1Some Fire authorities (concerned with the slow response of Heat Alarms) advise that Smoke Alarms (or Multi-Sensor Alarms) should be fitted. This is acceptable according to BS 5839-6 provided there are clearly not going to be problems with nuisance alarms. Fit Heat Alarms only if nuisance alarms are very likely and it is acceptable that a warning will only be given by the Heat Alarm when there is a very significant flaming fire in the room. If the door(s) and windows are not closed to contain the fire and heat, it is extremely unlikely that the Heat Alarm would respond before a Multi-Sensor Alarm sited outside in the corridor.

2In enclosed kitchens with doors closed.

3Fast flaming fires generate considerable amounts of heat. The Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm has a heat enhanced optical smoke sensor to improve the response of the sensor to these types of fires.

4Do not install in kitchens.

Improved Audibility

The effectiveness of Category LD2 and LD3 systems can be significantly enhanced if an additional alarm (interconnected) is installed in the master bedroom. This will help ensure that a responsible person will quickly be alerted to a fire and can arrange for an orderly evacuation of children and other vulnerable occupants.

3.3 Grade D, E & F Systems

The mains powered, with battery back-up, Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm covered by these instructions will meet the requirements for a Grade D Systems (and exceed Grades E & F).

A Grade D system is needed for:

- new or materially altered dwellings up to three-storeys, with no floor over 200m2 in area

-existing dwellings with poor structural fire precautions, up to three storeys, with no floor over 200m2 in area

-Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) of one or two-storeys, with no floor over 200m2 in area

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.
