MULTI-SENSOR FIRE ALARM FEATURES The state of the art EI2110 Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm, with its Heat enhanced Optical Smoke Sensor, has a significantly improved performance as described below. 1. Faster Response to a wider range of fires. The combination of the ultra fast temperature sensing thermistor and the high performance optical sensor within the unit, enhances the fire sensing performance such that the unit detects all the 7 diff

If the optical sensor chamber becomes very heavily contaminated, the amber fault light will flash once every 40 seconds to inform the user. Action can then be taken to replace the unit, long before the contamination causes nuisance alarms. 5. Alarm Memory. After a the unit has gone into alarm, the red alarm light will flash twice (1 second apart) every 40 seconds to indicate that the unit has alarmed in the pre

(The Ei2110 Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm can also be used and interconnected with an Ei166RC Optical Smoke Alarm or an Ei161RC Ionisation Smoke Alarm if necessary).

The Risk Assessment would be based on a combination of probabilities: - fire occurring - injury or death to occupant - system operating correctly with a fire - early detection and warning to occupants in the event of a fire. The greater the risks, the more comprehensive and reliable systems are needed. 3.1 Categories of System There are three Categories of LD systems f

This is acceptable according to BS 5839-6 provided there are clearly not going to be problems with nuisance alarms. Fit Heat Alarms only if nuisance alarms are very likely and it is acceptable that a warning will only be given by the Heat Alarm when there is a very significant flaming fire in the r

POSITIONING ALARMS The locations must comply with applicable building regulations. Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the preferred location. The air is “dead” and does not move in corners, therefore alarms must be mounted away from corners. Place th

Sloping Ceiling In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install the alarm 900mm from the highest point measured horizontally (see Figure 2). This is because “dead air” at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit. 4.1 Locations To Avoid DON’T place Multi-Sensor Fire Alarms in any of the following areas: • Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms w
