The Ei414 can deliver either a pulse signal or a continuous switched signal via the relays to the universal transmitters. A dip switch also provides a delayed timed response. The specific signal type will be determined by the requirements of the OEM universal sensor.

The Ei414 contains three mains-rated relays (rated up to 250V AC / 5 Amps). The relay volt contacts operate on mains power or on battery backup cells in the event of a mains failure.

The Ei414 has a keyed 3-way position switch. In the "on" position, the Ei414 will respond to a "Fire" or "CO" signal. In the "off" position, the Ei414 will not respond to any RadioLINK signals. In the "test" position, the Ei414 will only respond to a "button test" signal or a "repeated remote test signal" (e.g., from an Ei450 or Ei412). Upon receipt of a button test signal, the relevant relay (fire or CO) will activate. Upon receipt of a repeated remote test signal, the fire relay will activate.

The Ei414 uses RadioLINK multi-repeater, multi-path technology to deliver very robust and reliable RF signal coverage. While designed primarily to interface with a Warden Call or similar telecare system, the versatility of the Ei414’s electrically isolated contacts means it can be used to switch many other OEM devices.
