7.1Manually Testing your Smoke Alarm It is recommended that you test

your Smoke Alarm at least weekly to be sure the units are working. It will also help you and your family to

become familiar with the sound of the alarms.

Figure 10

When you press the test button it simulates the effect of smoke during a real fire. So, there is no need to test the Alarm with smoke.

Press and hold the Test Button until the alarm sounds (see fig- ure 10). The alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released. If you press and hold the button longer, so that the amber light also comes on, you will hear the radio link interconnected alarms sounding after the local alarm stops.

WARNING: Do not test with flame.

This can set fire to the alarm and damage the house. We do not recommend testing with smoke as the results can be mis- leading unless special apparatus is used.

7.2 Checking the Wireless Interconnect

We recommend that the interconnect is tested weekly as fol- lows:

1.Press and hold the test button on the first alarm for 5 sec- onds (count up to 10).

2.The horn will sound and then the amber light will come on continuously for 3.5 seconds. (This indicates that the unit is transmitting a Wireless Alarm signal to the other units). Release the test button. The local alarm will cease and you should then be able to hear the other alarms sounding in the distance.

3.Repeat this procedure for all the other alarms.

7.3Test/Hush Button to Control Nuisance Alarms (Ei3105RF only)

These smoke alarms have a combined test/hush button to help you control nuisance/false alarms.

If, when the alarm goes off, there is no sign of smoke, heat or noise to indicate that there is a fire, you should first get your family into a safe place, before you start investigating.

Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire smoul- dering somewhere.

Check whether there is some source of smoke or fumes, for example cooking fumes being drawn past the Smoke Alarm by an extractor.

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. With its RF interlinking technology, optical detection capabilities, long-life battery, easy installation, and user-friendly features, the Ei 3100RF addresses both functional and aesthetic needs in smoke detection.
