Under abnormal conditions, AC line voltages may be present on any terminal. Touching any component could be
hazardous and result in loss of life. A short circuit can result in arcing that could cause molten metal injuries to
testing personnel.

System Overview
The ESL 1500 Series Control Panels are designed to provide reliable and economical fire alarm control solutions for commercial,
industrial, residential, and institutional applications. The 1500 Series consists of three base models, equipped with one (Model
1501), three (1503), or five (1505) zones. The unique modular design makes it easy and practical to add features such as extra
relays, remote annunciators or added fire zones (up to 5).
All models come equipped with a Basic Master Board (BMB), which provides all common system functions for alarm, fault, and
supervisory monitoring, together with one initiating and two indicating circuits. Models 1503 and 1505 also include Zone
Expander Modules (ZEM), expanding the systems capability from three zones up to a maximum of five zones.
One housing is common to all three system configurations. The cabinet holds all standard and optional modules as well as
necessary standby batteries for either 24 or 60 hour protection.
Combine the versatile 1500 Series with the complete line of compatible ESL smoke detectors, pull stations, and indicating devices
for a reliable fire control system. See Appendix A for a list of UL Listed compatible devices.
