Aico Ei168RC easi-fit RF Base – Features

• The Aico Ei168RC RadioLINK Base is an easi-fit mounting plate with built-in RadioLINK – a technology which provides wireless interconnect between alarms, i.e. when one alarm is triggered, all alarms in the system sound. This base is mains powered unit with a rechargeable lithium cell back-up, to be used instead of the easi-fit base to enable the alarms to have RadioLINK capabilities. The Aico Ei168RC RadioLINK base is compatible with all the Aico 140RC Series alarms Aico Ei146RC, Aico Ei144RC, and Aico Ei141RC.
• The other series of Aico alarms – the Aico 160e Series and Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm – use a RadioLINK Module, Aico Ei100MRF, directly into the head of the alarm to gain RadioLINK+ capabilities instead of a base.
• Once all the alarms have been installed the RadioLINK system is secured by a special House Coding function to safeguard the system from interference from other RF systems.
• Aico Ei168RC allows for easy expansion of an existing hard-wired interconnected system. A mixed wired and wireless system is often referred to as a hybrid system. To set a hybrid system up Simply fit one Ei168RC base to an alarm in the existing alarms and any new alarms with Ei168RC bases. Once installation is complete House Code the alarms together into a system. If any alarm, hard-wired or wireless, is now triggered it will sound all the alarms in the system.
