Yes, to connect several smoke detectors together, you need a radio module for each smoke detector. The Ei600MRF radio module is suitable for the Ei600 series and enables the devices to be networked via radio. It is plugged into the back of the smoke detector and eliminates the need for cable connections.
The smoke detector does not flash permanently as a control indicator during normal operation. In normal operation, the LED is switched off so that the detector is suitable for use in bedrooms. The LED only flashes at certain intervals in certain states such as alarm, low battery or fault. For example, the LED flashes once in the event of a battery warning and quickly every 0.5 seconds in the event of an alarm. There is no regular, occasional flashing to check operation.
The Ei650 smoke detector does not react to carbon monoxide. It is specially designed as a smoke detector and works on the scattered light principle to detect smoke. Separate carbon monoxide warning devices are required to detect carbon monoxide.
Yes, the Ei650 smoke detector from Ei Electronics fulfils the requirements of the SN EN 14604 "Smoke alarms" standard. Here are some relevant details:
- The smoke detector is certified in accordance with DIN EN 14604.
- It also fulfils the requirements of vfdb guideline 14-01 and has the Q label of the VdS (Association of Loss Insurers), which confirms its conformity with the relevant standards.
Since I haven't had the smoke alarms for that long, I haven't experienced this myself yet.
According to the instructions, the smoke alarm then beeps about every 32 seconds and the LED flashes at the same interval.
There is also an expiry date printed on the side.
Drilling is provided. But I hung mine (three) with double-sided adhesive. Or maybe the adhesive strips were even included. In any case, drilling is not necessary. :)
I bought this smoke detector some time ago. In the instructions it says under siting. UNSuitable locations: DO NOT place the smoke alarms in the following areas: Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation or fumes. A heat alarm is more suitable in the bathroom.
I don't have the impression that this is the case. The manual was only in German. I only use it as a simple detector. It's fine in that respect. Solid and working. Still have to make a hole in the ceiling to fix it.
