Aico RadioLINK Alarm for Deaf 230V with Strobe / Vibrating Pad – Ei170RF
The Ei170RF is a mains powered with rechargeable battery back up, alarm kit for the deaf and hard of hearing. The kit contains a Xenon strobe light that provide and plug in vibrating pillow pad that will activate when the interconnected alarms are triggered to alert the user to the danger.
The Ei170RF kit is compatible with the 3000, Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm Ei2110e, 160e Series alarms and 140RC Series smoke and heat alarms, along with any interconnected Carbon Monoxide alarms. This kit links into the alarm system using RadioLINK wireless interconnection technology, making it easier to add into a system and causing less disruption to the occupants on installation.
An integral ‘Test’ button is also present on the front of the unit, allowing an easy means of testing the strobe, vibration pad and the RadioLINK enabled alarms in the system.
As with other RadioLINK products the Ei170 Alarm Kit for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing will need to be linked into the alarm system or ‘House Coded’. View our step by step guide to House Coding here.
Technical Specification
- A strobe and vibrating pillow pad kit designed to give warning of fire to deaf and hard of hearing occupants. For use with 3000, 2110e, 160e and 140RC Series smoke and heat alarms (when used with a RadioLINK base, RadioLINK+ module or the SmartLINK module) RadioLINK Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms. It can also be used with all other RadioLINK devices/ancillaries, including the 600 Series RadioLINK smoke and heat alarms.
- Eliminates the need for any cabling between the Ei170 RF and the smoke, heat and/or CO alarms used in the system.
- Requires 230V AC, 50Hz mains power supply.
- The unit has a built-in high-intensity Xenon strobe (flash rate 0.8Hz) with a wide light output angle.
- Built-in long life sealed lead acid rechargeable battery to provide back-up power in the event of mains failure. Standby capacity 7 days (followed by 15 minutes alarm) lifespan, 5 years in normal use. The battery is connected by plugging it into the socket in the bottom of the battery box.
- Comprehensive indicating lights on front of the unit:
- Power – Constant green to indicate mains is present, flashes amber every 4 seconds with mains absent.
- Alarm (red) – Flashes every second when the unit has been triggered.
- Fault (amber) – Flashes every 4 seconds if a fault is detected with panel/vibration pad. Flashes every 4 seconds if rechargeable back-up battery is depleted or faulty.
- RF status (blue) – Illuminates when RF signal is being sent, flashes in ‘House Code’ mode to indicate the number of units learned. Flashes every 40 seconds if RadioLINK smoke alarms have a low battery.
- Mains transformer is mounted in separate and hard-wired to the strobe unit with 4m of low voltage cable. Supplied with 2m of mains cable and pre-wired 13 amp plug (with a 3 amp fuse).
- Integrated ‘Test’ button on the front of the unit. Pressing this checks strobe and control circuitry and also send out a RadioLINK alarm signal to other units in the system.
- The vibrating pillow pad is suitable for mounting under mattresses or pillows and produces strong, pulsed vibrations suitable for waking sleepers. Supplied with locking plug and 5m of pre-wired cable.
- Connecting sockets on rear of unit as follows:
- Vibration Pad socket – Locking socket (JST type VHR-2N). Is pulsed when unit is in alarm.
- Auxiliary sockets – Two auxiliary sockets are available on the rear of the unit to allow connection of additional strobes etc. Locking sockets (JST type VHR-2N). Each provides 12V/200mA when unit is in alarm. Can be used for any of the following: Auxiliary strobe Ei178, auxiliary vibration pad Ei174, or for triggering a radio pager.
- A clock input socket is also available. This is for use will alarm clocks that have a 3.5mm mono jack output and saves the need for multiple vibration pads. An input of 5-12V (AC or DC mains isolated) will turn on the vibration pad (constant vibration pattern) but will not activate the strobe or auxiliary sockets.
- Radio frequency: 868MHz band in accordance with R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC – this band has been designed for use with security products and only allows a 1% duty cycle, so continuous transmission and interference from external sources is extremely remote, and would be illegal. Complies with EN300220-2V2.1.1.
- RF Range: The type of building will be the major limiting factor e.g. the number and type of walls/ceilings that the radio signal has to pass through. As a guide, 30m should be the maximum distance between any of the RadioLINK units in the system.
- Up to 12 RadioLINK units can be used in one system. For larger systems contact our Technical Department for guidance.
