1. Overview
This version of the Ei168RC retains all the functionality of previous generations but
has some additional features. It can be easily distinguished from previous versions by
the blue LED on the side which replaces the amber LED.
The primary function of the RadioLINK base is to interconnect all Alarms in the system,
i.e. when one Alarm senses fire, the Ei168RC base attached to that Alarm will transmit
an RF signal that will activate the sounders in all the other Alarms.
The Ei168RC also supports Remote Control (RC) functionality. If the system has been
fitted with one or more Remote Controllers or switches (
See Works with table)

Description
All the Alarms can be tested from a centralised location
Warning: We strongly recommend that a RadioLINK controller be fitted in systems with five or more
RadioLINK alarms. This will avoid issues with controlling and silencing systems that have been activated
by nuisance (unwanted) alarms
Remote Locating This will silence all the Alarms in the system except
the one sensing the fire
Remote Silencing This will silence all the Alarms in the system

2. Quick Install Guide
The Ei168RC RadioLINK Base must be installed by a qualified electrician.
The maximum number of RadioLINK Alarms in each system is 12. If your system
has more than 12 Alarms please consult your supplier or contact tech support (see
back page).
Install each RadioLINK Base in the centre of the
ceiling at least 0.30m from light fittings as per
the Smoke/Heat Alarm instructions and connect
to nearest mains circuit.
Slide Alarm on to the Ei168RC RadioLINK Base.
This will automatically activate the rechargeable
back-up cells in the base.
Repeat this procedure for all Alarms in the
system.

To House Code, insert a small screwdriver
into the House Code switch slot and remove
immediately when blue light comes on. Repeat
this for all alarms in the system. This must be
completed as quickly as possible to activate the
House Code mode and ensure the system only
communicates with itself and not neighbouring
systems.
It is essential that the RadioLINK Bases are House Coded.
Press and hold the Button to test each Alarm.
Check that the red light is flashing, the horn is
sounding. To ensure the Alarm is communicating
with others check that the blue light comes on
for approx 3 seconds.
Before testing the next alarm allow a minimum
of one minute after the last alarm has stopped
sounding from the previous test.
This guide is for quick referencing only. You must read the user manual
thoroughly before installation and use.

Mains operated products should be installed by a qualified electrician
as per the requirements for Electrical Installations published as IEE
Wiring Regulations – BS7671 current edition.
Failure to install this unit correctly may expose the user to shock or fire
hazards.
This unit is not waterproof and must not be exposed to dripping or
splashing liquids.
Mixing the Live and Neutral connections will damage the alarm. Ensure
that the same colours are used throughout the premises for Live,
Neutral and Interconnect wires (if used).
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
The Ei168RC must NOT be connected when the house wiring
insulation is being checked with high voltages. i.e. Do NOT use a high
voltage insulation tester on the Ei168RC.
WARNING
Alternative Energy Sources (Wind, Solar, UPS, etc.).
This product is designed to be connected to a Pure or True Sine Wave
230 Vac supply. If connecting to a power source that utilises an inverter,
e.g. PV solar panel or UPS, the To tal Harmonic Distortion (THD) must
be less than 5%. If in doubt check with manufacturer of the inverter.
Light Dimmer Circuits
This product must not be powered from a light dimmer circuit.
Orientation of RadioLINK bases
It is best practice to align all the RadioLINK bases in the same direction as shown in
the diagram above. This will ensure that all the antennas are in parallel which will
maximise the RF signal strength.

Fixing & Wiring
Select a location complying with the advice in
the Smoke/Heat Alarm instruction leaflet.
Disconnect the AC mains supply from the circuit
that is going to be used.
Remove the cover from the terminal block as
shown here.
Bring the mains wires through the ceiling and
thread them through the hole in the rear of
the base.
If the mains wires are being brought along
the surface, break the knockout and trim to
accommodate the conduit.
