Product Description

Operation

The Ei169 is a complete smoke alarm system designed for the deaf and hard of hearing and can be selected with either optical or ionisation smoke alarms. For an ionisation smoke alarm, the system includes the Ei173 control panel, Ei174 vibrating pad and Ei151TL ionisation smoke alarm (with Ei172 pattress) and has the part number Ei170. For an optical smoke alarm version the Ei151TL is replaced with an Ei156TL optical smoke alarm, and the part number is Ei171

The Ei173 control panel includes a high intensity Xenon strobe, a sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery for standby use in the event of mains failure and all the required circuitry to connect to the smoke alarm and Ei174 vibrating pad

The Ei173 control panel also incorporates a Test button and circuitry to continuously monitor the system wiring

The Ei174 vibrating pad is designed to be placed under the mattress or pillow to wake people who fail to respond to the strobe alarm

Up to 11 other smoke/heat alarms can be interconnected to the master smoke alarm. In the event of mains failure the rechargeable battery in the panel will power the system for one week.

The green indicator will illuminate to show mains power is present

The red indicator will flash once every second to show that the mains supply is off and the system is running on battery backup power

The red indicator will go off as the battery becomes depleted (with mains off)

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

The “Test” button will check the strobe, vibration pad and panel

When the smoke alarm is activated, the Ei173 control panel will flash the strobe at 1Hz and activate the vibrating pad

The interconnect wiring from the smoke alarm to the control panel is monitored so that if the smoke alarm is not connected or if it is open/short circuit, then the strobe will flash and the vibrating pad will turn on

An auxiliary socket allows the connection of an extra strobe or vibrating pad

Ei169 specifications

The Ei Electronics Ei169 is a highly advanced smoke and heat alarm designed to meet the rigorous safety standards required in modern homes and commercial spaces. Recognized for its reliable performance and innovative features, the Ei169 plays a crucial role in fire safety by detecting smoke and heat, providing early warning to occupants.

One of the standout features of the Ei169 is its dual-source detection capability. It integrates both optical smoke sensing technology and a thermistor heat detector. This combination enhances its ability to identify different types of fire, including smoldering fires that produce a lot of smoke and fast-flaming fires that generate rapid heat. This dual approach allows for quicker detection and minimizes false alarms, offering peace of mind to users.

The Ei169 is equipped with a high-quality sounder that emits a loud, clear alarm of at least 85 decibels at a distance of three meters. This ensures that the alarm can be heard even in larger spaces or in areas where background noise levels may interfere. The unit also features a built-in test button, enabling users to easily check its functionality. Regular testing is critical for ensuring optimal performance and safety.

Another important characteristic of the Ei169 is its robust construction. The unit is designed for easy installation, whether on walls or ceilings, and is suitable for various environments, from residential buildings to commercial establishments. Its sleek design blends seamlessly with interior décor while maintaining practicality.

The Ei169 also includes a unique interconnection capability. When interconnected with other alarms in the Ei family, all alarms will activate simultaneously upon sensing smoke or heat in any one unit. This feature enhances safety by ensuring that occupants in different areas are alerted promptly, possibly saving crucial minutes in an emergency situation.

Additionally, the Ei169 is designed with a long-life lithium battery that provides extended operation, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The unit is also engineered to operate reliably in a wide range of temperatures, ensuring consistent performance in various conditions.

With its array of technologies and characteristics, the Ei Electronics Ei169 is a vital component in any fire safety strategy, ensuring that homes and businesses are protected against the threat of fire while offering users ease of use and peace of mind.
