Wiring Explained
The Ei160e series of smoke and heat alarms require a 230V AC mains power supply. Up to 12 alarms can be hard wire interlinked on one circuit.
To obtain a mains feed, the first alarm can be connected to the nearest lighting circuit using 2 core and earth cable. From this alarm, 3 core and earth cable is required for all additional alarms, which allows for the hard wire interlink to work. Please see the diagram below:-
Alternatively, the alarms can be hard wired using a dedicated circuit from the distribution board.

Easy to install and look good Bought two units that are interlinked by a cable connection. Test function works as per instructions guide. Great pre-sales advice in identifying products to replace older obsolete models.

Bought to replace obsolete model, easy to fit and regularly test so you know it'll work if it's ever needed. I had a fitting query and my call was answered by Julie. She was friendly and answered my technical query immediately. She really is a great ambassador for your company and I'd like my thanks to her noted.
