Superior Optical Detection for Domestic Fire Safety

At the heart of the Ei3016 is Aico’s high-performance Optical Sensor, specifically tuned to identify the large smoke particles typically produced by smouldering fires. This makes it ideal for areas where furniture, electrical appliances, and fabrics could ignite slowly, giving off smoke before flames appear.

For example, if an electrical device in a bedroom begins to overheat and smoulder, the Ei3016’s optical sensor detects this early-stage smoke and activates the 85dB alarm before the fire develops into a more dangerous situation—buying valuable time for evacuation or fire suppression.

AudioLINK+ Smart Diagnostics

The built-in AudioLINK+ feature transforms the Ei3016 into a smart diagnostics device. Using a mobile app and the alarm’s own sounder, you can extract real-time data such as sensor status, activation dates, and overall alarm health. This is particularly beneficial for property managers, landlords, and safety inspectors who require audit-ready data without dismantling the alarm.

The report can be generated and emailed directly from your mobile device, streamlining property compliance and maintenance processes.

SmartLINK Wireless Integration (Optional)

By inserting the Ei3000MRF module, the Ei3016 joins Aico’s SmartLINK network—a wireless system that allows alarms to communicate across a property. From real-time alerts to remote data extraction and automatic fault reporting, this system enhances safety and efficiency, especially in multi-unit residential buildings or housing associations.

Dust & Insect-Resistant Sensor Chamber

The Ei3016 is designed to minimise false alarms with a unique self-monitoring dust compensation mechanism. The optical sensor continuously analyses dust accumulation and adjusts its sensitivity to ensure accurate performance even in environments prone to airborne particles. An integrated insect screen further protects the sensor, reducing the chance of insects or debris triggering the alarm.
