Operating instructions
Read the operating manual thoroughly and follow all fitting instructions carefully. Please follow the
instructions to ensure proper functioning. The EIM-217 operates according to the photoelectronic
principle and is powered by a replaceable 9V battery. It is used to identify and announce the presence
of smoke, and warn people in private homes both through sound and visually. A piercing alarm sounds
whenever the device detects the presence of smoke. Note that the device detects the smoke, and not the
flames, produced by a fire.
1. Purpose
•Identifying and signalling household fires or for similar applications in residential environments.

2. Safety precautions

• DO NOT paint over or apply any other type of coating to the smoke detector.
• Use a small, soft paint brush or slightly-damp cloth, about twice a year, to remove any build-ups of
dirt and dust. Smoke detectors used in dusty conditions should be cleaned monthly. DO NOT use
compressed air for this purpose.
• WARNING: In order to prevent injuries, this device must be fastened reliably to the ceiling according to
the installation instructions.
• If the smoke detector is to work reliably, it MUST be fitted with the correct type of battery, which must be
replaced as required (see also point 7).
