Ei Electronics B16009-R0-160RC Series - Manual (Page 9)

• Smoke / Heat Alarms may not detect every type of fire to
give sufficient early warning.
• Fire Authorities recommend that both Optical and Ionisation
Smoke Alarms should be fitted for the fastest response to all
types of fires.
• Smoke / Heat Alarms don’t last indefinitely. For example if
there is a build up of contamination, performance will be
impaired.
It is recommended that the Smoke / Heat Alarms are replaced
after 10 years as a precaution.
10. ALARM CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
Models Ei161RC / 164RC / 166RC only

of alarm to be identified.

11. GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED
If your Alarm fails to work after you have carefully read all the
instructions, checked the unit has been installed correctly, and
is receiving AC power (green light on) contact Customer
Assistance at the address given at the end of this leaflet. If it
needs to be returned for repair or replacement put it in a
padded box and send it to “Customer Assistance and
Information” at the nearest address given on the Alarm or in
this leaflet. Do not snap on to the mounting plate as this
connects the battery and the unit may beep or alarm in the
post.
State the nature of the fault, where the Alarm was
purchased and the date of purchase.

guarantee only applies to normal conditions of use and service, and
does not include damage resulting from accident, neglect, misuse,
unauthorised dismantling, or contamination howsoever caused. This
