Overview
The GE 511C is a conventional photoelectric, direct-wire smoke
detector with drift compensation.
The 511C continually monitors its own sensitivity and operational
status, and provides a visual indication if it drifts out of the sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics.
Time between cleaning detectors is dramatically increased because
of the 511C’s built-in drift compensation. This feature, usually only
available in analog systems, allows the detector to automatically
adjust its sensitivity over time as it becomes dirty, increasing the life
of the detector. And, when the 511C needs cleaning, it’s literally a
snap with GE’s patented field replaceable optical chamber.
The GE 511C photoelectric smoke detector is a low-profile, self-diagnostic, two-wire detector that monitors its own sensitivity and
operational status. This detector meets NFPA 72 field sensitivity
requirements without the need for external meters.
Built-in drift compensation automatically adjusts the sensitivity as
the detector gets dirty. Normal sensing occurs every 9 seconds. This
rate doubles when a signal exceeding the alarm threshold value is
sensed. Two additional successive signals above the threshold level
will initiate an alarm.
See installation instructions for information about correct installation and maintenance.

Smoke Detector Technology
Most homes have battery operated ionization smoke detectors. These detectors react
quickly to flaming fires but usually take longer to detect smoldering fires – the most common type of fire that occurs in homes. GE 511C smoke detectors utilize photoelectric smoke
detection technology. Photoelectric smoke detectors continually analyze the air for smoke
particles and are more sensitive to smoldering fires than ionization detectors.Installing
both ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors in your home provides the best possible
protection for you and your family.
