The Ei2110 Multi-Sensor, new from Aico, mains powered fire alarm, part of the iFire Specifier Range for social and rental properties.
The lack of hard wired interconnection also makes it easier to add or remove the unit to a property as tenants change.
The new Ei170RF is a RadioLINK system purpose-designed to provide warning of smoke / heat alarm activation to deaf or hard of hearing tenants.
It consists of a control box with integral strobe light and a separate plug-in vibration pad.
The control box itself uses RadioLINK RF technology to interconnect wirelessly to up to 12 other RadioLINK units in the property.
It has a built-in high intensity Xenon strobe with a specially designed lens that provides wide-angled light output.
An integral 'Test' button is also present on the front of the box, allowing a safe and easy means of testing the control box, the vibrating pad and the RadioLINK bases and alarms on the system.
Visual indicators confirm both RF transmission, power and battery status.
The control box can be wall or surface mounted to suit individual requirements.
The vibration pad has a simple plug-in connection to the control box and is designed to be placed under a pillow to wake people who fail to respond to the visual warning signal.
The Ei170RF is designed to be powered from a permanent mains supply, but also contains a sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery that will provide essential back-up power in the case of any mains failure.
The Ei170RF features advanced transceiver and signal coding technology coupled with a unique House-Coding feature to ensure robust and reliable RF signalling.
This House-Code feature allows a system of RadioLINK devices to be quickly and easily coded together to prevent any interference from neighbouring systems.
The Ei170RF comes complete with a full five year guarantee and conforms to BS EN 60065: 1998 (Electrical Safety), EN300220-3 (RF performance) and EN 301498-3 (EMC).
