House Coding SmartLINK, RadioLINK+ and RadioLINK Products

How to set up a SmartLINK, RadioLINK+ and RadioLINK interconnected system (House Coding)

SmartLINK, RadioLINK+ and RadioLINK use Radio Frequency signals for wireless interconnection making installation quick and simple. Once you have installed all your RadioLINK products you will need to set them up in a system to recognise each other and then close this system off to avoid the alarms being triggered by neighbouring systems – we call this House Coding.

A Guide to House Coding

House Coding Ei3000 SmartLINK Modules, RadioLINK+ devices or Ei168RC RadioLINK Bases

• Step 1 – Ensure you have inserted Ei3000MRF SmartLINK modules into your 3000 Series.
• Step 2 – Push a screwdriver into the House Code slot on the side of the alarm or Ei168RC RadioLINK Base or press the black House Code button located on the back of the alarm for the 600 Series.
• Step 3 – Hold it in until the blue LED comes on solidly, then release.
• Step 4 – Remove the screwdriver and the blue LED will flash once every 5 seconds (approx.) to indicate that it is in House Code mode and is looking for other alarms.
• Step 5 – Repeat the House Code process in Steps 1-4 above with all the bases or alarms in your system.
• Step 6 – All the bases in the system will start to flash blue. Check that the number of flashes is the same as the number of alarms in the system, e.g. if there are 3 alarms, the blue LED will flash 3 times every 5 seconds on every alarm. Please note, the Ei3030 and Ei3028 will give 2 flashes each.
• Step 7 – Once the correct number of flashes is present on every unit, insert a screwdriver into the House Code slot on the side of one of the alarms or bases, or press the black House Code button until the blue LED comes on solidly, then release.
• Step 8 – The blue LEDs on all units will now stop flashing and the entire system will automatically ‘seal’.
• Step 9 – The alarm system has now been House Coded. Press and hold the test button on each alarm in turn and check that all alarms in the system sound.

Although we recommend the above procedure for House Coding and sealing a SmartLINK, RadioLINK+ or RadioLINK system, it is worth noting that the system will manually seal itself after 30 minutes once put into House Code mode.
