excellent, particularly at night, as it rapidly identifies where the fire is located. This is ideal for larger systems as the dis- turbance in the house can be kept to a minimum e.g. no need to enter all the bedrooms to check to see if the red light is flashing rapidly.

3. LOCATING YOUR SMOKE ALARM

Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will respond. Your Smoke Alarm needs to be within 10 paces (7.5 metres) of the fire to respond quickly. The smoke alarms need to be in positions where they can be heard throughout your home, so they can wake you and your family in time for you all to escape. A single Smoke Alarm will give some protection if it is properly installed, but most homes will require two or more to ensure that a reliable early warning is given. For max- imum protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all the rooms where fire is most likely to break out.

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleep- ing area and the most likely sources of fire (living room or kitchen for example). But it should not be more than 10 paces (7.5 metres) from the door to any room where a fire might start and block your escape from the house.

3.1Single Storey Dwelling.

If your Home is on one level (a bungalow or mobile home for example) you should put your first Smoke Alarm in a corridor or hallway between the sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to the living area as possible, but make sure you can hear it loudly enough to wake you in the bedroom. (for exam- ple, see figure 2).

If your bungalow is very large and the corridor or hallway is more than say 20 paces (15 metres) long, one Smoke Alarm will not be sufficient. This is because no matter where it is located it will be more than 7.5 metres from potential fires.

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.
