Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing an Ei600 Series Alarm. You can easily install these
alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each storey, in corridors & in
closed rooms to give warning of fire.
The Heat Alarms can be installed in kitchens and other areas where Smoke Alarms
are unsuitable.
Models Ei605C/Ei603C/Ei605TYC & Ei603TYC can be interconnected with hard
wiring to give the loudest alarm sound level throughout the house.
All models (except Ei605 & Ei605TY) can be interconnected using the RadioLINK
plug-in modules (These modules must be purchased separately when they are not
supplied with the Alarm (see Table 1)).
Note: Certain alarms may be supplied (on request) with the appropriate RF module
fitted.
SMOKE ALARMS - Ei605 Series
Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will respond. Your Smoke
Alarm needs to be within 7.5 metres of the fire to respond quickly. Smoke Alarms
also need to be in positions where they can be heard throughout the property, so
they can wake you and your family in time for everyone to escape. A single Smoke
Alarm will give some protection if it is properly installed, but most homes will require
two or more (preferably interconnected) to ensure that a reliable early warning is
given. For recommended protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in
all rooms (apart from kitchen and bathroom) where fire is most likely to break out.

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the most
likely sources of fire (living room, kitchen for example), but it should not be more
than 7.5 metres from the door to any room where a fire may start and block your
escape from the house.
HEAT ALARMS - Ei603 Series
The Heat Alarm gives a fire warning when the temperature at the Alarm reaches
58°C. It is ideal for kitchens, garages, boiler houses and other areas where there
are normally high levels of fumes, smoke or dust i.e. places where Smoke Alarms
cannot be installed without the risk of excessive nuisance alarms. A Heat Alarm
should only be used in rooms adjoining escape routes, in conjunction with Smoke
Alarms on the escape routes.
All Heat Alarms must be interconnected to the Smoke Alarms to ensure that the
early warning will be heard, particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly designed
early warning fire system ensures the alarm is given before the escape routes
become blocked with smoke. Therefore there must be Smoke Alarms along the
escape routes as Heat Alarms would not give sufficient warning.
However, a fire in a closed room (e.g. kitchen) adjoining the escape route, can
eventually cause the corridor to become smoke-logged due to smoke leaking out
from around the door before adequate warning can be given by detectors in the
corridor. (Smoke leaking out from a room is often cool and slow moving so it can
take a long time to rise to the ceiling, and travel to a detector which could be some
distance away). A Heat Alarm in the closed room will give early warning of fire in that
room and help overcome this problem.

Multi-Storey Dwellings
If your home has more than one floor, at least one Alarm should be fitted on each
level (see Figure 1). Preferably the units should be interconnected (if feature is
present on unit) so as to give sufficient warning throughout the property. RadioLINK
plug-in modules are ideal in this situation as the units will then interconnect using
Radio Frequency (RF) signals - so no wiring is required.
Figure 1 illustrates where Heat Alarms and Smoke Alarms should be located in a
typical two storey house. Note the spacings in “Protection Levels” which ensure the
early detection of fire and that the warning will be heard.
Locate Heat Alarms in rooms adjoining escape routes - kitchens, garages, boiler
houses etc. where Smoke Alarms are unsuitable. Install within 5.3m of potential
sources of fire.
Single Storey Dwelling
If the premises is one storey you should put your first Smoke Alarm in a corridor or
hallway between the sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to the living area as
possible, but make sure that it can be heard loudly enough in the bedroom to wake
someone. See Figure 2 for placement example.
In houses with more than one sleeping area, Smoke Alarms should be placed
between each sleeping area and the living area and it is recommended that Heat
Alarms should be placed in the kitchen & garage.
Recommended Protection
Fire authorities recommend you put individual Smoke Alarms in or near all
rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid e.g
bathrooms - see Section 3). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to

For minimum protection
- Smoke Alarm on each storey
- in each sleeping area
- every 7.5 metres of hallways and
rooms
- within 3 metres of all bedroom doors
- all units interconnected (where
feature is present)
For recommended protection
(in addition to the above):
- Smoke Alarms in every room (except
kitchens and bathrooms)
- Heat Alarms located in kitchens,
garages etc. within 5.3m of potential
fire sources 9

start at night, followed by the kitchen (where a Heat Alarm is recommended) and
then the dining room. Consideration should be given to installing Smoke Alarms in
any bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical
appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker.
In addition, consideration should be also given to installing Smoke Alarms in any
rooms where the occupant is unable to respond very well to a fire starting in that
room, such as an elderly or sick person or a very young child.
Checking Alarms Can Be Heard
With the Alarms sounding in their intended locations check that the alarm can be
heard in each bedroom with the door closed, above the sound of any TV/audio
systems. The TV/audio systems should be set to a reasonably loud conversation
level. If you cannot hear the alarm over the sound of the TV/audio system, the
chances are it would not wake you. Interconnecting the Alarms using either a
hard-wired interconnection (where the feature is present) or RadioLINK plug-in
modules will help to ensure that the alarm will be heard throughout the property.
Positioning
Ceiling Mounting
Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the recommended
location. The air is “dead” and does not move in corners, therefore Smoke & Heat
Alarms must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 0.3m from walls and
corners (see Figure 3). Additionally, mount the unit at least 0.3m from any light
fitting or decorative object which might prevent smoke or heat entering the Smoke/
Heat Alarm.
We do not recommend wall mounting these Smoke/Heat Alarms.
