ESL 560N Series
Description
The ESL 560N Series smoke alarms are designed to be used as
standalone smoke alarms. The units include an optional intergrated
fixed 135°F tempeature and rate-of-rise heat detector that trips an
alarm based on temperature detected. Self-diagnostics monitors its own
sensitivity and operational status. If the unit drifts out of the UL Listed
sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics, it extinguishes its LED.
Internal Signal Outputs
When the unit is listed with a transmitter, it provides the following
signals for interfacing:
•
Alarm
•
Alarm restore
•
Low battery
•
CleanMe®
•
Maintenance alert
Installation
1. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the unit to unsnap
it and lift it off. See Figure 2.
2. Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V lithium batteries into the
alarm battery compartment and replace the battery cover.
3. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the unit.
4. Using the 2 screws and anchors provided, mount the base.
5. Attach the unit to the base as follows:
- Line up the raised alignment tab on the lip of the unit with the
alignment arrow on the base. See Figure 3.
- Insert the unit into the base and turn clockwise approximately 15
degrees. It should snap firmly into place.
Important
: The unit cannot be attached to the base if no
batteries are installed.
6. Test the unit. See Smoke Test.
Smoke Test
The units should be tested in place annually using one of the following
methods:
A. Use Smoke! in a can
®
and follow the directions on the can.
B. Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the unit and
gently direct the smoke into the smoke entry openings for 20
seconds or until an alarm is indicated.
The LED should stay on, the sounder should emit a temporal 3 pattern,
and an alarm should be indicated at the control panel. Be sure to
extinguish the smoke source after testing!
Silence the Alarm
Press the Test/Silence button to silence the sounder during an alarm.
After a few minutes, the sounder and alarm resume if smoke is still
present.
Sensitivity Test
1. Press and hold the Test/Silence button for 4 seconds. Once the test
starts, the unit LED flashes 1 to 9 times.
2 . Count the number of LED flashes, then use the following table to
determine if any action is necessary.
Flashes
0-1
Indication:
Unservicable hardware fault.
Action:
Reset and rerun sensitivity test. If the error
persists, replace unit.
2-3
Indication:
Unit is becoming insensitive.
Action:
Clean and reset the unit. Rerun sensitivity test.
If the error persists, replace the unit.
4-7
Indication:
Unit is within normal sensitivity range.
Action:
N/A
8-9
Indication:
Unit is becoming too sensitive.
Action:
Verify the optical chamber is snapped down
securely. Clean the unit and replace the optical
chamber.
After the LED flashes, if the sensitivity is within limits and all other
tests pass, the unit goes into alarm and resets after 7 seconds. If the
sensitivity is not within limits, or an unserviceable hardware fault has
been detected, the unit LED extinguishes until the unit is serviced.
LED Functions
Flashing = Flashes every 9 seconds to indicate normal operation.
On = Detects smoke.
Off = Trouble or maintenance is required.
When to Replace the Batteries
When the batteries are low, the unit extinguishes its LED and chirps
every 45 seconds until the batteries are replaced. The low battery trouble
chirps can be silenced for 24 hours by pressing the Test/Silence button.
Battery life is a minimum of 1 year and varies depending on how often
the unit is tested.
