Product Description

The Ei164 is a heat alarm that runs on 230V AC mains power and has built in tamper proof rechargeable lithium cells that act as a battery back up in the event of mains failure. These rechargeable lithium cells are designed to have a ten year life and outlast the life of the heat alarm itself, whilst providing up to six months of heat alarm operation without mains power.

The Ei164 has advanced features such as the ability to interconnect up to twelve alarms to allow all alarms to sound if just one of the interconnected alarms should be triggered.

The Ei164 has built in circuitry to aid suppression of voltage transients and RF interference to further reduce the chances of false alarms under such conditions.

The Ei164 heat alarm gives a fire warning when the temperature at the unit reaches 58°C. Heat alarms are ideal for use in kitchens and garages, where the use of optical or ionisation alarms would lead to unwanted nuisance alarms

The Ei168 RadioLINK Base transmits a radio frequency (RF) alarm signal when the unit attached to it senses fire. When it receives an RF signal from another Ei168 Base, the attached alarm will sound. It therefore eliminates the need to install long interconnect wires between all the alarms on different floors in different rooms.

Ei168 itself is also mains powered and has rechargeable lithium cells for back-up in the event of mains failure.

The Ei168 base will normally be wired to the nearest mains circuit in the ceiling (usually the lighting circuit). The alarm is then slid onto the base rather than to its mounting plate. As many as twelve units can be interconnected in this way

The RF range can be extensively improved by either adjusting the wire antenna or by converting the base into a "repeater" i.e. re-transmission of the RF signals.
