8.2FIRE SAFETY HINTS

Store petrol and other flammable materials in proper contain- ers.

Discard oily or flammable rags.

Always use a metal fireplace screen and have chimneys cleaned regularly.

Replace worn or damaged sockets, switches, home wiring and cracked or frayed electrical cords and plugs.

Do not overload electrical circuits.

Keep matches away from children.

Never smoke in bed. In rooms where you do smoke, always check under cushions for smouldering cigarettes and ashes.

Service central heating systems regularly.

Be sure all electrical appliances and tools have a recognised approval label.

This device cannot protect all persons at all times. It may not protect against the three most common causes of fatal fires:

1.Smoking in bed.

2.Leaving children at home alone.

3.Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as petrol. Further information can be obtained from the Fire Brigade.

10.WHAT IS THE BEST SMOKE ALARM - OPTICAL OR IONISATION ?

Both types respond in all standard fires but each type may respond faster to particular fires as shown. Ei Electronics manufactures two complementary 10 Year Smoke Alarms, Optical Smoke Alarm Ei 3105TYCH and Ionisation Smoke Alarm Ei 100TYC with built-in Lithium battery. For dual pro- tection install each type.

Ei 405C, Ei 405TYC, Ei 405TY specifications

Ei Electronics has established itself as a leading brand in the field of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Among its impressive lineup, the Ei 405TY, Ei 405TYC, and Ei 405C models stand out for their innovative design and advanced technologies, ensuring safety in residential and commercial environments.

The Ei 405TY model is a premium smoke alarm that utilizes a state-of-the-art optical sensing technology. This technology enhances the alarm's ability to detect slow-burning fires, such as those caused by smoldering materials. One of the primary features of the Ei 405TY is its high-performance photoelectric chamber, which minimizes false alarms while maximizing fire detection reliability. It is equipped with an intelligent feature that allows for a resettable alarm, providing peace of mind in everyday situations. The alarm also produces a clear, loud alert, ensuring that occupants are promptly notified in case of danger.

The Ei 405TYC model builds upon the features of the Ei 405TY but adds a significant layer of versatility with its built-in carbon monoxide detection capability. This dual-functionality allows for comprehensive protection against both smoke and carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that poses serious health risks. The Ei 405TYC incorporates advanced microcontroller technology, which ensures accurate detection and notifications for varying levels of CO concentration. Additionally, it features a visual indicator that provides information about the alarm's operational status, enhancing its user-friendliness.

The Ei 405C model is designed for those seeking a reliable and straightforward smoke detection solution. It employs the same optical sensing technology found in the Ei 405TY but without the carbon monoxide detection feature. This model excels in smaller spaces, where it serves effectively as a dedicated smoke alarm. Its easy installation and maintenance are supported by a user-friendly design, making it an ideal choice for homeowners or property managers looking for a cost-effective safety solution.

All three models are designed with long-lasting battery life, ensuring they remain functional even during power outages. Additionally, they feature a tamper-proof design to prevent accidental removal. The Ei Electronics alarms are compliant with international safety standards, emphasizing the brand's commitment to quality and reliability in personal safety. Overall, the Ei 405TY, Ei 405TYC, and Ei 405C models represent a blend of advanced technology and practical features, providing essential fire and carbon monoxide detection for peace of mind in any environment.
