Aico Ei3016 Optical Smoke Detector Alarm Fire Safety

The silent threat most smoke detectors miss

Smouldering fires account for more than 25% of residential fire deaths in developed countries, yet many conventional smoke alarms fail to detect them effectively. The Ei3016 Optical Smoke Detector from Aico solves this critical gap by combining optical sensor technology with precision engineering designed specifically for the fires that claim the most lives.

Why optical detection matters for your home

Photoelectric smoke detectors are generally better at detecting slow smoldering fires and reducing nuisance alarms compared to ionization models. The Ei3016 leverages this advantage with a high-performance optical sensor that responds quickly to fires that begin with a long period of smoldering. A common fire scenario is a cigarette igniting upholstered furniture, leading to a smouldering fire lasting hours as it spreads silently until flames suddenly erupt—exactly the scenario this detector is engineered to catch early.

Engineered to eliminate false alarms

False alarms are one of the leading reasons homeowners disable smoke detectors entirely, defeating their protective purpose. The Ei3016 addresses this directly through three integrated features: an integrated insect screen, a unique self-monitoring dust compensation mechanism that tolerates up to twice as much dust as conventional optical alarms, and automatic recalibration when dust accumulates to certain levels. This sophisticated approach means you get reliable protection without the disruption of false alerts from cooking, steam, or dust accumulation.

Whole-home protection tailored to each room

The Ei3016 is suitable for hallways, landings, bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms. Its compact, unobtrusive white design (15 cm diameter, 5.4 cm height) fits seamlessly into modern homes while providing comprehensive coverage. Optical smoke detectors are widely used in homes due to their ability to detect slow-burning fires and reduced sensitivity to common household disturbances, providing reliable fire detection while minimising the inconvenience of false alarms.

Smart features that connect your home safety

The Ei3016 features AudioLINK+ technology, which allows you to extract real-time data from the alarm using its sounder directly to a smartphone or tablet via an app, generating a simple report displaying activation dates, sensor status and alarm life. For those seeking advanced integration, the alarm is SmartLINK compatible—simply plug in an Ei3000MRF module for wireless interconnection, data extraction and real-time notifications of alarm activations and events.

Dependable power you can trust

The Ei3016 runs on 230V mains power and includes a 10-year built-in tamper-proof rechargeable lithium battery that provides back-up power during mains failure. No more worrying about battery replacements or discovering dead batteries at the wrong moment. The detector self-checks its own internal circuitry, battery, and sensor every 48 seconds, with audible beeps and LED flashes if a fault is detected.

Easy to install, built to last

The Ei3016 is fully compatible with all other Aico alarms and accessories and works with hard-wired, RadioLINK or hybrid interconnecting systems, making it simple to expand existing protection or create a new integrated system. Installation is straightforward with Aico's Easi-Fit base design.

Choose the Ei3016 to protect against the fires that matter most—the ones traditional detectors too often miss.
