Product Description

Alarm Compatibility

The Ei170RF is compatible with the 3000 Series, 600 Series and 140 Series, along with any interconnected Carbon Monoxide Alarms. It links into the alarm system using RadioLINK wireless interconnection technology, making it easier to add into a system and causing less disruption to the occupants on installation.

RadioLINK Technology

As with other RadioLINK products the Ei170RF will need to be linked into the alarm system or ‘House Coded’.
An integral ‘Test’ button is also present on the front of the unit, allowing an easy means of testing the strobe, vibration pad and the RadioLINK enabled alarms in the system.

Operation of the Ei170RF

The green ‘power’ indicator light on the front of the strobe unit will illuminate to show mains power is present.

On receipt of a RadioLINK alarm or test signal, the strobe will flash, and the vibration pad will be activated. the red ‘Alarm’ indicator light will also flash.

Pressing the ‘Test’ button will check and activate the strobe and vibration pad. The unit will also send out a RadioLINK alarm signal that will activate all RadioLINK units in the system.

Technical Specification

  • A strobe and vibrating pillow pad is designed to give warning of an emergency activation to deaf and hard of hearing occupants.
  • For use with 3000 and 140 Series (when used with a RadioLINK base, RadioLINK+ module or the SmartLINK module) RadioLINK Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms. It can also be used with all other RadioLINK devices, including the 600 Series RadioLINK smoke and heat alarms.
  • Eliminates the need for any cabling between the Ei170RF and the smoke, heat and/or CO alarms used in the system.
  • Requires 230V AC, 50Hz mains power supply.
  • The unit has a built-in high-intensity LED strobe (flash rate 0.8Hz) with a wide light output angle.
  • Built-in long life sealed rechargeable battery to provide back-up power in the event of mains failure.
  • Mains transformer is mounted in separate and hard-wired to the strobe unit with 4m of low voltage cable. Supplied with 2m of mains cable and pre-wired 13 amp plug (with a 3 amp fuse).
    Integrated ‘Test’ button on the front of the unit. Pressing this checks strobe and control circuitry and also send out a RadioLINK alarm signal to other units in the system.
  • The vibrating pillow pad is suitable for mounting under mattresses or pillows and produces strong, pulsed vibrations suitable for waking sleepers. Supplied with locking plug and 5m of pre-wired cable.
  • A clock input socket is also available. This is for use will alarm clocks that have a 3.5mm mono jack output and saves the need for multiple vibration pads. An input of 5-12V (AC or DC mains isolated) will turn on the vibration pad (constant vibration pattern) but will not activate the strobe or auxiliary sockets.
  • Radio frequency: 868MHz band in accordance with R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC – this band has been designed for use with security products and only allows a 1% duty cycle, so continuous transmission and interference from external sources is extremely remote, and would be illegal.
  • Complies with EN300220-2V2.1.1.
  • RF Range: The type of building will be the major limiting factor e.g. the number and type of walls/ceilings that the radio signal has to pass through. As a guide, 30m should be the maximum distance between any of the RadioLINK units in the system.
  • Up to 12 RadioLINK units can be used in one system. For larger systems contact our Technical Department for guidance.
  • Units are in factory code when received (they will all communicate with each other). They must be ‘House Coded’ to eliminate the risk of adjacent properties communicating with each other. After ‘House Coding’ they will only communicate with other RadioLINK units coded at the same time.
  • The product is CE marked to indicate conformance to directives – EMC (89/336/EEC) tested to EN50130-4; Low Voltage (73/23/EEC) tested to EN60065; R&TTE (1999/5/EC) tested to EN300220-2V2.1.1.
  • Designed for wall or surface mounting.
  • Dimensions: Control box – 195mm x 125mm x 75mm. Mains adapter – 60mm x 50mm x 90mm
  • Weight: Control box – 770g. Mains adapter – 600g
  • Ambient Temperature Range: 4°C to 40°C.
  • Humidity Range: 15 to 95% relative humidity.
  • 5 year guarantee.
  • Manufactured in Ireland.
