Important Safety Instructions
The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted. The mounting plate can be screwed directly to the ceiling or wall.
The battery for this Alarm is in a sealed compartment. Do not attempt to open the Alarm to get access to the battery as it is not replaceable.
Warnings:
- Do not install Alarms in new or renovated buildings until all work is completed.
- Do not test with flame. This can set fire to the Alarm and damage the house.
- Do not paint or cover in any way your Alarm as this will affect its sensitivity.
- Do not attempt to remove, recharge or burn the battery, as it may explode.
- Do not expose battery to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, etc.
- Do not interfere or tamper with the Alarm as it may result in malfunction.
- Do not dispose of your Alarm in a fire.
Mounting and Wiring
WARNING: To prevent injury, this device must be securely attached to the wall or ceiling in accordance with the installation instructions.
Installation Steps
Step 1: Locate Correct Siting Point & Fix Baseplate to Ceiling

Press the Test Button. An Alarm is a life-saving device and as such it should be tested regularly.
Interconnecting Alarms (Model Dependent)
With interconnected Alarms, when one Alarm detects fire, all will sound. However, only Alarms detecting fire will have a flashing red LED.
Heat Alarms must always be interconnected to Smoke or Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms to ensure early warning.
WARNING: Do not hardwire interconnect battery-powered Alarms with low voltage or mains Ei Electronics Alarms/devices or any other type of Alarm produced by another manufacturer. Doing so may damage the Alarms and could result in a shock or fire hazard.
Hardwire Interconnection
To interconnect Alarms, wire all the terminals marked 1 together and all the terminals marked 2 together.
Diagram showing two alarm units with terminals marked '1' and '2'. Wires connect terminal 1 of one unit to terminal 1 of the other, and terminal 2 of one unit to terminal 2 of the other.
A maximum of 250 meters of two-core, 0.5mm² to 0.75m², stranded signal cable can be used (maximum resistance between detectors 50 ohm). Alarm should be interconnected only within the confines of a single-family unit.
RF Interconnection
The Alarms can also be RF interconnected to other RF Alarms and devices by installing an Ei600MRF RadioLINK Module.
Removing Alarms
To dispose of the Alarm, remove it from its mounting plate to switch it off by twisting it in an anti-clockwise direction.
