<b>Product Description</b>
The Ei176 is a complete smoke alarm system designed for the deaf and hard of hearing. The system includes the Ei173 control panel, Ei174 vibrating pad and Ei105CD optical smoke alarm.
The Ei173 control panel includes a high intensity Xenon strobe, a sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery for standby use in the event of mains failure and all the required circuitry to connect to the Ei105CD smoke alarm and Ei174 vibrating pad
The Ei173 control panel also incorporates a Test button and circuitry to continuously monitor the system wiring
The Ei174 vibrating pad is designed to be placed under the mattress or pillow to waken people who fail to respond to the strobe alarm
Up to 11 other smoke/heat alarms (Ei100C/105C/103C) can be interconnected to the master smoke alarm Ei100CD. The smoke alarms are all powered from the control panel and in the event of mains failure the rechargeable battery in the panel will power the entire system, including the smoke alarms, for one week.
- The green indicator will illuminate to show mains power is present
- The red indicator will flash once every second to show that the mains supply is off and the system is running on battery backup power
- The red indicator will go off as the battery becomes depleted (with mains off) The slide switch on the control panel disconnects mains and battery power from the control panel and extinguishes both LED indicators
- The “Test” button will check the strobe, vibration pad and panel
- When the Ei105CD optical smoke alarm is activated, the Ei173 control panel will flash the strobe at 1Hz and activate the vibrating pad
- The interconnect wiring from the smoke alarm to the control panel is monitored so that if the smoke alarm is not connected or if it is open/short circuit, then the strobe will flash and the vibrating pad will turn on
- An auxiliary socket allows the connection of an extra strobe or vibrating pad
