What to do when the alarm sounds:

(1)Open the doors and windows to ventilate the area.

(2)Turn off all fuel appliances where possible and stop them. (The alarm can be silenced immediately by pushing the test/hush button).

(3)Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open.

(4)Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of Carbon Monoxide poi- soning (headache, nausea), and advise that Carbon Monoxide poisoning is suspected.

(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.

When the CO Alarm detects abnormal levels of CO (above 50ppm CO) the red light starts to flash and the horn will sound within 90 minutes. At higher levels of CO the alarm will turn on sooner (see table B - page 6).

Ei 261DEN, Ei 261EN specifications

Ei Electronics is renowned for its innovation in the fire detection and alarm industry, and among its impressive product offerings, the Ei 261DEN and Ei 261EN smoke alarms stand out for their reliability and advanced features. Both models are designed to provide maximum safety and ease of use in residential and commercial settings.

The Ei 261DEN is equipped with a high-performance optical smoke sensor that detects a broad range of smoke particles, making it particularly effective at sensing smoldering fires. Its intelligent design allows it to differentiate between genuine fire situations and false alarms, such as from cooking smoke or steam. This capability reduces nuisance alarms, ensuring that users remain alert but not overly disturbed by non-threatening activations.

On the other hand, the Ei 261EN offers a similar level of performance with slight variations in features tailored to different environments. This model also utilizes a reliable optical smoke sensor but includes enhanced connectivity options for integration with other alarm systems. The Ei 261EN is particularly suited for larger homes or commercial spaces where multiple interconnected alarms can provide a comprehensive safety network.

One of the prominent characteristics of both models is their user-friendly interface. Each alarm is designed with an easy-to-use test button that allows users to check the functionality of the unit quickly. Additionally, these devices feature a low battery warning system that alerts users when it’s time to replace the battery, ensuring that the alarm remains operational at all times.

Another critical feature is the sealed battery technology found in these alarms. The Ei 261DEN and Ei 261EN come with long-lasting batteries that can power the alarm for up to ten years, eliminating the need for frequent battery changes. This design enhances user convenience and ensures uninterrupted protection.

In terms of build quality, both models are constructed to withstand harsh conditions, making them suitable for various installations. Their compact design and modern aesthetics ensure they can blend seamlessly into any environment without compromising on functionality.

In summary, the Ei Electronics Ei 261DEN and Ei 261EN smoke alarms embody advanced fire detection technology, user-centric design, and robust performance. Their features make them ideal for ensuring safety in both homes and workplaces, highlighting Ei Electronics' commitment to innovation and reliability in safety solutions.
