Aico 160 Series - Manual (Page 6)

Innovative Design & Quality Features
Ei's unique large volume optical smoke
chamber & sophisticated electronics
have a proven track record of
reliability and high efficiency
detection. Longevity and resistance
to false alarms as well as reliable
protection from electromagnetic
interference has also been proven over
the last 15 years.
At 85dB(A) at 3 metres our alarms are loud.
Unique encased horn assembly has the piezo
disc securely held with silicone mastic to
prevent creepage and premature horn failure.
Additionally soldered contacts prevent failures
due to corrosion and arcing associated with
more commonly used pressure contacts.
Self monitoring and indicating
LEDs & audible warning signals.
Each alarm self tests every 40
seconds. Two separate LED
indicators are used to indicate
healthy mains supply, fault,
battery fault, alarm status and
low cell/battery warning.
Smoke Alarms are sophisticated electronic devices.
Protection from external contamination is vital to maintain
the fire detecting sensitivity of the product and to minimise
false alarms. A fine mesh insect
screen reduces false alarms caused
by insect contamination and fibres,
whilst allowing free access of smoke
to the sensor chamber. A dust cover is
also provided for protection on site
and prior to occupancy.
Ultra high performance vanadium pentoxide
lithium rechargeable cells are used on the
160RC Series, 150 Series and RadioLINK bases.
These cells offer the best back-up possible
and are designed to outlast the alarms.
● A precision charging circuit ensures peak
cell efficiency at all times
● Cells provide up to six months back-up
even without mains power
● Alkaline battery in the 140 Series
designed to last up to 4 years
in standby
Fitting an Easi-fit mains powered alarm really is this simple:
THE FASTEST SIMPLEST INSTALLATION POSSIBLE…
REMOVAL
The alarm is removed by
releasing the tamper-resistant
clip with a screwdriver and
sliding it off. The protective cover
ensures that the mains cables
are never exposed. Screw the mounting
plate supplied with the
alarm to the ceiling
during first fix.
No separate enclosure
is required. Wire up terminals
on the mounting
plate and clip on
the protective
cover. Slide the alarm into
place. There's no
need to wire up a
separate lead and
connector.
