3.3Recommended Protection

For recommended protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all the rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid, mentioned below). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to start at night, followed by the kitchen and then the dining room. You should also consider putting Smoke Alarms in any bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker. You could also consider putting Smoke Alarms in any rooms where the occupant is unable to respond very well to a fire starting in the room, such as an elderly or sick person or a very young child.

3.4Checking you can hear your Smoke Alarm

With the Smoke Alarm sounding in its intended location, check you are able to hear it in each bedroom with the door closed, above the sound of your Hi-Fi System. The Hi-Fi system should be set to a reasonably loud conversation level. If you can t hear it over your radio the chances are that it wouldn t wake you. These Wireless interconnect smoke alarms will help to ensure the alarm will be heard through-out the house.

4.POSITIONING YOUR SMOKE ALARM

4.1.Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the recommended location. The air is dead and does not move in corners, therefore Smoke Alarms must be mounted away from corners. Place the unit at least 0.3m (1ft) from any light fitting or decorative object which might obstruct smoke entering the Smoke Alarm. Keep at least 0.3m (1ft) away from walls and corners. See figure 5.

4.2Wall Mounting

When a ceiling position is not possible (for example on a ceil- ing having exposed beams or joists, or built-in radiant heat- ing) put the top edge of your Smoke Alarm between 15 and 30 cm (6 and 12 inches) below the ceiling. Keep at least 0.3m (1ft) from corners. (see figure 5).

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.
