Wireless Supervisor Photoelectric Smoke Detector

 

2

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

Electronics Line's smoke detector is single station, photoelectric smoke detector 
with a built-in supervised wireless transmitter. 
When sufficient smoke is detected, or the test feature is operated, the detector will 
sound its alarm horn and the transmitter will send an ALARM message. The Alarm 
output in the receiver will remain activated until the alarm condition clears. 
The smoke alarm base lock discourages unauthorized removal of the smoke alarm 
by requiring a screwdriver to remove the alarm from the base. 
The smoke alarm provides the following signals to the control panel: 

 Alarm 

 

 Alarm

 Low

 Tamper 

 

 Supervision 

 

WARNINGS: 

This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential unit only, which means that it 
should be used inside a single family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in 
lobbies, hallways, basements, or another apartment in multi-family buildings, unless there are 
already working detectors in each family unit. Smoke detectors, placed in common areas 
outside of the individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide early 
warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family living unit should set up its own 
detectors. 
This detector is not to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses, industrial or 
commercial buildings, and special purpose non-residential buildings require special fire 
detection and alarm systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire 
detection systems for places where many people live or work, such as hotels or motels. The 
same is true of dormitories, hospitals; nursing homes or group homes of any kind, even if 
they were once single - family homes. Please refer NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, 
NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D, and 72E for smoke detector requirements for fire protection in 
buildings not defined as “households”.
