battery power. If the battery is starting to be fully depleted the

red light will go off to indicate the system is totally unpowered.

The battery will last 5 years in normal use provided it is not

exposed to extremes of temperature for prolonged periods, or

fully discharged/charged a large number of times.

We recommend that the functioning of the rechargeable bat

tery is checked at least yearly as follows:

(i) Ensure the control panel has been mains powered for at

least the previous 20 hours for the battery to charge.

(ii) Turn off the mains power to the control panel by unplug

ging, or switching off the circuit at the distribution board.

Check that the green light goes off and the red light starts to

flash on the control panel.

(iii) Press the control panel test button for 20 seconds and

check the strobe flashes brightly and that the pad vibrates

strongly. Check that the red light continues to flash while the

test button is pressed. (Cover the strobe light with card to stop

this dazzling you while looking for the red light). This red light

flashing indicates that the battery is satisfactory. If the red light

goes off, or if the strobe is weak, or if the vibration is weak the

battery will need to be replaced. Contact the nearest address

in this leaflet for advise about getting a replacement.

4. Troubleshooting

If the units fail any of the tests outlined above after installa

tion, the system has probably been incorrectly wired and/or all

units are not connected. Check all wiring carefully. If the green

power light on the control panel is not on, check the power

switch on the control panel is on. Check the wiring to the mains

and that the mains is not off (e.g. due to a tripped circuit

breaker or fuse).

The Control Panel monitors the wiring to the vibration pad

and the master smoke alarm for faults as follows:

(i) If the vibration pad is removed or if its wiring is open circuit,

the control panel will flash the strobe.

(ii) If the wiring to the master smoke alarm is disconnected,

open circuited or short circuited, the control panel will turn on

the vibration pad and the strobe light.

There are no user serviceable parts in this unit. If it is thought

to be defective, it must be returned to the manufacturer for re

pair or replacement (see “Product Guarantee” section).

5. Accessories and other Features

Control Panel “Aux. Output”

The auxiliary output turns on when the control panel is in

alarm and can supply up to 200 mA at 12 Volts (range 10 to 14

Volts). (Note: the positive terminal is the pin next to the

“Clock Input” socket). An Auxiliary Strobe

EI 178 is available

and is supplied with 10 m of cable and a suitable plug. It can be

located, for example, where it is readily seen during the day

(e.g. downstairs hallway). An extra Vibration Pad

EI 174 is

also available with 2 m of cable and a plug for connecting it to

the auxiliary socket.

Control panel “Clock Input” socket

A suitable alarm clock (witha5to24Volts AC or DC output -

electrically isolated from the mains supply) can be connected

to this input socket with a 3.5 mm mono jack plug. When the

alarm clock triggers, the vibration pad turns on to wake the

person, but the internal strobe or auxiliary output do not turn

on. This lets the user know it is a wake-up call and not a fire.

Therefore the user needs only one vibration pad under their

pillow or mattress.

Triggering Control Panel into Alarm Externally

A manual fire alarm switch (e.g. a glass break type) can be

used to get the control panel to turn on the vibration pad,

strobe light, and the smoke alarm horn.

This is done by connecting together electrically the red and

blue wires, from the control panel, by means of a switch or

volt-free relay isolated contacts. The wires from the switch can

be connected into the circuit at the terminal block of the master

smoke alarm

EI 100CD or EI 105CD.

(Note: If you are using a manual fire alarm switch in conjuction with an EI Loca

tor Switch EI159 you must put a 2.2K ohm resistor in series between the fire

alarm switch contacts and the interconnect blue, wire. This is to limit the current

to the EI159 unit).

Power Requirements

The typical currents at 230 VAC are

•

Standby 10 mA

•

Alarm 50 mA

6. Product Guarantee

EI Electronics guarantees this system for one year from the

date of purchase against any defects that are due to faulty ma

terials or workmanship. This guarantee only applies to normal

conditions of use and service, and does not include damage

resulting from accident, neglect, misuse, unauthorised dis

mantling, or contamination howsoever caused. This guaran

tee excludes incidental and consequential damage. If this

system should become defective within the guarantee period,

it must be returned to the nearest address in this leaflet, care

fully packaged, with the power switch on the control panel in

the off position, with the problem clearly stated along with

proof of the date of purchase. We shall at our discretion repair

or replace the unit. Do not interfere with the system or attempt

to tamper with it. This will invalidate the guarantee, but more

importantly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards.

This guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights as a con-

sumer.
