ESL 511 518 Series Detector Instructions ESL 511 518 Series Smoke Detector is a two wire designed for use with a 24VDC fire system to ESL cid 146 s Compatibility Index for a complete listing compatible control panels For a copy of the Index call 1 800 648 7424 is important that you read understand and follow instructions in this guide If you have questions Sentrol at 1 800 648 7424 document is intended for licensed electricians installers Sentrol cannot provide technical to unqualified persons to properly install test and maintain a detector system may cause it to fail resulting loss of life and or property detector provides the following features lock discourages unauthorized removal of detector by requiring a screwdriver to remove the from the base base mounts directly to standard single gang 3 round or 4 inch octagonal electrical boxes Can also mounted directly to walls and ceilings if the local having jurisdiction allows a Location a suitable location is critical to the operation of detectors This equipment should be installed in with the National Fire Protection Association cid 146 s Standard 72 Regulations pertaining to detector installation from state to state For more information contact local fire department or local authority having juris addition to NFPA 72 use the following location guide to optimize performance and reduce the chance of alarms from the detector Locate ceiling mounted smoke detectors in the center of room or hallway at least 4 inches from any walls or 1 Detector Base Lock Knockouts Locate wall mounted smoke detectors so the top of the is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling DO NOT locate detectors in or near bathrooms or Locate in a suitable environment as follows Temperature between 32 cid 176 F 0 cid 176 C and 100 cid 176 F 37.8 cid 176 C Humidity between 0 and 95 non condensing Locate away from air conditioners heating registers and other ventilation source that may interfere with entering the detector Mount smoke detectors on a firm permanent surface the Detector wiring must conform to the National Electric Code and or local codes having jurisdiction Use 12 to AWG wire to install the detector If you are using the detector base lock remove the knockout and break off the tab on the mounting See Figure 1 Remove the red plastic dust cover from the detector detector is shipped with a dust cover for protection construction sites with dusty environments Run system wiring to the detector location and mount boxes if necessary Line up and attach the gasket and mounting base to the box wall or ceiling using the screws pro Use the wall anchors if necessary See Figure 2 Strip the system wires and connect them to the appropri terminals on the detector See Figure 3 base 2 Mounting the Detector Listed control panel 3 Wiring Diagram Attach the detector to the mounting base as follows Line up the raised tab on the side of the detector with the arrow on the mounting base See Figure 4 Insert the smoke detector into the base and turn clockwise approximately 15 degrees It should snap firmly into place Apply power Test the detector See Smoke Testing the Detector The control panel alarm and all auxiliary should be verified for a complete test of the Testing the Detector detectors should be tested in place annually using or canned aerosol simulated smoke Follow the on the canned smoke or use the following to test the detector with smoke Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the entry openings Gently direct the smoke into the detector for 20 seconds until an alarm is indicated SURE TO PROPERLY EXTINGUISH THE SMOKE AFTER TESTING The detector LED should on and an alarm should be indicated at the control Use the system reset switch to reset the detector the LED LED on the detector indicates the status of the detector follows every 9 seconds Normal operation Detects smoke sending an alarm or flashing once every 1.5 seconds Trouble or is required Test the detector See Testing the Sensitivity 4 Attaching Detector to Base the Detector Sensitivity detector provides a sensitivity test that allows you to the detector sensitivity using a test magnet and the indicator on the detector as follows Hold the test magnet up to the raised TEST letters on top of the detector for 2 seconds See Figure 5 the test starts the alarm LED flashes one to nine Count the number of times the LED flashes and use the table to determine the status of the detector and what action to take if any the test the sensitivity is within limits and all other tests pass detector goes into alarm and must be reset from the panel the sensitivity is not within limits or an unserviceable fault has been detected the detector LED every 1.5 seconds until the detector is serviced 5 Test Magnet Placement and Removing the Detector remove the detector from the mounting base grasp detector and turn it counterclockwise approximately 15 The detector should snap off of the mounting remove the detector from the mounting base when detector base lock is used insert a small screwdriver the locking tab slot on the side of the base and press in simultaneously turning the detector counterclockwise degrees See Figure 6 the smoke detector to its mounting base as Line up the raised tab on the side of the detector with the arrow on the mounting base See Figure 4 Insert the smoke detector into the base and turn clockwise approximately 15 degrees It should snap firmly into place 6 Unlocking the Detector Use a vacuum to remove dust and dirt from the optical 7 Removing the Detector Cap slot 8 Removing the Optical Chamber the Detector the detector cover with a dry or damp water cloth as to keep it free from dust and dirt necessary clean the detector interior and replace the chamber as follows Disconnect the alarm notification appliances service devices and extinguishing systems Slide a flat blade screwdriver into the slot on the detector and gently push the handle down to pry the cap up off See Figure 7 Press in on the sides of the optical chamber and pull it up away from the detector and discard See Figure 8 base Line the new optical chamber up with the optical chamber and snap it down into place Replace the detector cap as follows the tabs on the cap with the slots on the detector the cap into the smoke detector and turn clockwise approximately 15 degrees It should snap firmly into place Test the detector sensitivity See Testing the Detector Sensitivity Reconnect all alarm notification appliances service devices and extinguishing systems The control panel alarm and all auxiliary should be verified for a complete test of the the Detector 511 518 Series smoke detectors are designed for field service and maintenance When installed and properly they require minimal maintenance smoke detector should be tested weekly See the Detector Sensitivity and Smoke Testing the OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PURPOSE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION A PERIOD OF 3 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF
