Product Description
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.
The Ei168 RadioLINK Base is designed for use with the
Easi Fit range of mains powered alarms. The 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.
The Ei168 has built in circuitry to aid suppression of
voltage transients and RF interference.
Operation
• In normal standby mode the amber indicator will light
to indicate transmission of an RF signal
• In code mode, the amber indicator will flash to
indicate the number of other RF alarms that have
been “learned” in the system
• The red indicator on the alarm attached to the Ei168
Base will flash rapidly to show an alarm condition for
the smoke detector
• The amber light will flash every 10 seconds to
indicate that the battery back up is depleted
