Aico Ei3016 Optical Smoke Alarm

Aico Ei3016 Optical Smoke Alarm.

Product information: Aico Ei3016 Optical Smoke Alarm: Suitable for detecting Heat in both the kitchen or garage, the Ei3014 Heat Alarm contains our tried and tested high-performance Thermistor Heat sensor. The Thermistor has been designed using a smaller thermal mass, providing a faster alarm response when the trigger temperature of 58°C is reached. Best for detecting heat build-up from large flaming fires, it can differentiate from smoke or steam to drastically reduce false alarms.

Safety information:

Smoke alarms are essential for every home. They should always be combined with a heat alarm placed in the kitchen. All smoke and heat alarms should be mounted on the ceiling and be interlinked. Interlinked alarms are when one alarm is triggered all the alarms will go off simultaneously. This means you can be alerted no matter where you are in your home.

Specialised smoke and heat alarms

There are a range of specialised alarms for people with sight, hearing, mobility issues or other special needs. These include mains-powered smoke alarms with back-up batteries, and vibrating pads and flashing lights that warn people who cannot hear well.

Looking after your alarms:

Never

• Take the batteries out, even for a short time
• Paint over or put stickers on the smoke alarm

Every week

• Test your smoke alarm by pressing the ‘test’ button. If it doesn’t sound, fit a new battery. If it still doesn’t sound, fit a new alarm

Every year

• Replace the battery (unless you have a special ‘long-life’ alarm with a built in battery).
  Choose a date you’ll remember easily to do this, like a birthday or anniversary
• Keep it clean and dust free.
  Gently vacuum the inside and outside casing. If you’re decorating or doing something that creates a lot of dust, use an elastic band to secure a plastic bag over the smoke alarm casing. Don’t forget to take it off when you’re done.

Every ten years

• Replace each smoke and heat alarm. The material inside smoke alarms that makes them work gets tired as it gets old. This is also true for carbon dioxide detectors.
