ESL 1500 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel
Optional Remote Notification Disconnect
Applies to LEM optional module. Disconnects system
from remote sites. When activated, the trip circuit fault
LED and system fault condition will exist and remain until
the switch is returned to the normal position.
Note:
Notify the local fire department and the
receiving station before disconnecting the LEM
from the system.
Normal Condition
Under normal operating conditions only the green “AC
POWER” LED should be on (no alarm or faults). All
control switches must be in their normal, standby position.
Alarm Condition
An alarm can be initiated by means of a smoke detector,
heat detector, manual alarm station, waterflow alarm
device, or other UL Listed initiating device. The red zone
alarm LED will light and the integral sounder will provide a

continuous, steady audible signal. Both alarm indicating circuits will activate and sound a general alarm. A set of dry, Form C
supplementary common alarm contacts will transfer and remain latched until the system RESET switch is operated. When used,
the supervised zone alarm output will energize. If provided, the remote communicator circuit will activate to summon organized
assistance.
Alarm Verification
When activated, alarm verification is very effective in reducing nuisance alarms. Nuisance alarms are reduced by requiring 2
separate alarm signals to activate the system When the first alarm is received from an initiating device, the verification feature
inhibits an alarm output for approximately 12 seconds. After this period, power is reapplied to the initiating circuits. If a second
alarm signal is received within 2 minutes, a system alarm is generated; if not, the system resets and no alarm is generated. An
alarm from a manual station or heat detector, however, is never delayed more than 15 seconds. To activate alarm verifica-
tion, see BMB Programming.
Note:
When using alarm verification, total alarm delay (alarm verifi smoke detector power-up time) cannot exceed
60 seconds according to the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) or 30 seconds for installations governed by the California
State Fire Marshall. Alarm delay includes verification time (12 seconds) and smoke detector power-up time. Smoke detector
power-up time varies by manufacturer, however, the ESL 429, 449, 521, 541, 500N, and 700 Series detectors meet both
CSFM and NFPA requirements (ESL detector power-up time is 15 seconds).
During alarm verification, the Zone LED, Remote Annunciator and the Zone Relay Module (ZRM) may activate briefly
(approximately 12 seconds) during the initial alarm signal.
Zone Disconnect
Note:
For maintenance use only! Notify local fire department and receiving station before operating the switch
if the control panel is monitored, as a “trouble” signal will be transmitted.
When activated prior to an alarm condition, this switch disconnects the local zone alarm from the auxiliary alarm relay and
alarm indicating circuits. When activated, the red local alarm zone LED turns on and, if used, the supervised remote annuncitator
LED lights. Only the disconnected zone is affected; alarm signals from other zones remain active.
When activated after an alarm condition, the auxiliary alarm relay remains latched and alarm indicating circuits are turned off.
The red local alarm zone LED remains on and, if used, the supervised remote annunciator remains on. Only the disconnected zone
is affected; alarm signals from other zones remain active. Additionally, if an initiating device is still in alarm when a zone discon-
nect switch is returned to normal, the alarm will again be transmitted to both the alarm indicating circuits and the integral sounder.
