Introduction
The Ei200MRF RadioLINK+ Module is the next generation RF module designed
to fit in the Ei208W & Ei208DW CO Alarms. The Ei200MRF RadioLINK+ Module
is a direct replacement for the Ei200MRF RadioLINK Module, but now with added
features.
The primary function of the Ei200MRF is to interconnect all Ei Electronics Alarms
in a system by the means of an RF signal i.e. when one Alarm senses Carbon
Monoxide (CO), the Ei200MRF module fitted to the CO Alarm will transmit an RF
signal that will activate the sounders in all the other Alarms in the system.
The Ei200MRF module is plugged into the rear of the base of an Ei208W/DW CO
Alarm. RF communication through this module eliminates the need to install long
interconnect wires between all the Alarms on different floors in different rooms. The
Ei200MRF is powered from its own 3V Lithium battery.
The module also has “multiple repeater” transmission – this provides multiple signal
paths to create a robust RF ‘mesh’ system and also increase the RF range.

Installation and House Coding
Antenna
hole
To fit the Ei200MRF module, plug it into the base of the Alarm while being careful
to align the pins and insert the flexible antenna into the antenna hole (See Fig 1).
N.B. Ensure that the Ei200MRF is fully inserted.
House Coding the Unit
Power supply to the Ei200MRF will be
confirmed by an initial flash of the red, blue
and green LED on the cover (see Fig 2).
Press and hold the House Code button on the
module until the blue light illuminates on the
cover. (see Fig 2 & 3).
Figure 1
Check to ensure all RF devices have been successfully House Coded. This can
be done by counting the number of blue flashes on each RF Module. The number
of flashes should correspond to the number of RF devices in the system. (i.e. 4
flashes if there are 4 RF devices in the system).
Immediately release the button, the blue light
will flash rapidly and then stop. Now attach the
Alarm to its mounting plate (see ‘Installation’
section in the Ei207/208 Series booklet).
The flashing will repeat every 5 seconds
thereafter. Repeat this procedure for all Alarms
in the system and any RF accessories such as
the Ei450 Alarm Controller.

to 12 RF devices can be installed in any one RF coded system. Please contact
us for further advise if additional RF devices are required.
You can exit this mode by pressing the House Code button on one of the RF Alarms.
Keep the button pressed until the blue light comes on solid and then release.
Figure 2 Figure 3
You can exit this mode by pressing the House Code button on one of the RF
Alarms. Keep the button pressed until the blue light comes on solid and then
release. Now re-affix the Alarm to its mounting plate.
The Alarm will now send a signal to all the other RF devices in the system to exit
House Code. Alternatively, the RF Alarms will automatically exit the House Code
mode after 30 minutes. (Note: Some RadioLINK devices do not support the on
demand exit House Code feature. You may allow them to automatically exit House
Code after the time period or if you wish, you can do it manually. Consult the
individual RadioLINK device manual for further instructions).

To check the system, press the test button on any Alarm. After a few seconds all
Alarms should now sound. All Alarms in the system should be checked similarly.
Caution: Do not House Code another group (e.g. adjacent apartment) until the
current House Code has been completed.
Factory Reset
Sometimes in order to resolve an RF communication issue it may be necessary to
reset (factory reset) and House Code the system again. To do so, press and hold the
House Code button until you see a flashing blue light on the Alarm cover (approx. 7
seconds), release immediately. Repeat this procedure on all other Alarms.
Additional Features
The Ei200MRF RadioLINK+ Module provides additional features not available
with Ei Electronics RadioLINK products. The following features will only work with
RadioLINK+ devices.
1. Remote House Coding (required if you want to add an Alarm to an installed system)
2. Monitoring
3. Data Extraction
*Note these functions will not be available unless you have completed House Code Entry.
1. Remote House Coding
If it is necessary to extend an RF system or you find that you want to add an extra
Alarm to a system you can now do so quite simply via the ‘Remote House Coding’
feature. Firstly using a screwdriver, press and hold the House Code button of one of
the previously installed Alarms until you see all colours flashing (red, blue, green).
