4. TROUBLESHOOTING RF LINK
If, when checking the radio link interconnection, some of the alarms
do not respond to the MCP test, then:

(i) Ensure the MCP has been activated correctly, the yellow edge is
visable, and the light has come on red continuously for 3 seconds and
then continues to flash red every 20 seconds.

(iii) Rotate/re-locate the other problematical RadioLink units. There
are a number of reasons why the radio link signals may not reach all
the smoke alarms in your system (see section 5 on “Limitations of
Radio Frequency Signals”). Try rotating the units or re-locating the
units (e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or wiring) as this can
significantly improve signal reception.

Rotating and/or relocating the units may move them out of the range
of existing units even though they may have already been house
coded correctly in the system. It is important therefore to check that
all units are communicating in their final installed positions. If units are
rotated and/or resited, we recommend that all units are returned to
the factory settings (see their respective use and care instructions).
Then house code all units again in their final positions. The radio link
interconnection should then be re-checked again.

Clearing the House Codes:
It may be necessary at some stage to clear the House Codes. (e.g. if you
wanted to use the MCP with different smoke alarms).
wanted to use the MCP with different smoke alarms).
To clear the house codes:
• Remove the MCP from the mounting box.
• Slide the battery switch off. Wait 5 sconds and then slide switch back on.
• Press and hold the house code button for approx 6 seconds, until the red
light turns on, then flashes slowly. Release the button and the red light
will go out.

• Re-attach the MCP to the mounting box.
Note clearing the house codes will now reset the MCP to the original fac-
tory settings. It will now only communicate with un-coded alarms (see
Smoke Alarm instruction leaflet for information on how to un-code the
smoke alarms).

5. LIMITATIONS OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are
tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power
and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some
limitations to be considered:
tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power
and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some
limitations to be considered:
(i) Radio equipment, such as the MCP, should be tested regularly at
least weekly. This is to determine whether there are sources of inter-
ference preventing communication. The radio paths may be
least weekly. This is to determine whether there are sources of inter-
ference preventing communication. The radio paths may be
disrupted by moving furniture or renovations, and so regular testing
protects against these and other faults.

(ii) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near
their operating frequencies, regardless of the house coding.
The MCP Transceiver has been tested to EN 300 220-1 V1.3.1 (200-
09) in accordance with the requirements of EN 300 220V1.1.1 (2000-
09). These tests are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installations. This equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio and television reception.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. Interference from the Smoke Alarm system can
be identified by turning the whole system off. To turn off the MCP (see
section 2). Refer to the instructions supplied with the other products
used for information on these. The user is encouraged to eliminate
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

The MCP is designed to last 10 years in normal use. However the
MCP must be replaced if:

2. The unit is over 10 years old (see ‘replace by” label on the side of
the mounting box).

7. GETTING YOUR EI407 MCP SERVICED
If your MCP fails to work after you have read this leaflet, contact
Customer Assistance at the nearest address given at the end of this
leaflet. If it needs to be returned for repair or replacement put it in a
padded box with the battery disconnected. (Slide switch to ‘off’
position - see figure 4). Send it to "Customer Assistance and
Information" at the nearest address given on the MCP or in this
leaflet. State the nature of the fault, where MCP was purchased and
the date of purchase.
