Placement Information

Alarms should be placed in accordance with the general guidelines shown in the diagram above. These recommendations are based on the problem of areas of “dead air” close to corners of rooms and apexes of ceilings, which could result in the prevention of smoke reaching the smoke detector

Important Precaution:

Do not install the actual smoke/heat alarm itself in new or renovated buildings until all work is completed (including floor coverings) and the building has been fully cleaned. The wiring can be installed when appropriate. (Excessive dust and debris from building work can contaminate the smoke chamber and cause problems, and it will also invalidate the guarantee). If it must be installed, cover it completely, particularly around the edges, with a dust cover (eg. a plastic bag), until all cleaning is finished.. Connect wires to the unit as in wiring diagram. All wiring must comply with local codes.

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.
