Product Description

The Ei186 is a smoke alarm that is designed to operate
with suitable 8-30 volt control panels and to provide a
loud local alarm. It senses smoke using the light scatter
principle, giving a quick response to visible smouldering
fires

The Ei186 has advanced features such as the ability to
interconnect up to twelve alarms to allow all alarms to
sound if just one of the interconnected alarms should be
triggered.

Relay contacts (normally open and closed supplied) are
available for triggering the panel itself and its associated
ancillary products, such as extra loud sirens, magnetic
door holders etc.

The Ei186 is easily installed and comes supplied with all
necessary screw fixings.

Operation

The smoke detector will activate the built in sounder

upon sensing smoke particles

The smoke detector will automatically reset itself

and silence the sounder when smoke particles are
no longer present in the sensing chamber

The built in sounder will provide a minimum sound

output of 85dB at 3m

The “Test/Hush” button will silence nuisance alarms

if any

The “Test/Hush” button will test detector circuitry,

sounder,
relay and activate all interconnected alarms

Installation & Placement

Alarms should be placed in accordance with the general guidelines shown in
the diagram above. These recommendations are based on the problem of

areas of “dead air” close to corners of rooms and apexes of ceilings, which

could result in the prevention of heat reaching the heat detector
Please consult the Instruction Leaflet supplied with the Ei186 for detailed

instructions as to how to correctly install and position the heat detector

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.
(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..
