(5)Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number. Keep the number in a prominent place.

(6)Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped. (If the alarm has been silenced by pressing the test/hush button, wait at least 5 minutes so the alarm can check that the CO has cleared).

(7)Do not use the fuel appliances again until they have been checked by an expert. In the case of gas appliances this must be a CORGI registered installer.

3.CARBON MONOXIDE - THE SILENT KILLER!

3.1What is Carbon Monoxide ?

Congratulations on becoming the owner of an Ei Carbon Monoxide Alarm. This will help protect you and your household from the dangerous effects of Carbon Monoxide

-the silent killer. (CO is the chemical symbol, indicating the molecule has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom).

Many are killed each year, and many more suffer ill health from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an invisible, odourless, tasteless and extremely toxic gas. It is produced by appliances and vehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. CO is absorbed by red blood cells in the lungs in preference to oxygen - this results in rapid damage to the heart and brain from oxygen starvation.

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.
