Disabling for EI141 for temporary purpose

[Guest Mohan Singh]

Please let me know how to disable E141 for temporary purpose as switching off the main power for fire alard didn't worked for me.

Hi Mohan, you just need to remove the alarm from the base and take the battery out. Press the test button to drain the residual power. Here is a video to show you how to remove the Ei141from the ceiling. If you can still hear beeps they will be from a carbon monoxide alarm with a low battery nearby.

Is it safe to turn the mains back on why one unit is out of it’s socket ? cause we have one of these in every room so they need power but the one in my room is beeping at me cause it’s battery is dying it really loud and piercing so i can’t Leave it and it’s 1 am and we don’t have any batteries in the house.

Hi, when the alarm is removed, the base plate design is such that there is very little possibility to come in contact with the electrical elements. With the unit being on the ceiling there is also little chance of a child poking a screw driver into the alarm base plate. Maybe you could temporarily cover the base with a piece of cardbard while you are waiting for your new alarm.
