Product Description

Operation

The Ei176 is a complete smoke alarm system designed for the deaf and hard of hearing. The system includes the Ei173 control panel, Ei174 vibrating pad and Ei105CD optical smoke alarm.

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 Ei105CD 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 waken people who fail to respond to the strobe alarm

Up to 11 other smoke/heat alarms (Ei100C/105C/103C) can be interconnected to the master smoke alarm Ei100CD. The smoke alarms are all powered from the control panel and in the event of mains failure the rechargeable battery in the panel will power the entire system, including the smoke alarms, 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 Ei105CD optical 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

Ei 176 specifications

Ei Electronics Ei 176 is a remarkable innovation in the realm of smoke detection technology, designed to offer enhanced safety and peace of mind for homeowners and businesses alike. This advanced smoke alarm is engineered with cutting-edge features that prioritize user convenience and reliability.

One of the standout characteristics of the Ei 176 is its advanced optical sensing technology. This technology ensures a rapid response to smoke presence, significantly reducing the risk of false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity. The optical sensor is adept at detecting smoldering fires, which are often the most dangerous and can produce considerable smoke before bursting into flames.

Incorporating a unique, built-in lithium battery, the Ei 176 guarantees an extended lifespan of up to 10 years. This feature eliminates the hassle of frequent battery replacements, making it a low-maintenance option for users. The self-contained battery guarantees continuous operation and ensures that the alarm remains functional even during power outages, thereby enhancing overall safety.

Another vital characteristic of the Ei 176 is its ease of installation and operation. The design is user-friendly, allowing for straightforward setup, whether mounted on the ceiling or wall. Additionally, the unit comes equipped with a test button, enabling users to easily verify the functionality of the smoke alarm in real-time.

The Ei 176 also includes a unique interlinking feature, which allows multiple alarms to communicate wirelessly. When one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected units will sound, providing an effective and comprehensive warning system throughout the premises. This interlinking capability is crucial in larger homes or commercial spaces, ensuring that occupants are alerted no matter where they are located.

Furthermore, the Ei 176 is designed with a contemporary look to blend seamlessly into modern interiors. The sleek design, coupled with a range of color options, means that this essential safety device does not compromise on aesthetics.

In conclusion, the Ei Electronics Ei 176 smoke alarm embodies the perfect balance of technology, reliability, and design. With its advanced optical sensing, long-lasting battery, ease of installation, and interlinking capabilities, it stands out as an essential investment for anyone seeking to enhance fire safety in their environment.
