RELAY BASES & COVERS

FOR SMOKE, HEAT & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS

Common Instruction Manual

Contains vital information on the product’s operation and

installation. Read and retain carefully. If you are just installing

this product the manual MUST be given to the householder.

1. Description of Models & Usage

Ei128R - Relay Base with remote terminal. Relay Output

250VAC / 5 Amps. Normally used directly

underneath Easi-fit Smoke & Heat Alarms. When

used with accessory cover Ei128COV the

combination may be sited at the fuse box or

other suitable locations. The combination can

also be used with other Ei Smoke, Heat &

Carbon Monoxide Alarms - see section 3.

Ei128RBU - Same as the Ei128R above but with the addition

of a rechargeable cell backup.

Ei128COV - Plastic cover for use with Ei128R & Ei128RBU

Relay Bases when they are not sited underneath

the actual alarms they are serving.

2. Ei128R & Ei128RBU Instructions

2.1 Introduction

The Ei128R & Ei128RBU Relay Bases switch a relay upon

receipt of an alarm signal from a suitable Ei Smoke, Heat or

Carbon Monoxide Alarm. The electrically isolated contacts

can be used for many applications such as signalling, turning

on lights, etc. The Relay Bases are powered by 230VAC

mains - with the Ei128RBU model having recharbeagle back-

up cells.

As supplied the relay operates continuously (e.g. it switches

when one of the Smoke / Heat Alarms detects fire and

switches back when the smoke clears). When the slide switch

is moved to the pulse ‘P’ position (see figures 1 & 2) the relay

will switch when fire is detected but will automatically switch

back after 5 seconds. This is commonly used with warden call

systems where only momentary short circuit signalling is

required.

2.2 Installation under Easifit Smoke / Heat Alarms

WARNING: Mains powered Relay Bases should be installed

by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Regulations

for Electrical Installations published by the Institution of

Electrical Engineers (UK) (i.e. BS7671). Failure to install the

unit correctly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards.

This unit is not waterproof and must not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

WARNING: First disconnect the mains from the circuit to be used.

1. Choose a mounting position following the siting instructions

in the Smoke/Heat Alarm leaflet. Where the incoming wiring

is on the surface of the ceiling, the appropriately sized

ducting/conduit must be chosen to mate with the unit. Use a

sharp knife to remove material from the selected knockout,

making sure that there is no gap when mated with ducting /

conduit. There are three knockouts – two on the sidewall and

one on the rear.

2. Screw the Relay Base to the ceiling after first removing the

required knockout and bringing the house wires through it

(see figure 1a for Ei128R & figure 1b for Ei128RBU). If the

central knockout is being used, seal around the wires with

silicone or similar to prevent air draughts affecting the smoke

entering the alarm.

3. Connect the house wires (L - Live, N - Neutral and IC -

Interconnect, (if it is being used)) to the terminal block on the

Relay Base. If an Ei161R, Ei164R or Ei166R Smoke Alarm is

being used with an Ei152 Control Switch or an

MCP400/MCP401 Manual Call Point, attach the “R” wire from

the Ei152 or the MCP400/MCP401 to the terminal marked “R”

in the Relay Base (see figure 1a & 1b).

If an Ei152 Control Switch and an MCP400/MCP401 Manual

Call Point are being used on the same circuit (see figure 2),

attach both “R” wires to the terminal marked “R” in the Relay

Base. Otherwise do not connect anything to the ”R” terminal.

4. Connect the three wires (“L”, “N” and “IC”) from the Relay

Base to the connectors on the Smoke/Heat Alarms mounting

plate. This “IC” wire must be connected even if it is a single

alarm installation. Connect the earth wire (if present) from the

house wiring directly to the terminal on the mounting plate

(see relevant Smoke Alarm Instructions). Replace the cover

over the terminal wires.

Connect the wires to the required relay contacts for controlling

the auxiliary device (the contacts are isolated and are rated at

250VAC, 5 Amps resistive).

5. Connect the rechargeable cells (Ei128RBU only) by

carefully and gently sliding the switch to the “on” position (see

figure 1b). This switch must be in the ‘on’ position to ensure

correct operation.

6. Screw the mounting plate to the Relay Base pillars using

the two screws supplied.

7. Slide the alarm on to the mounting plate.

8. Re-connect the mains power – the green LED light on the

alarm should be on. When the test button is pressed the horn

should sound and the relay will switch within 10 seconds.

(Note - with ionisation alarms the relay normally switches 4

seconds after the horn sounds. With optical alarms the relay

normally switches within 2 seconds of the horn sounding).

Note: A maximum of 12 Smoke/Heat Alarm of the types

specified may be interconnected to one Relay Base. When

one alarm senses fire all interconnected units will alarm and

the relay will switch.

3. Checking & MaintainingYour Smoke Alarm System

We recommend a weekly check is made of your alarm system.

When checking the system also check the Relay Base as follows:

Ei128RBU

Ei128R

Figure 2

A15420-R1-Ei128RBU-UC-ENG 9/1/08 10:56 AM Page 3

1.Check the green mains light is lit on the Smoke Alarm that

is electrically connected to the Relay Base.

2.Check the relay switches and that the associated device

operates when the system is in alarm (e.g. due to a smoke

alarm test button being pressed).

3. On the Ei128RBU only the rechargeable cells are capable

of powering the relay for up to 2 months in the event of the

mains being off.

4. Checking Relay Back-Up Cells

Model Ei128RBU only

It is important to check that the rechargeable cells in the

Ei128RBU Relay Base are switched on, charged and capable

of powering the system. This should be done after installation

and then at least annually.

(i) Disconnect the mains supply. Check the relay as described

in section 3 above.

(ii) If everything is satisfactory, re-connect the mains.

If the relay fails to operate then the unit is defective and must

be replaced (see getting your Relay Base Serviced as per

section 5 below).

End of Life

After 10 years (see date label on the side of the Relay Base)

the Ei128RBU Relay Base must be replaced.

5. Installation away from the alarm

5.1 Introduction

Whenever there is a need to install the Relay Base at

locations other than underneath the Easi-fit alarms then an

Ei128COV is required. This is to ensure that the user is not

exposed to fire or shock hazards.

Note that in addition to the Ei Easi-fit Alarms, other Ei devices can

be connected to the Relay Bases. The Ei mains range of Smoke

& Heat Alarms Ei150 Series and the interconnectable Carbon

Monoxide Alarms Ei261EN & Ei261DEN can be connected to

trigger the Relay.

Warning: The Relay Bases must not be used with any other

devices - otherwise they would not comply with the mandatory

safety regulations.

5.2 Installation

The installation of the Relay Bases themselves is covered in

section 2 previously.

WARNING: Mains powered Carbon Monoxide / Smoke / Heat

Alarms should be installed by a qualified electrician in

accordance with the Building Regulations for Electrical

Installations published by the Institution of Electrical

Engineers (UK). Failure to install the unit correctly may

expose the user to shock or fire hazards.

Warning: First disconnect the mains from the circuit to be used.

A15420-R1-Ei128RBU-UC-ENG 9/1/08 10:56 AM Page 4

1. Install the Carbon Monoxide / Smoke / Heat Alarm as

described in the leaflet supplied with the unit. The Relay

Module can be located near the fuse box or in some other

location convenient to the Carbon Monoxide / Smoke / Heat

Alarm wiring. Where the incoming wiring is on the surface of

the ceiling, the appropriately sized ducting/conduit must be

chosen to mate with the unit. Use a sharp knife to remove to

material from the selected knockout, making sure that there is

no gap when mated with ducting / conduit. There are three

knockouts – two on the sidewall and one on the rear.

2. Screw the Relay Base to the ceiling after first removing the

required knockout and bringing the house wires through it

(see figures 1a & 1b).

3. Connect the three wires (L - Live, N - Neutral and IC -

Interconnect) from the Carbon Monoxide / Smoke / Heat

Alarm to the alarm relay module as shown in figures 1a & 1b.

The IC - Interconnect wire must be connected even if it is a

single alarm installation.

As an Easi-fit Alarm is not being mounted on top of the Relay

Base, remove the three cables (for the Easi-fit Alarm connection)

from the terminal block and discard (see figures 1a & 1b).

Connect the wires to the required relay contacts for controlling

the auxiliary device (the contacts are isolated and are rated at

250VAC, 5 Amps resistive). If momentary (pulse) relay

operation is required, carefully and gently slide the yellow

switch to the ‘off’ (Ei128R) or ‘P’ (Ei128RBU) position with a

small screwdriver (see figures 1a & 1b).

4. Screw the cover plate to the Relay Module using the two

screws supplied.

5. Connect the mains power – the green LED light on the

alarm should be on. When the test button is pressed the horn

should sound and the relay will switch within 10 seconds.

With some alarms it may take up to 5 seconds for the relay to

switch after the horn has sounded.

Note 1: A maximum of 12 Carbon Monoxide Alarms or 12

Smoke Alarm of the types specified may be interconnected to

one Relay Base. When one unit alarms all interconnected

units will alarm and the relay will switch.

& Ei128COV

The above shows the connection for Carbon Monoxide Alarms.

Connect the Smoke/Heat Alarm similarly but on a seperate circuit to the

Carbon Monoxide Alarm (unless an Ei159 Locator Switch is used on the system)

Figure 4

A15420-R1-Ei128RBU-UC-ENG 9/1/08 10:56 AM Page 5

Warning: Do not connect Carbon Monoxide Alarms and

Smoke / Heat Alarms on the same system without using an

Ei159 Locator Switch. The Ei159 Locator Switch will allow the

user to identify the source of the alarm (e.g. smoke or CO

gas). This is important because if the Carbon Monoxide Alarm

triggers the user must ventilate the premises. If the Smoke

Alarm triggers the user should close doors to slow down the

spread of fire.

Note 2: An alarm with battery back-up will continue to operate

during a mains failure but will not be able to switch the Ei128R

relay (the relay requires the 230 VAC to operate). However the

Ei128RBU relay will be able to switch during mains failure

because of its back-up cells.

Note 3: Devices connected to the relay contacts do not give a

warning until the contacts have switched for at least 200mSec.

6. Getting your Relay Base Serviced

If your Relay fails to work after your have carefully read all the

instructions, checked that the unit has been installed correctly,

and is receiving AC power, then contact Customer Assistance

at the nearest address given at the end of this leaflet. If it

needs to be returned for repair or replacement, remove the unit

and turn off the rechargeable cells with slide switch (see

Figure1b). Put the Relay in a padded box and send it to

“Customer Assistance and Information” at the nearest address

given on the unit or in this leaflet. State the nature of the fault,

where the Base was purchased and date of purchase.
