Our products are distributed to the trade locally via most electrical wholesalers throughout the UK.
Calibration The Answer to Reliable Detection Ei CO alarms made to exceed BS EN 50291: 2001 Precise and reliable calibration is now even more important The BS EN 50291 British and European Standard for CO Alarms requires a much lower trigger level than the previous BS 7860, which it supersedes. This is designed to give added protection to the more vulnerable members of society: the very young and the elderly.
How do Ei CO Alarms Work? Electrochemical Cell - Provides effective and responsive, long term detection Carbon Monoxide enters the sensor through a gas diffusion hole. A Graphite filter prevents any external contaminants from entering. A Platinum sensing electrode catalyses the oxidation of the CO. 1 Combining with the water present in the electrolyte, this reaction causes the voltage to rise. Consequently, a small current flows between the two electrodes.
Innovative Design & Practical Features Complete Visual Information Three separate indicating LED's provide visual information: healthy mains supply, CO level sensed/alarm status, and if a fault is detected during the unit's integral self-test. The alarm LED varies its rate of flash depending upon the CO level sensed - giving further information on any dangerous levels of CO. Operating the test button will also activate the memory feature and the LED will indicate the previous maximum CO level sensed.
Product Specifications Quick Test Feature Operating the Test button activates the quick CO gas test feature. The unit will then sample for CO 4 seconds later and give an audible and visual warning if CO is sensed - saving time and money particularly when testing units in a large number of properties. Reliable, Proven Sounder Giving an output of 85dB(A) at 3m, the alarm signal is loud. The piezo disc sounder element is securely held with silicone mastic to prevent creepage and premature failure.
260 Series - The Specifier’s First Choice Mains Powered Alarms With 10Yr+ Rechargeable Lithium Cells & Replaceable CO Sensor The Ei260 Series of Carbon Monoxide alarms are the highest specification units, designed to meet the most demanding requirements of a domestic installation in terms of reliability, longevity and performance. With sealed-in rechargeable cell back-up, a reliable power supply is virtually assured as casual removal of the battery is not possible.
Interconnect & Remote Control Feature Models Ei261ENRC & Ei261DENRC The Problem Audibility throughout the home is a priority, as a situation could arise where a CO alarm is installed in a downstairs kitchen, which has a fossil fuel burning appliance within it, and the alarm signal may not be heard in the upstairs bedrooms or indeed other rooms. The Solution! Use the interconnect feature on the Ei261ENRC/Ei261DENRC to connect to your existing Ei160RC smoke/heat alarm installation.
The Contractor's First Choice Mains Powered & Battery CO Alarms For Owner Occupied Properties The Ei225 Series of Carbon Monoxide alarms are designed to provide reliable mains powered CO detection. Using the same proven CO sensor as the Ei260 series, the unit is designed with performance in mind. Useful and practical features such as the built in pattress with integral terminal block and CO gas quick-test feature ensure straightforward installation and testing.
Product Information & Technical Guides We have a range of publications, each one dedicated and focussed for use by specifiers, installation contractors, end users and our distributors. These include advanced technical documents for those who wish to study the full implications of the British Standard and Building Regulations as applied to smoke alarms. We publish Frequently Asked Questions to provide on site solutions.
