3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not paint your alarm. Do not allow paint, water or dust
to contaminate your alarm.
Your alarm is a mains 230V AC electrical appliance. Do not
open or insert anything into the alarm.
Regularly check that the green mains indicator light on the
cover is on.
Test weekly - press and hold the Test/Hush button on the
alarm for 10 seconds. The alarm will sound loudly and the
red light on the cover should flash rapidly. All the other
interconnected alarms should sound.
If the alarm beeps and the red light flashes at the same
time the battery is depleted – ensure green mains power
light is on.

If a nuisance alarm occurs, press the Test/Hush button to
silence the alarm for 10 minutes.
Clean your alarm regularly. This will reduce the risk of
false alarms.
Remove or completely cover your alarm when decorating
to prevent dust or other contamination damaging the unit.
If your alarm sounds for no reason and will not reset, it can
be removed by releasing the clip on the base.

MULTI-SENSOR FIRE ALARM FEATURES
The state of the art EI2110 Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm, with its Heat enhanced Optical
Smoke Sensor, has a significantly improved performance as described below.
1. Faster Response to a wider range of fires.
The combination of the ultra fast temperature sensing thermistor and the high
performance optical sensor within the unit, enhances the fire sensing performance
such that the unit detects all the 7 different Test Fires (TF) specified in the standard
BS ISO 7240-15: 2004. These Test Fires are designed to produce different levels of
smoke/heat and as such are a good test of the units performance to the different fires
that could possibly occur in the home.
2. Reduced Nuisance Alarms.
The unit can tolerate up to 50% higher levels of cooking fumes and steam when
compared with normal optical sensor alarms.
3. Increased Longevity and Ruggedness.
The unit can tolerate up to 100% more dust and contamination build-up when
compared with normal optical sensor alarms. This is due to the unique automatic
DUST* compensation built into the unit which monitors the contamination in the smoke
sensing chamber and adjusts the alarm trigger point accordingly.
*DUST – Dust Ups Sensor Threshold.
Additionally, the optical sensor chamber features a fine mesh insect screen that is
bonded to the plastic of the chamber. This significantly improves immunity to insect
contamination.
B16351-R0-Ei2100 SERIES-USE.qxd 18/9/08 3:47 PM Page 7
4. Replace Alarm Indicator.
If the optical sensor chamber becomes very heavily contaminated, the amber fault
light will flash once every 40 seconds to inform the user. Action can then be taken to
replace the unit, long before the contamination causes nuisance alarms.
5. Alarm Memory.
After a the unit has gone into alarm, the red alarm light will flash twice (1 second apart)
every 40 seconds to indicate that the unit has alarmed in the previous 24 hours.
Additionally, pressing the test button on this unit will cause it to emit short, rapid beeps
instead of the normal alarm sound. Both these features allow easy identification, for
example, of the source of nuisance alarms during the night.
6. Single Person Interconnect Test
Pressing and holding the test button on the unit causes the alarm to sound. On
releasing the test button, the alarm will immediately cease but all interconnected
alarms will continue to sound for 3 seconds. This allows easy audible check of alarm
interconnection.
5. TESTING & MAINTAINING YOUR ALARM
INSPECTION & TESTING PROCEDURE
Check all your alarms weekly, and also after initial installation or after re-occupation (e.g.
following a holiday):
(i) Check that the green mains indicator light is on. (If it is off check circuit breakers, fuses
and wiring etc.) Check the red light on the cover flashes every 40 seconds.
