EI 175/176 Strobe and Vibration Smoke Alarm System for the deaf and hard of hearing

Important: Read all instructions before installation. This

leaflet must be left with the end user after installation.

Introduction

This leaflet describes the installation of the EI 175 and EI

176 Systems. If the system is not being used for some time the

control panel power switch must be off to prevent the battery

from being totally depleted and possibly damaged.

Do not

turn on until it is fully wired.

The systems consist of:-

The entire system is powered from the AC mains through a

low voltage transformer. In the event of a mains failure the re

chargeable battery in the control panel is capable of powering

the total system, including up to 12 interconnected smoke

alarms for one week, followed by at least four minutes alarm.

1. Location and Installation

The Control Panel should normally be fixed such that the in

ternal strobe light can be seen from the bed and the vibration

pad can be placed under the pillow or mattress. It has to be

powered from the mains (230 VAC), so a suitable power point

or junction box must be available to which it can be perma

nently connected. The Smoke Alarm must be located as de

scribed in the Smoke Alarm instructions supplied. Cable (10

m) is supplied to connect between the Control Panel and the

smoke alarm. This can be extended up to 50 m (20 ohms

max.) with suitable low voltage cable if required. The smoke

alarm supplied with the system may be interconnected with

other

EI 9 Volt interconnect smoke alarms (EI 100C /105C

/103C only), up to a maximum of 12 smoke alarms in total.

Many dwellings require more than one smoke alarm for mini

mum protection. See the smoke alarm instruction leaflet for

detailed advice on, location, maintenance etc.

Control Panel

The Control Panel should be permanently fixed to the wall

using the screws and plastic plugs enclosed. The screws

should be spaced 114 mm (4.5 in) vertically apart. The top

screw will be 27 mm (1.1 in) below the top surface of the con-

trol panel when installed. The screws (large heads) should be

screwed into the wall leaving a gap of approximately 4 mm

(0.15 in) under the head. Fit the keyhole slots on the back of

the control panel over the screw heads and slide the panel

down vertically into position.

The mains adaptor can be plugged into a socket. The socket

must not be used for any other equipment and it must always

be switched on.

It is preferable to permanently wire the unit into a mains junc

tion box. Wire according to the following instructions.

Warning: First remove the power to the circuit at the distri

bution board. If you are in any doubt about how to do this, get

help from a qualified electrician.

Connecting to mains junction box.

The mains lead wires are colour coded as follows:

brown: live

blue: neutral

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the

terminal/wire which is marked with the letter N or coloured

black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the

terminal/wire which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

The apparatus is not to be earthed, so no connection is to be

made to terminals or wires marked with the letter E, the sym

bol or coloured green or green and yellow.

Bring the low voltage wiring to where the smoke alarm is to

be located. Route all wires neatly and securely along the walls

and ceilings.

Note: Turning off the power switch on the Control Panel

does not switch off the apparatus from the supply mains. The

switch removes the AC and battery power from the Control

(or EI 105CD - optical)
