MODIFIRE

A Modifire system is exceptionally simple

to design and install, thanks to its modular

design and unique Easi-fit technology.

Just tailor the system to meet the needs

of the premises. The Ei161R ionisation or

Ei166R optical alarm with rechargeable

back-up provides the starting point. Then

you can add extra alarms, call points and

locator switches as required, all

interconnected with PVC mains wiring

cable. Only one ‘R’ unit - Ei161R or Ei166R

- is necessary for each system.

BASIC SYSTEM (GUIDE ONLY)

•  System to cover escape routes only

•  Choose from Ei161R ionisation or Ei166R

optical alarms

•  Connect Manual Call points MCP400

into the circuit

INTERMEDIATE SYSTEM
(GUIDE ONLY)

•  System to cover escape routes AND

high risk areas

•  Install Ei161R or Ei166R alarm and add

further ionisation (Ei161), optical (Ei166)

and heat alarms (Ei164) as required to

a maximum of 20 alarms. The Ei128R

relay base counts as one alarm

•  Connect into the circuit Manual Call

Points MCP400 as required

•  Connect into the circuit Alarm Locator
