1. INTRODUCTION

The Ei408 is a battery powered RadioLINK Module that accepts an

input from a set of Volt-Free switched contacts (e.g. flow switch

contacts on a sprinkler system).

On receipt of a switched input, the Ei408 sends out a RadioLINK

alarm signal to trigger all other RadioLINK alarms/bases in the

system into alarm.

2. INSTALLATION

It is recommended that you install all other RadioLINK devices that

will form part of the system before installing the Ei408 Module.

Note:

All RadioLINK units should be located in their final

positions before House Coding is carried out.

The Ei408 should not be mounted close to any metal

objects, metal structures or fitted to a metal back-box.

1. Remove the front plate of the Ei408 by unscrewing the two screws

and then fix the back-box to a solid surface using the screws

provided. (Do not recess mount the back-box).

2. Neatly run wiring from the Volt-Free switched contacts that will be

used to trigger the Ei408 through one of the knockouts in the back-

box and connect to the terminal block as shown in Figure 1.

3. Switch on the built-in battery by sliding the yellow battery switch to

the “on” position (see Figure 2).

4. Press and hold the House Code button (shown in Figure 2) until the

red light on the front plate of the Ei408 illuminates solidly. As soon

as the light illuminates, release the House Code button. The red

light should start to flash slowly (this indicates that the Ei408 is

sending out its own unique House Code signal).

5. Screw the front plate back onto the back-box.

6. As quickly as possible put all other RadioLINK devices that are part

of the system into House Code mode (see individual instruction

leaflets). This must be done within 15 minutes of putting the Ei408

into House Code mode (step 4 above).

In House Code mode, all the RadioLINK devices will ‘learn’ and

memorise each others unique House Code. Once House Coded, a

RadioLINK device will only respond to other RadioLINK devices

that it has in its memory.

7. Check that the number of amber light flashes (for RadioLINK

bases) or blue light flashes (for RadioLINK alarms) corresponds to

the number of RadioLINK devices in the system. For example, with

3 Ei168RC RadioLINK bases and 1 Ei408 Module in the system

there should be 4 amber light flashes on each Ei168RC base

(Note: The red light flashes from the Ei408 do not relate to the

number of RadioLINK devices. The flashes simply show that it is

sending out its own unique House Code).

8. Remove the Ei408 from House Code mode by unscrewing the front

plate and then pressing and holding the House Code button until the

red light illuminates solidly. As soon as it illuminates solidly, release

the House Code button.The red light should stop flashing. Re-fit the

front plate back onto the back-box. (Note: The Ei408 will

automatically exit House Code mode after 15 minutes from it initially

being put into House Code mode, so this step may not be required).

9. Remove all other RadioLINK devices from House Code mode (see

individual instruction leaflets).

All RadioLINK devices will automatically exit House Code mode

after either 15 or 30 minutes (depending upon device). However, if

left in House Code mode for these periods, problems could occur if

a nearby system is being House Coded at the same time (i.e. two

different systems could become coded together). To prevent this it

is recommended that all RadioLINK devices in a system are taken

out of House Code mode once it is determined that they are all

coded together.

3. CHECKING AND TESTING

The Ei408 is an important alarm device and should be tested after

installation and then regularly to ensure correct operation as follows.

a) Check that the light on the front plate flashes green every 40

seconds to show that the battery power is healthy.

b) The module should be tested regularly with the external switch

device (e.g. use a test button on the external device). The light should

turn red and stay on continuously for 3 seconds and then flashes red

(once every 20 seconds) for 5 minutes indicating a repeat

transmission of the alarm signal. (Note: after 5 minutes the RF alarm

signal ceases and therefore the smoke alarms will stop alarming. This

prevents the batteries in the Ei408 module from being depleted.

c) Check that all the RadioLINK units are now in alarm. If everything

is satisfactory, cancel the test. Check all the RadioLINK units are

switched off. (If some or all of the alarms have not been activated,

then the House Coding procedure should be repeated. If there are still

some problems, see the section on “Troubleshooting”.)

Low Battery

If the light flashes amber every 9 seconds this indicates that the

batteries are depleted and the Ei408 may no longer be able to send

an alarm signal. The unit must be removed from its location and

returned for repair if still with the guarantee period, (see Sections 7 &

8 for details).

If the end of life has been reached (see “REPLACE BY” label on the

side of the mounting box) dispose according to local guidelines and

regulations (see label on the inside of unit).

4. TROUBLE SHOOTING RF LINK

If, when checking the RadioLINK interconnection, some of the alarms

do not respond to the Ei408 test (as outlined in section 3), then:

(i) Ensure the Ei408 has been activated correctly and the red light has

come on continuously for 3 seconds and then continues to flash red

every 20 seconds.

(ii) Ensure that there is an Alarm/Base set as a "Repeater" within a

few metres of the Ei408. If Ei168RC RadioLINK Bases are being

used, they are set as "Repeaters" as standard and so an additional

base (with alarm) may need to be installed. If Ei405 and/or Ei405TY

RadioLINK Smoke Alarms are being used, set the alarm that is

closest to the Ei408 into "Repeater" mode (see individual instruction

leaflet).

(iii) There are a number of reasons why the radio signals may not

reach all the RadioLINK units in your system (see Section 5 on

“Limitations of Radio Communications”). Try rotating the units or re-

locating the units (e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or wiring)

as this can significantly improve signal reception.

Rotating and/or relocating the units may move them out of the range

of existing units even though they may have already been House

Coded correctly in the system. It is important therefore to check that

all units are communicating in their final installed positions. If units are

rotated and/or resited, we recommend that all units are returned to

the factory settings (see their respective use and care instructions).

Then House Code all units again in their final positions. The radio

interconnection should then be checked again.

Clearing the House Codes:

If it is necessary at some stage to clear the House Codes on the

Ei408.

• Remove the front plate of the Ei408 from the back-box.

• Slide the battery switch off. Wait 5 seconds and then slide switch

back on.

• Press and hold the House Code button for approx 6 seconds, until

the red light turns on, then flashes slowly. Release the button and the

red light will go out.

• Re-fit the front plate to the back-box.

Note: clearing the House Codes will reset the Ei408 to the original

factory settings. It will now only communicate with un-coded units

(see instruction leaflets for information on how to un-code other

RadioLINK devices).

5. LIMITATIONS OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are

tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power

and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some

limitations to be considered:

(i) Radio equipment, such as the Ei408, should be tested regularly to

determine whether there are sources of interference preventing

communication. The radio paths may be disrupted by moving furniture

or renovations, and so regular testing protects against these and

other faults.

(ii) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near

their operating frequencies, regardless of the House Coding.

The Ei408 has been tested to EN 300 220-1 V1.3.1 (2000-09) in

accordance with the requirements of EN 300 220V1.1.1 (2000-09).

These tests are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment

generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio and television reception.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. Interference from the Smoke Alarm system can

be identified by turning the whole system off. To turn off the Ei408

remove the front plate and slide the yellow battery switch to the “off”

position (see Figure 2). Refer to the instructions supplied with the

other products used for information on these. The user is encouraged

to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

(i) Re-locate the unit.

(ii) Increase the distance between the Ei408 and the device being

affected.

(iii) Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/television technician.

6. END OF LIFE

The Ei408 is designed to last 10 years in normal use. However the

unit must be replaced if:

1. The light on the front plate does not flash green every 40 seconds.

2. The unit is over 10 years old (see “REPLACE BY” label on the side

of the unit).

3. If during checking and testing, it fails to operate.

4. If the light on the front plate is flashing amber every 9 seconds

(indicating the long life battery is depleted).

The Ei408 must be powered off before disposing or recycling in

accordance with the directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical &

electronic equipment (WEEE).
