Model Ei 159

Remote Locate capability

For use with Ei140/Ei150/Ei160RC series Smoke

and Heat Alarms

Quickly locates source of alarm

Product Description

The Ei159 is a switch with Locate functionality, and is
intended for installations with interconnected smoke
alarms.

The Locate function will stop all the units alarming except
those alarms actually sensing smoke, by disabling the
interconnect feature for about 10 minutes.

The Locate function will allow the source of the alarm to
be quickly located and appropriate action taken, and it
can significantly reduce the annoyance to other
occupants when false alarms occur at night.

The Ei159 is designed to be used in conjunction with the
Ei140, Ei150 and Ei160RC series Smoke and Heat
Alarms. (Note: A more suitable accessory for the
Ei160RC series is the Ei1529RC remote control switch
which provides, test, hush and locate functions)

The Ei159 is supplied complete with its own surface
mount pattress and all mounting fixings.

Operation

Turning on the “Locate” switch will deactivate all

interconnected Smoke and Heat Alarms except
those actually sensing smoke

The Ei159 automatically restores the interconnect

feature after a period of 10 minutes

During the 10 minute period, each individual smoke

detector will still operate and alarm if it senses
smoke

If the original smoke alarm continues to sound after

smoke has cleared, pressing the “Locator” switch

again will cancel that alarm

Installation

Mains Powered Systems

Be very careful about correctly wiring the alarms as mixing Live and Neutral
will blow/damage interconnected alarms

9Volt Battery Powered Systems

Use only with
Ei100C/100TYC/100TYCH/103C/105C/105CH/105TYC/3105TYC
Smoke/Heat Alarms

Important Precaution:

Do not install the actual smoke/heat
alarm itself in new or renovated
buildings until all work is completed
(including floor coverings) and the
building has been fully cleaned.
The wiring can be installed when
appropriate. (Excessive dust and
debris from building work can
contaminate the smoke chamber
and cause problems, and it will also
invalidate the guarantee). If it must
be installed, cover it completely,
particularly around the edges, with
a dust cover (eg. a plastic bag),
until all cleaning is finished..
Connect wires to the unit as in
wiring diagram. All wiring must
comply with local codes.
