The Problem
Audibility
throughout the home is a priority, as a situation could arise
where a CO alarm is installed in a downstairs kitchen, which
has a fossil fuel burning appliance within it, and the alarm
signal may not be heard in the upstairs bedrooms or indeed
other rooms.
The Solution!
Use the interconnect feature on the Ei261EN/Ei261DEN
to connect to your existing Ei smoke/heat alarm installation.
Then, you must introduce an Ei159 Alarm Locator Switch to
provide control over the whole system.
The interconnect feature
allows the CO alarm to trigger all Ei mains smoke/heat alarms
installed and vice-versa - giving increased audibility in
either a CO or fire situation. If all alarms are sounding,
pressing the Ei159 Alarm Locator Switch will silence all the
alarms except the alarm sensing a CO or fire situation. This
gives control over the system and allows occupants to select
the safest action and/or escape route.
