The Ei3016 is a mains powered optical smoke alarm with built in, self-charging back-up battery to provide power in the event of a mains outage. Fitted with a high performance optical smoke sensor, most suitable for detecting slow, smouldering fires, the alarm also contains an integrated insect screen and automatic dust compensation measures to reduce the number of false alarms. Fitted with AudioLINK technology, the Ei3016 allows you to extract real time data from the alarm directly to your smart phone. It is also compatible with the Ei3000MRF SmartLINK module which allows for radio-interlinking between alarms.
Please Note: The Ei3000MRF SmartLINK module for radio-interlinking is sold separately.
