The Ei154 is a mains powered heat alarm with a lithium back-up battery. Now that the Ei154 is now discontinued, Ei Electronics developed the new Ei3014 heat alarm as the most suitable replacement because it can interlink with any Ei150 series alarms remaining in your system. The rectangular base and connector of the Ei154 heat alarm is no longer supported and will need to be replaced by an electrician.
The Ei3014 replacement heat alarm features a high performance heat sensor that is ideal for locations where smoke alarms are liable to be falsely triggered by everyday household fumes, dust and moisture such as kitchens, lofts and garages. With a rechargeable lithium back-up battery, the mains powered Ei3014 will ensure you remain undisturbed by low battery warnings for up to 10 years.

Please note: Due to the manufacturer changing the design of their baseplates, you will require an electrician to install these alarms in place of your old Ei154 alarms. However, the same power and interlink wiring from your existing connector can be used for the new base.

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:-
Q. How can we test the alarm to make sure it is working?
A. The manufacturer's recommendation is to test the alarm by pressing the test button. This will simulate a heat input at the heat sensor. You can also test it with a hair dryer but make sure that the hairdryer is kept away at a suitable distance from the alarm. Do not attempt to test the alarm by using open fire or excessive heat as this may damage the unit.
