Wiring Explained
Mains powered Ei Electronics smoke and heat alarms require a 230V AC power supply and up to 12 alarms can be hardwire interlinked in one system.
To obtain a mains power supply, each alarm can be connected to the nearest lighting circuit using 2 core and earth cable with a separate, dedicated interlink cable connecting all alarms. However, if possible it is recommended that the alarms are all powered from a dedicated circuit from the distribution board using 3 core and earth cable for safety during maintenance, as the interlink cable will carry power from live alarms on other power circuits. Please see the diagram below:-

Easy to fit as a replacement and look good Bought 2 as replacements for 20 year old EI151TL. They covered over where the old alarms had been even though they were square so did not need masking plates. Work fine.

Seems OK but thankfully not activated In that frequent battery changes are not required , that is good and unit is more stylish. Otherwise OK. A keener price for multiple similar units would enable a change of the older units.

Had to replace alarms as old where no longer available. I like the optional to purchase with & without base. Good to place warning of products that are without base. Cheers
