WARNING: This Remote Control should be installed by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the Requirements for Electrical Installations published by the
IET as BS7671:2001.
1. Disconnect the AC mains power supply from the circuit that is going to be
used to power the Smoke/Heat Alarms and the Remote Control.
2. Locate and install the Alarms as per the ‘Installer Instructions’ included with
the alarms.
3. Select a suitable location for the Remote Control as per the ‘SITING’ section
on page 1 of this leaflet.
4. Route the wiring (Live, Neutral, Interconnect/Control and Earth) to this point.
A minimum 0.75mm
2
cable should be used.
5. Fix the mounting box provided to the wall for surface mounting or alternately,
fix a back box (not included) into the wall if recessed mounting is required.
6. Pass the wiring through an appropriate knockout in the mounting box or back-box.
7. Connect the wiring as shown in Figures 1 & 2 below.
(N.B. The Remote Control does not need to be earthed. However the terminal
marked with the earth symbol is provided for the convenience of the installer so that
any copper earth wire or cable coloured green & yellow, can be safely terminated).
8. Fix the Remote Control to the mounting
box or back-box.
9. Reconnect the AC mains power to the
circuit and check that the green mains
indicator lights on the Alarms are on.
10. Test the function of the Remote Control
as outlined in the ‘WEEKLY TESTING’
section on page 4 of this leaflet.
Ensure all wiring is correctly connected otherwise the Control Switch
and all connected units may be damaged.
Do not apply the high voltage insulation test to the wiring as all connected
units may be damaged. If it is necessary to check insulation, temporarily
remove all Alarms and the Ei1529RC switch.
If a metal back-box is used (for recessed mounting) it must have a minimum
depth of 35mm.

UTION
• Locate Alarm – primarily used to identify the Alarm sensing fire.
When all the alarms are sounding due to a fire (or nuisance alarm):
Press and release the spring loaded Locate Alarm switch. This will silence
all the alarms except those sensing fire / CO.
This is a very useful feature. For example, consider twelve alarms sounding
simultaneously, then the unit sensing the fire can be identified audibly and
the premises evacuated or the problem quickly resolved.
• Silence Alarm - used to silence nuisance alarms. This should only be
pressed after the Locate switch has been used to identify the alarm that
triggered the system, and it is determined that no fire is present.
Do not Silence the alarms unless you are sure there is no fire.
To Silence the alarms, press and release the Silence Alarm switch.
What to do when the Alarms are sounding
1.If there is a fire, immediately evacuate the premises and telephone the fire
brigade from outside.
2. When the alarms are sounding and the cause is not obvious,
immediately press the ‘Locate Alarm’ switch. This will silence all the
alarms except those sensing fire themselves.
3. Locate the alarm(s) sensing fire audibly. Be careful, check doors are not
warm and that there is no sign of smoke before you open them (See
escape plan in Smoke/Heat Alarm instructions for further details).
4. If you are fully satisfied that there is no fire, but the smoke/heat alarm is
still continuing to alarm then press the ‘Silence Alarm’ switch.
