Kerrier Homes Standardises On Ei Alarms From AICO
Kerrier Homes Trust has now standardised on the Ei160 Series mains powered smoke alarms and Ei261 mains powered Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms from Aico for all their tenant safety requirements.
Ei Smoke Alarms Quick And Simple To Install
The Ei140 and 160 Series of mains powered smoke alarms are, according to exclusive UK distributor Aico, the quickest and simplest alarms to install thanks to their patented 'Easi-Fit' designs.
Additionally, because two separate sensors are being monitored, the unit offers improved resistance to false alarms.
This is further enhanced by a unique dust compensation feature that automatically adjusts for any contamination within the sensor whilst still retaining sensitivity to an actual fire.
The Ei2110 offers particular advantages in areas where risks are undetermined or variable, or where false alarms may be a particular problem, as well as areas where the highest level of protection is desirable.
As with all Aico RC Series alarms, the new Ei2110 also has Remote Control functionality, which allows it to be controlled remotely using an Ei1529RC Remote Control Switch.
This allows Test, Hush and Locate functions to be performed safely at ground level.
The Ei2110 runs on 230V AC mains power, but also features built-in, tamper-proof rechargeable Lithium cells as back-up.
These cells are designed to have a minimum life of over ten years and to outlast the unit itself.
The Ei2110 features Aico's own unique Easi-Fit technology, allowing very quick and simple alarm installation with no separate bases or connectors required.
The Easi-Fit base automatically connects both mains power and activates the rechargeable Lithium cells as the alarm head slides on.
The new Multi-Sensor alarm can be connected with up to eleven other Ei2110 or standard Ei160RC Series alarms.
It comes complete with a comprehensive five year guarantee and is Kitemarked to BS EN14604:2005 .
