This is the Aico EI170RF hard of hearing strobe fire alarm with vibration pad and RadioLINK interconnection. An Aico RadioLINK-enabled visual/tactile alarm designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing users who may be unable to hear a conventional auditory sounder.

Please note: this item is non-returnable; due to the nature of this item, it has an electronic component and sensor, and we cannot take this item back for a refund as "unwanted".

This alarm kit includes a high-intensity strobe light with a specially designed wide-angle lens, and it supports input from and output to other accessories via two auxiliary sockets, such as vibration discs, auto-diallers and alarm clocks.

This kit comes complete with a vibration disc to be placed underneath the user's pillow at night. When the alarm system is activated the disc will vibrate, providing a tactile warning of fire. Perfect for deep sleepers. The alarm does not contain a sensor and so requires a connection to an Aico RadioLINK-enabled smoke/heat detector. The Ei170RF system is mains-powered and incorporates a rechargeable backup battery in the event of mains failure.
