Aico Ei Professional EI1529RC Alarm Control Switch for 2100 & 160RC Series Alarm

Product description

The Ei1529RC is a Remote Control Switch that runs on 230V AC mains power. It is designed for use with 2100, 160RC and 140RC Series smoke and heat alarms, and 260RC series Carbon Monoxide alarms.

It increases the flexibility and user friendliness of the alarms by allowing the user to remotely 'Locate, 'Hush and 'Test' the alarms in the system:

• Locate the source of the alarm
• Hush any nuisance alarms
• Test the alarm system
• Mains Check provides warning of a mains failure.

Operation

• If the alarm system is triggered, the system can be remotely controlled via the switch:
• 'Locate' Switch - Audibly identifies the alarm that has triggered by silencing all other alarms for approximately 10 minutes. Automatically resets after this period.
• 'Hush' Switch - Silences any nuisance alarms for approximately 10 minutes. Automatically resets after this period.
• 'Test' Switch - Causes all alarms in the system to sound. It is equivalent to pressing the test button on each alarm.
• Mains Check - Provides warning of a mains failure, as the Test feature will not operate in the absence of mains power.

5. The unit incorporates 3 switches marked Locate, Test and Hush. These provide control features as detailed in points 6, 7 and 8 below and a mains check function as per point 9 below.
6. Locate: When the systems is in an alarm state, pressing and releasing te Locate switch will silence all alarms in the system except for the alarm that initiated the alarm state. This feature allows easy identification of either the source of a nuisance alarm, or the site of a real fire. Note: Pressing the Locate switch temporarily disables the interconnect line between the alarms, it does not disable the individual alarms in the system. Each alarm is still fully functional as a stand-alone unit until the system automatically resets within 10 minutes of operation. The system can manually reset at any time by pressing the Test switch until all the alarms sound.
7. Test: Pressing the Test switch into the 'on' position will test all the alarms in the system simultaneously and as such performs a true functional test of the system without having to reach up to each alarm in turn. Pressing the Test switch overrides the Locate function and resets the system to standby.
8. Hush: Momentarily pressing the Hush switch allows remote silencing of false alarms. The system will reset automatically after approx 10 minutes. In the unlikely event that a fire should occur during the 'Hush' period the feature will be overridden when sufficient smoke has entered the sensor chamber of the Smoke Alarms in the system, or sufficient CO has entered the sensor of the CO alarms in the system. Note: the Hush feature will not operate if the CO alarm is sensing CO levels of 300ppm or above due to the increased danger.
9. Mains Check: Provides warning of mains failure,as the Test feature will not operate in the absence of mains power.
