Wiring update Ei151 to Ei161

[Guest RobE]

Hi,

My Ei 151TL alarm required replacing as the 10 year date came to an end. I bought the alternative alarm as the Ei 151TL is no longer avaliable. 

I can see the new alarm Ei161e the wires have to be disconnected from the plug socket and re-wired directly into the alarm base. The four wires currently coming though the celing are live, battery, interconnect & neutral.

My only question is what do i do with the battery wire for the new alarm Ei161e? As the Ei161e only has live, interconnect & neutral.

I have the exact same problem - have you reached a solution yet?

Hi Nathan

The two blue were the following:

-neutral

-battery

The two blue wires are joined together and become the neutral.

So what your saying is both blue wires go into the neutral on the base?

[Tom Sutton]

Its clear to me , that is what harry is saying.

[Guest Graham B]

Connected the blues together and all is well and functioning correctly.

Does the same method aply to the ei3016?

[Guest Quinny]

I'm also interested in if this is the same for the Ei3016...

Yup...two blues in one terminal works. Same question / doubts - thanks for the answer / assurance. AICO should consider providing this info as they are selling this as a replacement.
