MUL TI-SENSOR FIRE ALARM FEA TURES The state of the ar t EI2110 Multi-Sensor Fire Alar m, with its Heat enhanced Optical Smoke Sensor , has a significantly improv ed performance as described below . 1. Faster Response to a wider range of fires. The combination of the ultra f ast temperature sensing thermistor and the high perf or mance optical s[...]

7 4. Replace Alarm Indicator . If the optical sensor chamber becomes very heavily contaminated, the amber f ault light will flash once e very 40 seconds to inform the user . Action can then be taken to replace the unit, long bef ore the contamination causes nuisance alarms. 5. Alarm Memory . After a the unit has gone into alarm, the red alar m ligh[...]

The Multi-Sensor Alarm can be installed for superior performance anywhere the regulations specify an Optical Smoke Alarm or an Ionisation Smoke Alarm. (The Ei2110 Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm can also be used and interconnected with an Ei166RC Optical Smoke Alarm or an Ei161RC Ionisation Smoke Alarm if necessar y). The advice here f ollows the guidance [...]

It is theref ore recommended that a Fire Risk Assessment is under taken. The Risk Assessment would be based on a combination of probabilities: - fire occurring - injur y or death to occupant - system operating correctly with a fire - early detection and warning to occupants in the ev ent of a fire. The greater the risks, the more comprehensiv e and[...]

1 Some Fire authorities (concer ned with the slow response of Heat Alarms) advise that Smoke Alarms (or Multi-Sensor Alarms) should be fitted. This is acceptable according to BS 5839-6 pro vided there are clearly not going to be problems with nuisance alarms. Fit Heat Alarms only if nuisance alar ms are very likely and it is acceptab le that a warn[...]

- Individual dwellings units of two or more rooms in HMOs Check that a Grade D system is adequate f or the dwelling into which the system is being installed. 4. POSITIONING ALARMS The locations must compl y with applicable building regulations. Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the pref erred location. The air is “[...]

Note: Ceiling mounting is recommended - do not wall mount alar ms. Sloping Ceiling In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install the alarm 900mm from the highest point measured horizontally (see Figure 2 ). This is because “dead air” at the apex ma y pre vent smok e from reaching the unit. 4.1 Locations T o Av oid DON’T place Multi-Sensor [...]

• Next to or directly abo ve heaters or air conditioning vents , windows, w all vents etc. that can change the direction of airflow and cause rapid temper ature fluctuations. • In very high or awkw ard areas (e.g. over stairwells) where it ma y be difficult to reach the unit (for testing, hushing etc.). • Locate aw ay from v er y dusty or dir[...]

It will also in validate the guarantee) . If it must be installed, first co ver it completely , particularly ar ound the edges, with a dust cover (eg. with the ela[...]

5.1 Mounting & Wiring Alarms 1. Select a location complying with the advice in pre vious sections (see pages 8-18). 2. Disconnect the A C mains supply from the circuit that is going to be used. 3. Lift off the wiring cover as sho wn in Figure 3 . 19 FOAM CEILING GASKET INSERT SCREWDRIVER T O LIFT AND REM O V E WIRING CO VER Figure 3 B16350-R0-E[...]

The wiring must be connected to the ter minal bloc k on the mounting plate as follo ws: L: Live - connect to the house wires coloured brown or marked L. N: Neutral - connect to the house wires coloured blue or marked N. IC: Inter connect - see page 23 & Figure 6 for inf or mation on interconnection. Note: Wiring must be installed in compliance [...]

4. If the mains wires are recessed, bring the wires through the rear hole in the mounting plate as shown in Figure 4 . If the mains wires are being brought along the surf ace: (a) position the mounting plate so the cable trunking is as shown in Figure 4 . (b) the mounting plate has a remov able section, tak e it out to interface directly with 25mm [...]

There are two other positions which are also suitable f or the surface wiring to enter (and e xit) the alar m, one next to the remo vab le section and another directly opposite. 5. Carefully align the mounting plate and screw into place . Connect the wires to the terminal block. With recessed wiring, ensure the rear gasket seals around the edge of [...]

9. Connect the mains power to the alarm circuit. Check the green light on the front of the alarm is on. 10. Attach the ‘Smoke Alarm’ identification label provided to the distribution board to identify the alarm circuit. 11. Attach the ‘Mains Smoke / Heat Alarms’ label provided on or near the distribution board and write in date installed an[...]

and be readily accessible to all occupants so that the source of an alarm can be quickly identified. • All alarms must be cleaned and maintained regular ly . • A qualified person must be on call to quickly remo ve an y nuisance units (i.e. units with red light flashing rapidly) which are causing all the other alarms to sound.
