B4Z-844-SMOKE900MHz Smoke Detector

1 ESL Wireless Smoke Detector Wireless ESL Commercial Wireless Smoke Detector 60-992-900 Installation Instructions (PRELIMINARY) Product Summary The ESL Supervised Commercial Wireless Smoke Detector is UL Listed (UL 268) for use in commercial applications. The unit combines a photoelectric smoke detector with an integrated fixed 135°F temperature and rate-of-rise heat detector, and a Learn Mode transmitter for use with compatible wireless control panels (see “Specifications” on back page). Detector Operation Under normal non-alarm conditions, the detector LED (light-emitting diode) flashes once every nine seconds while monitor- ing the surrounding conditions. The detector transmits a supervisory signal every 64 minutes indicating its status, which the panel receives and processes accordingly. In an alarm condition due to smoke or heat, the LED changes from flashing to on and the built-in sounder emits a temporal 3 pattern (a repeated series of three beeps followed by a short pause). The detector also transmits an alarm signal, which the panel receives and processes accordingly. A built-in tamper switch activates whenever the detector is removed from its mounting base, causing the detector to transmit a tamper signal which the panel receives and processes accordingly. The detector is powered by two 3-volt lithium batteries (included). When the battery voltage gets low, the detector transmits a low battery signal which the panel receives and processes accordingly. If the batteries are not replaced within seven days, the detector’s built-in sounder emits a short beep or chirp every 45 seconds. The detector also includes self-diagnostics, automatically adjusting its sensitivity accordingly to reduce the number of detector cleanings. When cleaning becomes necessary, the detector has a field-replaceable optical chamber. General Guidelines •Before mounting detectors, program (learn) them into panel memory and perform a sensor test from the detector’s intended location, to ensure good RF communication to the panel. •Locate the detector in environmentally controlled areas where the temperature range is between 40° and 100°F (4.4° and 37.8°C) and the humidity is between 0 and 90% non-condensing. •Locate detectors away from ventilation sources that can prevent smoke from reaching the detector. •Locate ceiling mounted detectors in the center of the room or hallway, at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or partitions. •Locate wall mounted detectors so the top of the detector is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below the ceiling. •In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate detectors 3 feet (.9 meters) down or away from the highest point of the ceiling. •When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be secured with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile removal. Note: Do not mount the detector to the metal runners of suspended ceiling grids. The metal runners can draw the magnet’s field away from the detector’s reed switch, causing a false tamper alarm 4300 Series Wireless Smoke Detector NX Series Wireless Smoke Alarm/Detector Figure 1.

Introduction This device is a smoke detector. The RF transmitter portion of the circuit resides on a daughterboard. It connects to a larger circuit board (the motherboard) via a 6-pin ribbon cable. The motherboard provides signals that cause the daughterboard to transmit. It transmits data via a 902 - 928MHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) link to a base station receiver. The base station receiver may in turn be connected to a personal computer or security panel via a hardwired connection. Power is supplied over the header connection by two standard CR123 LiMNO2 3V batteries connected in parallel on the smoke detector motherboard. The enclosure measures approximately 5.5′′ diameter by 2.5′′ high. The unit weighs approximately 5 ounces. The antenna is soldered to the daughterboard and is internal to the enclosure. The transmitter uses the 902-928MHz ISM band, operating as a FHSS device. We are requesting Certification under FCC Rules, Part 15, Subpart C, Paragraph 15.247.
