Carries the CE mark to indicate conformance to Low Voltage and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives. Wall mounted for ease of use – can be fixed with surface mount box supplied, or will fit a standard recessed box (not supplied). Suitable for siting at any convenient point in the property. Up to 4 x Ei1529RC switches can be installed in a hardwired system along with a maximum of 16 x 3000, 2110e, 160e or 140RC Series smoke and heat alarms or 261ENRC Carbon Monoxide alarms. The unit incorporates 3 switches marked ‘Locate’, ‘Test’ and ‘Hush’. These provide control features as detailed below and a mains check function as detailed below. ‘Locate’ – When the system is in an alarm state, pressing and releasing the ‘Locate’ switch will silence all alarms in the system except for the alarm that initiated the alarm state. This feature allows easy identification of either the source of a nuisance alarm, or the site of a real fire. Note: Pressing the ‘Locate’ switch temporarily disables the interconnect line between the alarms, it does not disable the individual alarms in the system. Each alarm is still fully functional as a stand-alone unit until the system automatically resets within 10 minutes of operation. The system can be manually reset at any time by pressing the ‘Test’ switch until all the alarms sound. ‘Test’ – Pressing the ‘Test’ switch into the ‘on’ position will test all the alarms in the system. This operation is equivalent to pressing the ‘Test’ button on all alarms in the system simultaneously and as such performs a true functional test of the system without having to reach up to each alarm in turn. Pressing the ‘Test’ switch overrides the ‘Location’ function and resets the system to standby. ‘Hush’ – Momentarily pressing the ‘Hush’ button switch allows remote silencing of false alarms. The system will reset automatically after approximately 10 minutes. In the unlikely event that a fire should occur during the ‘Hush’ period the feature will be overridden when sufficient smoke has entered the sensor chamber of the smoke alarms in the system, or sufficient CO has entered the sensor of the CO alarms in the system. Note: The ‘Hush’ feature will not operate if the CO alarm is sensing CO levels of 300ppm or above due to the increased danger. Main Check – Provides warning of mains failure, as the ‘Test’ feature will not operate in the absence of mains power. Easily installed via a 3 wire connection of live, Neutral and Interconnect/Control (as standard smoke/heat alarm wiring). Dimensions: 90mm x 90mm x 40mm deep. Weight inclusive of packaging: 240g.
