EiA605MRF Module

RF Modules

for Battery Powered

Smoke & Heat Alarms

EiA600 Series

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing an EiA600 Series RF RadioLINK module. These RF

modules can be easily installed in the EiA600 Series Alarm to provide you with an

RF interconnected fire warning system – when one Alarm senses fire and sounds

a warning, all the other Alarms will also sound a warning. This helps to ensure the

alarm sound will be heard throughout the property.

Installation

1. The EiA600 Series Alarm must be installed as per the guidance in the instruction

booklet ‘Battery Powered Smoke & Heat Alarms’.

2. Remove the RF module from the packaging and using the pull tag, carefully

insert into the back of the Alarm (see figure 1) - (some Alarm models may have the

RF Module already fitted).

3. Ensure that the battery is connected.

House code the Alarms as follows:

4. Before fitting the Alarm to the mounting plate, press and hold the ‘House Code’

switch on the rear of the RadioLINK module until the red light comes on (see

Figures 2a) and then release.

5. Twist the Alarm onto its mounting plate.

6. Similarly press and hold the House Code switch on the second Alarm until its red

light comes on and then release. Twist the Alarm onto its mounting plate.

Put all the remaining alarms into House Code mode similarly and attach

to the mounting plate in the same manner in less than 15 minutes. (They

automatically exit house code mode after 30 minutes).

7. When in the House Code mode, the blue light (on the front of the Alarm - see

figure 2b) will flash a number of times every 5 seconds to indicate:

(a) that the Alarm is in House Code mode,

and

(b) the number of Alarms that have been identified and added to your system.

For example with 3 Alarms in your system, you should see 3 blue light flashes every

5 seconds, with 4 Alarms in your system you should see 4 blue light flashes and so

on, (with the 10th unit, the blue flash is longer, to help with the counting).

Check that the number of blue light flashes corresponds to the number of Alarms in

the system. If not see the “RadioLINK Troubleshooting” section below.

8. The Alarms will stay in House Code mode for 30 minutes and then reset

automatically. Alternatively they can be taken out of House Code mode by

removing one Alarm from its mounting plate and quickly pressing and holding the

House Code switch until the red light comes on solidly again. Release the switch

and the red light will go out immediately, indicating that the Alarm is no longer in

House Code mode. Replace the Alarm on the mounting plate. The blue light will

no longer be flashing.

Note: As this Alarm exits house code mode it sends a radio message to all the

other Alarms to exit the house code mode. Check that all the blue lights on the rest

of the Alarms have ceased flashing. (Accessories must be taken out of house code

manually - see their instructions).

9. Button test all Alarms in turn and check all the other Alarms are sounding at

the same time. If they are not all communicating see section below “RadioLINK

Troubleshooting”.

Additional RadioLINK Alarms can be added to the system at any time. Simply put all

the Alarms into the House Code mode at the same time and again check the number

of blue light flashes on each Alarm.

RadioLINK Troubleshooting

It is imperative that all Alarms in your system communicate with each other. The

number of walls, ceilings and metal objects in the signal path reduces the strength of

the RadioLINK signals between the Alarms. Accordingly, one or more Smoke / Heat

Alarms may have difficulties in communicating to all the other Alarms in the system.

If, when checking the RadioLINK interconnection, some of the Alarms do not

respond to the button test, then you will need to either:

(i) Position another RadioLINK Alarm to act as a ‘repeater’ (see Interconnection

with RadioLINK Modules below) between the units which are not communicating

and so shorten the path and/or by-pass an obstacle which is blocking the signal.

When the new Alarm is fitted, house code all Alarms again, as described above.

(ii) For maximum RF signal strength orientate all the antennas in the same direction

- see Figure 3.

(iii) rotate / re-locate the units (e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or wiring).

After making these changes to the RF signal path, the RadioLINK signals may still

not be reaching all the Alarms in your system, even though they have already been

House Coded successfully. (see Section on “RadioLINK Limitations”).

It is important to check that all Alarms are communicating in their final installed

positions. If Alarms are rotated, have had their antennas extended and/or resited,

we would recommend that all the Alarms are returned to the factory settings and

then House Coded again in their final positions (see above). The RadioLINK

interconnection should then be checked again by button testing all units.

(Note: The RadioLINK module can be returned to the originally factory settings by

pressing and holding the House Code switch on until the red light turns on solidly

and then flashes slowly. This will take about 10 seconds. This clears the House

Codes that have been learnt).

Interconnection with RadioLINK Modules

A combined maximum of 18 Alarms (12 Smoke & 6 Heat / CO) with RF RadioLINK

Modules may be interconnected so that if one of the Alarms senses fire, and sounds

a warning, all the other Alarms will also sound a warning. This helps to ensure the

alarm will be heard throughout the property.

As a safety feature, the Alarms as supplied, will all communicate with each other using

the default RF signal. However, to avoid other neighbouring systems setting off your

Alarms and vice versa, we recommend that you “House Code” your Alarm system.

Another very important reason for house coding is that after the Alarms are house

coded, they all act as “repeaters” i.e. they repeat the messages from other Alarms

and so greatly improve the reliability and range of the radio communication.

Note: These Alarms should be interconnected only within the confines of a single

family living residence. If they are connected between different residences there

may be excessive nuisance alarms. Everybody may not be aware that they are

being tested or that it is a nuisance alarm caused by cooking etc.

Depending on the Alarm models you purchased, the RadioLINK module may have

been supplied with the unit or you may have to purchase it separately.

When fitting or removing the RadioLINK module, please hold using the pull tab

attached to it. Also tuck the tab between the Alarm housing and the module when it

is installed in order to avoid it being fouled up with the mounting plate.

Testing

Your Alarm is a life saving device and should be checked periodically. Regularly

check that the red light on the Alarm flashes approx once a minute to show the units

are powered. Replace the Alarm if the flashing stops.

Manually Testing your Alarms

It is recommended that you test your Alarms after installation and then at least

weekly to ensure the units are working. It will also help you and your family to

become familiar with the sound of the Alarms.

- Press and hold the Test Button until the Alarm sounds and the red light flashes

The Alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released.

- If they are interconnected using RadioLINK modules, hold down the Test button until

the blue light on the cover of the Alarm illuminates. Check that all other Alarms sound.

- Release the Test button. The Alarm and all connected Alarms should stop

sounding.

- Repeat this procedure for all other Alarms in the system.

WARNING: Do not test with flame.

RadioLINK Limitations

Limitations of RadioLINK Radio Frequency Signals

Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high

standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required

by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be considered:

(i) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating

frequencies, regardless of the House Coding.

(ii) Alarms with RadioLINK modules should be tested regularly, at least weekly.

This is to determine whether there are sources of interference preventing

communication, that the radio paths have not been disrupted by moving furniture

or renovations, and if so, to give a warning of these and other faults.

Changes/modifications to this device not approved by Ei Electronics could void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Getting Your Alarm Serviced

If your Alarm fails to work after you have read the sections on “Installation”, “Testing

and Maintenance” and “Troubleshooting”, 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 put it in a padded box with the battery disconnected. Send

it to “Customer Assistance” at the nearest address given on the Alarm or in this

leaflet. State the nature of the fault, where the Alarm was purchased and the date

of purchase.

Five Year Guarantee

Ei Electronics guarantees this RF RadioLINK module for five years from date of purchase
