Aico Ei164RC 230v Heat Alarm with Rechargeable Back-up 

The Ei164RC is a heat alarm that runs of 230V AC mains power, and has built in tamper-proof rechargeable Lithium cells that act as a battery back-up in the event of mains failure. These rechargeable cells are designed to have a ten-year life and outlast the life of the heat alarm itself, whilst providing up to 6 months of heat alarm operation without mains power. The alarm gives a fire warning when the temperature at the unit reaches 58oC. Heat alarms are designed for the use in kitchens and garages, where the use of optical or ionsation alarms would lead to unwanted nuisance alarms.

The alarm is supplied with an Easi-fit base that allows very quick and simple installation of the smoke alarm, combined with simple alarm head removal and replacement. The Easi-fit base automatically connects both mains power and battery as the detector slides on. The alarm can be controlled by either a “test, silence or locate” switch (Ei1529RC) or a manual call point (MCP401RC). If the alarm is connected to other EI RC Mains powered alarms then the whole system can be controlled remotely. Up to 20 alarms can be interconnected.

The alarm has other advanced features such as built in circuitry to aid suppression of voltage transients and RF interference to further reduce the chances of false alarms under such conditions. The alarm has a one person test feature which allows a person to test if the alarms are interconnecting. When releasing the test button, the other alarms in the system will continue to sound for a further 2 seconds so you can hear if they’re linking together. The alarm has a memory feature which will indicate if an alarm has been previously activated within a 24 hour period by flashing twice every 40 seconds.
