CERTIFICATION

 

For complete approval details, refer to the appropriate Appendix: 

             

         

 

Appendix A - FM        Appendix B - CSA      Appendix C - IECEx  
Appendix D - Additional Approvals

 

 

OPERATION

 

 

 

WARM UP 

 

When the detector is initially powered up, a warm-up period of one 

 two seconds is allotted for internal checks and communication. 

During this time, the LED is off and the current level is 3 mA. After 
the checks are completed, normal operation will be indicated by the 
LED flashing every four seconds (current level is 4 mA).  
 
If the detector is unable to reach the normal operating mode, the 
warm-up period may extend to five seconds, followed by a critical 
fault or an advisory fault (see Table 1 for all current levels). If the 
problem persists, check for any loose wiring connections, ensure 
that the voltage supply is sufficient, and cycle power if necessary.  

 

OUTPUTS 

 

Relays 

 

The U5015 detector is furnished with smoke alarm, fault, and 
auxiliary relays. All three relays are rated to 5 amperes at 30 Vdc.
