Description

The ESL 572NS smoke detector must be used as part of a
wireless system and requires a transmitter.

The detector provides the following features:

CleanMe

 

Self-diagnostics monitors its own sensitivity and

operational status. If the detector drifts out of the UL listed
sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics, it extinguishes
its LED and sends a trouble signal to the control panel.

Tamper switch sends a trouble signal to the control panel
when the detector is removed from its mounting base.

Transmitted Signal Outputs

Once a wireless transmitter is installed, the detector can
transmit the following signals to the control panel:

• Alarm

•  CleanMe

• Alarm restore

•  Maintenance alert

• Low battery

•  Tamper

Since regulations pertaining to smoke detector installation vary
from state to state, contact the authority having jurisdiction
(AHJ). Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be a
federal, state, local, or other regional department or individual
such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire prevention
bureau, labor or health department, building official, electrical
inspector, or others having statutory authority. For insurance
purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau,
or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In
some cases, the property owner or their designated agent
assumes the role of the AHJ. At government installations, the
commanding officer or department official may be the AHJ.

General Guidelines

Locate the detector in evironmentally controlled areas
where the temperature range is between 40° and 100° F
(4.4° and 37.8° C) and the humidity is between 0 and 90%
noncondensing.

Locate detectors away from ventilation sources that can
prevent smoke from reaching the detector.

Locate ceiling mounted detectors in the center of the room
or hallway, at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or
partitions.

Locate wall mounted detectors so the top of the detector
is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below the ceiling.

In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate
detectors 3 feet (.9 meters) down or away from the highest
point of the ceiling.

When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be
secured with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile
removal.

Installation Guidelines

Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of
smoke detectors. This equipment should be installed in
accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s
(NFPA) Standard 72, Chapters 2 and 8. Depending on the
application, you may need to reference other chapters of
NFPA 72 or NFPA 101.
