The Ei141 is a mains‑powered ionisation smoke alarm with an alkaline back‑up battery. Because all Ei141 units rely on older ionisation technology, the range is now being phased out. If you need to replace an Ei141, the Ei146e optical smoke alarm is a direct, 100% compatible upgrade that fits your existing base plate and connects seamlessly to your current system. There’s no need to pay for an electrician or deal with any rewiring.

The Ei146e can interlink with any remaining Ei140/140RC series alarms, as well as a wide selection of other Ei Electronics / Aico models. Its modern optical sensor is far less prone to nuisance alarms, making it suitable for a wider variety of locations including rooms adjacent to kitchens, hallways, landings, bedrooms, and general living areas.

  • Power: 230V mains powered with back-up battery
  • Back-up Battery: Replaceable 9 Volt alkaline battery
  • Warranty: 5 year warranty
  • Suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and landings
  • High performance optical sensor most suitable for detecting slow, smouldering fires
  • Fits onto your existing Ei141 alarm base (easi-fit base included to keep as a spare)
  • Suitable for installations complying to BS 5839-6 Grade D2
  • CE and Kitemarked to BS EN 14604: 2005
  • Loud 85dB warning alarm with combined test / hush button

Please ensure that the power to all alarm circuits are switched off at the main fuse box before attempting to remove and replace the alarm.
