FAQ

What type of fires does the Ei3016 detect best?

The Ei3016 uses optical sensor technology, making it particularly effective at detecting slow smouldering fires that produce visible smoke particles. This makes it ideal for areas where smouldering fires from furniture, fabrics, or electrical equipment are more likely to occur.

AudioLINK+ is a built-in data extraction technology that allows service engineers to access diagnostic information from the alarm using a compatible handheld device. This enables easy testing, maintenance records, and system diagnostics without removing the alarm from its base.

Can multiple Ei3016 alarms be interconnected?

Yes, the Ei3016 can be upgraded to wireless interconnection using the optional Ei3000MRF SmartLINK module. This allows multiple alarms to communicate wirelessly, so when one alarm detects smoke, all connected alarms will sound simultaneously.

Where should I install the Ei3016 smoke alarm?

The Ei3016 is suitable for installation in hallways, landings, living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Avoid installing in kitchens or bathrooms where steam and cooking fumes might cause false alarms. Follow BS EN14604:2005 guidelines for optimal placement.
