6. TESTING & MONITORING YOUR CO ALARM

Button Test

It is recommended that you test your CO Alarm after installation and then once a week to make sure the unit is working. It will also help you and your family to become familiar with the sound of the alarm.

Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds (it may take up to 5 seconds) and the green or red light flashes. The alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released. If there is a problem follow the checklist below.

Power On Indicator

Regularly check that the green power light flashes every 45 seconds - the unit cannot work without a good battery, properly connected.

Low Battery Indicator

If the unit beeps and the green light flashes simultaneously every 45 seconds, then the three batteries are depleted. Check the ‘Replace by’ label on the side wall - if it has been exceeded replace the entire unit. If it has not be exceeded and the batteries are accessible (after the battery door is removed - see figure 5a page 15) replace the batteries. Use only the following Alkaline AA size batteries: Duracell MN1500, Panasonic LR6, GP 15A, Ever Ready LR6 or Energizer E91. (See section 5.2 - page 16, if the locking rivet(s) has been inserted). Insert the new batteries with the orientation shown on the base. Button test the alarm to check the batteries are installed correctly and that they are not depleted. Slide back on the cover.

Ei 204EN, Ei 205EN, Ei 205ENA, Ei 205CEN specifications

Ei Electronics has established a strong reputation in the field of home safety, particularly with its innovative range of smoke alarms and detectors. Among its flagship products are the Ei 205CEN, Ei 205EN, Ei 205ENA, and Ei 204EN models, each featuring advanced technologies designed to provide reliable and effective fire safety solutions.

The Ei 205CEN is a high-performance optical smoke alarm. Its unique design incorporates a state-of-the-art photoelectric sensing technology that enhances its ability to detect slow-burning fires, such as those caused by smoldering materials. This model features a sealed lithium battery that ensures longevity and requires minimal maintenance. Additionally, it is equipped with a test and hush button for user convenience.

The Ei 205EN model takes safety a step further, offering both smoke and carbon monoxide detection capabilities. This dual-functionality makes it an ideal choice for households concerned about the dangers posed by both smoke and toxic gases. The Ei 205EN utilizes the same photoelectric sensing technology as the Ei 205CEN, ensuring rapid response to threats. Moreover, it has an easy-to-read LED indicator that provides visual feedback on the status of the unit, enhancing user awareness.

Building on the features of the Ei 205EN, the Ei 205ENA includes an added benefit of an emergency escape light. This model provides not only smoke and carbon monoxide detection but also illumination during power outages, guiding residents to safety in critical situations. Its intelligent design ensures that the escape light activates automatically when the alarm is triggered, providing peace of mind during emergencies.

Lastly, the Ei 204EN model is designed primarily for smoke detection, utilizing an enhanced photoelectric sensor that minimizes false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity to legitimate threats. This model is particularly suited for areas where unwanted alarms can be disruptive, such as kitchens and living rooms.

Each model in the Ei Electronics lineup is engineered with user-friendly features including clear audio alerts, easy installation, and battery backup options. Collectively, these devices contribute to a comprehensive home safety system that prioritizes user protection and peace of mind. With a commitment to reliability and innovation, Ei Electronics continues to lead the way in smoke and carbon monoxide detection technology.
