Introduction
• Fire Safety Audit
– Review to upgrade Historical Fire System within Supported
Living Accommodation
– None Compliance / Original Installation >30 Years
• Costing & Design Required for Replacement Hardwire
System
• Tender Completed & Contractor Appointed
• Full Asbestos Survey conducted on Property
– Start Delay due to Historical Issue Asbestos on site
• Solutions now required to be sought to maintain Fire Safety
at property should system fail
• Aico consulted for possible solutions due to previous
projects completed with Tai Calon
Solution
• Wireless / RF System
• Cost effective solution minimising site disruption
• Meet requirements of both Audit & H&S Report
• System Specification Design Drafted utilising new product providing
Integration
• In House Electrical Team – Quick, Cost Effective Solution, PPM
• Maintaining Coverage of New & Existing System
• Enforcing Stay Put Policy with Visual Aid within Property
• Futureproofing System
• DDA Compliance
• Warden Call Integration
• Duplex Communication with House Fire Panel
• Presentation conducted with Tai Calon & South Wales Fire & Rescue
Service Nov’14

INSTALLATION NOTES;
- Each Ei414 to be wired as above per Zone
- Due to Limited Zone availability on the Panel, CO will sound
the Same Circuit as the Fire Notification
- Fire Alarm Trigger to the Ei414 can be either a Volt-free
change over or triggered from the Sounder Circuit
- Power Supply for the Ei414 can be either 230VAC or fed from
the Fire Panel
- The EOL resistor if not local can be substituted for the
outgoing circuitry
- The Fault Resistor 470 Ohm is indicative only as you will need
to verify this from the existing panel on site

In the ‘OFF’ Position; all functions from the Ei414
are disabled – No Functional Relays will Operate
In the ‘ON’ Position; all functions from the Ei414
are enabled – Any activation via actual Smoke,
CO, Service or other optional Input will operate
the appropriate Relay and LED – Any manual
operation of a ‘Test’ button from a coded device
will NOT activate the relays or follow on
functions.
In the ‘TEST’ Position; all functions from the
Ei414 are enabled – Any activation via actual
Smoke, CO, Service or other optional Input will
operate the appropriate Relay and LED – Any
manual operation of a ‘Test’ button from a coded
device will also activate the relays or follow on
functions.
NOTE: The system MUST be house coded to differentiate between a Fire & CO RF Signal Type’s
