1 ESL Universal Wireless Smoke Alarm/Detector 4300 Series Wireless Smoke Detector Figure 1 - Alarm/Detector Features Description The ESL smoke alarm/detector is a Learn Mode, wireless sensor that uses photoelectric technology with a self contained alarm siren, a low battery annunciator, and a status LED. The smoke alarm/detector is part of a security/ fire alarm system and communicates with the system control panel. Depending on the model, the smoke alarm/detector provides the following features: Self-diagnostics. The ESL Universal Series smokes monitor their own sensitivity and operational status. If the smoke alarm/detector drifts out of the UL listed sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics, it extinguishes its LED and sends a trouble signal to the control panel. Base tamper switch sends a trouble signal transmission to the control panel when the smoke alarm/detector is removed from its mounting base. Integrated fixed 135°F temperature and rate of rise heat detector trips an alarm based on high temperature detected or rapidly rising temperature rate (15° minimum) (models 562STU and 572STU only). Transmitted Signal Outputs Depending on the model, the smoke alarm/detector transmits the following signals to the control panel: • Alarm • Alarm restore • Tamper Wireless ESL Universal Wireless Smoke Alarm/Detector NX Series Wireless Smoke Alarm/Detector U L  LISTED • Low battery • Trouble signal • Supervisory Selecting a Location Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of smoke alarms/detectors. This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72. See Figure 2. 56X - UL 217 Smoke Alarm Series 57X - UL 268 Smoke Detector Series Installation Instructions LED Test/Silence button Sounder A-8-1.2.1.a Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms/Detectors in Existing Construction. The major threat from fire in a family living unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep. The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fires in the remainder of the unit. Therefore, a smoke alarm/ detector(s) is best located between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one bedroom area on one floor, the smoke alarm/detector(s) should be located as shown in Figure 2 A. In family living units with more than one bedroom area or with more than one floor, more than one smoke alarm/ detector is required, as shown in Figure 2 B. In addition to smoke alarms/detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the installation of a smoke alarm/detector on each additional story of the family living unit, including the basement, is required. These installations are shown in Figure 2 C. The living area smoke alarm/ detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke alarm/detector should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the floor above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the alarm/detector should be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned relative to the stairway to intercept smoke coming from a fire in the basement before the smoke enters the stairway.

All of the smoke alarms/detectors specified in A-8-1.2.1.a for existing construction are required and, in addition, a smoke alarm/detector is required in each bedroom. A-8-1.2.1.c Are More Smoke Alarms/Detectors Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms/detectors might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms/detectors. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms/detectors for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms/detectors. The installation of smoke alarms/detec- tors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasion- ally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. Important ! Regulations pertaining to smoke alarm/detector installa- tions vary from state to state. For more information, contact your local fire department or local authority having jurisdiction. In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guide- lines to optimize performance and reduce the chance of false alarms from the alarm/detector: • Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms/detectors in the center of a room or hallway at least 4 inches from any walls or partitions. • Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms/detectors so the top of the alarms/detector is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling. • Locate in a suitable environment as follows: - Temperature between 40°F (4.4°C) and100°F (37.8°C) - Humidity between 0 and 95% non-condensing • Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers and any other ventilation source that may interfere with smoke entering the alarm/detector. • Mount smoke alarms/detectors on a firm permanent surface, typically a stud or metal runner. • Locate away from large metallic objects. 3 ESL Universal Wireless Smoke Alarm/Detector 3. Making sure that the unit is removed from its base, put the panel in program mode/Learn Mode. 4. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the alarm/detector. The alarm/de…

Interactive Technologies Inc 01/05/01 8:38 AM FCC ID: B4Z-778A-SMOKE C:\WINNT\Profiles\nelson\Desktop\FCC Documintation\Submittles\A Smoke\peices\OP_DESC.DOC Product Description The product is a wireless smoke alarm (detector) used in conjunction with a wireless security alarm system. The smoke alarm unit monitors the environment for the presence of smoke, abnormally high temperature, or sudden increase in temperature. If any of these conditions, which are indicative of a fire, are found, the unit goes into alarm. In alarm the unit may, depending on the model, sound its internal siren and will transmit an alarm message to the security alarm panel. The panel will then sound its sirens, and call the monitoring station for help. While in alarm, the unit will transmit the alarm condition every minute to be sure the signal gets through. Normally the unit only transmits supervisory signals every hour. This product is the combination of a smoke alarm manufactured Sentrol, a division of SLC Technologies, and the transmitter manufactured by ITI. ITI has code imbedded in the microcontroller of the smoke detector to control the transmitter. The microcontroller used is a Motorola 68HC705P6. The RF circuit consists of a 345 MHz oscillator followed by an amplifier. The amplifier is turned on and off to modulate the carrier. EXHIBIT I Operational Description

Lab Measurements Discussion / Test Notes 3.1 Test Notes 3.1.1 Transmissions shall cease within 5 seconds of activation [ §15.231(a)(2) ] In the event of a smoke alarm, 10 packets are sent in the transmission. The packet duration is, 19.5 mS, see Duty Cycle Correction Factor [§15.231(b)(2) and §15.35(c)]. The time between packets is nominally 90 mS so the length of the longest transmission is: 10*20mS + 9*90mS = 1.10 seconds. So long as the fire alarm condition is present, the device will re-transmit every minute as allowed in §15.231(a)(4). The following plot shows an 10-packet transmission that concludes in less than 5 seconds. Interactive Technologies Inc FCC_REPT.DOC 01/05/01 8:59 AM FCC ID: B4…
