6.1 House Code Procedure

Ensure that the battery is connected to all alarms before beginning the house code procedure

1.Pull cover open at tab. Press the house code switch and hold until the amber light comes on and then release. The amber light will then flash rapidly for about 1 second to indi- cate the unit is now in the house code mode (see fig 9&9a).

2.Similarly press and hold the house code switch on the sec- ond installed unit until its amber light comes on and then release. Put all the remaining alarms into the house code mode in the same manner.

3.When in the house code mode, the amber light will flash a number of times every 5 seconds to indicate:

(a) the alarm is in house code mode and

(b)the number of units that have been identified as being part of your system.

For example with 3 alarms in your system, you should see 3 amber light flashes every 5 seconds, with 4 alarms in your system you should see 4 amber light flashes and so on. The maximum number of light flashes that can be seen is 12, even though more alarms may be house coded in your system.

(Please note that during the house coding process one alarm may

sound for 1 minute.)

Check that the number of amber light flashes corresponds to the number of units in the system. If not see section 5.2.

4.The units will stay in house code mode for 15 minutes and then reset automatically. Alternatively they can be taken out of house code mode quickly by pressing and holding the house code switch until the amber light comes on again. The amber light will go out immediately when the switch is released, indi- cating that the alarm is no longer in house code mode.

(Note: The Wireless Alarms can be returned to the originally factory settings by pressing and holding the house code switch on until the amber light flashes slowly. This will take about 6 seconds. This can- cels the house code mode.

Additional Wireless Smoke Alarms can be added to the sys- tem at any time. Simply put all the units, the additional units and those previously installed, into the house code mode at the same time.

7.TESTING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARMS

Your smoke alarm is a life saving device and should be regu- larly checked. Regularly check that the red light on the smoke alarm flashes once a minute to show the units are powered. Replace the smoke alarm if the flashing stops.

Ei 3100RF specifications

The Ei Electronics Ei 3100RF is an advanced smoke alarm designed to enhance safety and peace of mind in residential settings. This model stands out due to its integration of cutting-edge technologies and user-friendly features that cater to modern needs.

One of the key features of the Ei 3100RF is its unique radio frequency (RF) interlinking capability. This allows multiple alarms to communicate with each other wirelessly, ensuring that if one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected alarms will sound an alert. This interlinking technology is invaluable in larger homes where the sound from a single alarm may not reach all areas effectively, thereby enhancing overall safety.

The Ei 3100RF utilizes an advanced optical smoke sensing technology. This means it can detect smoldering fires that may not immediately produce flames but can generate significant amounts of smoke. This capability is particularly crucial in residential environments, where early detection can save lives and property. The alarm boasts a high-performance sensing chamber that minimizes false alarms, a common concern with traditional smoke detectors.

Another notable characteristic of the Ei 3100RF is its built-in 10-year lithium battery. This eliminates the hassle of changing batteries regularly and ensures that the unit remains operational for an extended period. The battery's longevity is a significant advantage, as it provides uninterrupted monitoring and alarm functionality over the years.

Ease of installation is yet another feature of the Ei 3100RF. The unit includes a simple mounting process that can be completed in a matter of minutes, making it accessible even for individuals without extensive DIY experience.

Furthermore, the Ei 3100RF incorporates a test button, allowing users to easily verify that the alarm is functioning correctly. Regular testing is essential for maintaining safety standards, and this feature encourages proactive behavior among homeowners.

In addition to its practical features, the Ei 3100RF is designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic, making it suitable for a variety of interior styles without being an eyesore. Safety doesn't have to compromise design, and this product exemplifies that philosophy.

In conclusion, the Ei Electronics Ei 3100RF is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, advanced smoke alarm.
