep every 40 seconds to indicate that the battery back up is depleted and needs recharging

Ei161RC specifications

The Ei Electronics Ei161RC is a state-of-the-art smoke alarm designed to protect homes and businesses from the dangers of fire. Known for its reliability and advanced features, this smoke alarm has become a popular choice among safety-conscious consumers.

One of the standout features of the Ei161RC is its dual-sensor technology. It incorporates both optical and ionization sensing elements. The optical sensor detects smoldering fires that produce large amounts of smoke but little heat, while the ionization sensor is effective for quickly detecting fast-flaming fires. This combination not only enhances the alarm's sensitivity but also reduces the likelihood of false alarms, which can often be triggered by cooking smoke or steam.

Another notable characteristic of the Ei161RC is its ability to connect with other alarms in a network through radio frequency. This means that when one alarm senses smoke, all alarms in the network will sound, providing an early warning and ensuring maximum safety throughout the premises. This interconnected feature is particularly beneficial in larger homes or buildings, where a single alarm may not be sufficient to alert all occupants.

The Ei161RC also boasts a long-life lithium battery that can last up to 10 years. This eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements, allowing users to enjoy peace of mind without the hassle. The built-in battery is rechargeable, ensuring that the alarm remains functional even during power outages.

In terms of design, the Ei161RC features a sleek and modern aesthetic, making it an unobtrusive addition to any room. Its easy-to-access test button allows users to quickly verify that the alarm is functioning properly, and the unit also includes a visual LED indicator that shows its operational status.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly design of the Ei161RC. It comes with comprehensive instructions and can be mounted on walls or ceilings with ease.

Overall, the Ei Electronics Ei161RC smoke alarm combines innovative technologies with user-friendly features. Its dual-sensor system, interconnected capabilities, long-life battery, and modern design make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their fire safety measures. With the Ei161RC, individuals can feel secure knowing that they have a reliable and advanced smoke detection system actively protecting their space.
